Ben planned our celebrations for the next night which was a Friday. He still would say nothing about what his plans were. He only told me to dress like I was going to church.
Well, we got in the car and Ben started driving to who knows where. I was excited to spend some time solely with my man. Suddenly he pulled into the Crissy Field Beach parking lot as is shown in the above photo. I immediately started to panic. This is how the conversation went...
Ben: We're taking kite surfing lessons!!!
Me: What?!?
Ben: There's our group right there. I brought your swim suit.
Me: (trying to remain calm) Ben, I am going to kill you. Why did you tell me to dress up if we're going Kite surfing. I even did my hair.
Ben: You don't want to go kite surfing?
Me: Ben, I'm almost 8 months pregnant. I can't Kite surf right now!!!!
Ben: Well, do you want to watch me do it?
Me: (furious, but trying to be nice because I sensed that he felt bad that I didn't approve of what he planned for us.) Well where's your swim-suit?
Ben: Under my church pants
Me: When I said no hiking or camping I guess I should have also mentioned that kite surfing was also not an option.
Ben: I'm just kidding, but you totally believed me.
Never before did "I'm just kidding" sound so lovely. I finally guessed what we were doing when I saw this poster.
I have wanted to see the musical 'Wicked' for a really long time, but for some reason had thought it had already left the city. Not only was I going to see 'Wicked', but I was going with just Ben and I didn't need to worry about passing out snacks and toys and keeping kids busy. My only job was to sit their and be entertained with my darling husband. It was amazing. Everything I expected and more.
My man did well.
