For my mother's 60th birthday, we surprised her with a week long trip to beautiful Cape San Blas, Florida. I'll never forget the look on her face when I told her we were going. She was so excited. We'd had this trip planned for close to a year so we could hardly wait to get there. We rented an awesome house right on the beach with it's own pool. And except for the absence of my brother, Wally, who is serving in Iraq, it was an absolutely perfect week. Paul and the girls went out to the beach everyday and then into the pool. Momma relaxed on a float in the water daily as well. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen her so relaxed! Jake surprised us by giving us his first smiles while we were there. And I even ran into my college roommate who was also there for the week. It was all incredible!
