I Finally Did It

So here we go. Everyone has been asking for “Details, details, details.” Well here they are, but first I want to point out the “Thank you” section I created. While it’s not comprehensive and doesn’t completely thank everyone for everything, I thought it was a cool idea.

So the details: I rolled over at 5 a.m. and saw that she was already up. I told her we were going to Atlanta, one of the domestic locales she’s always wanted to visit. It took a few minutes, but I finally convinced her. While she got ready, I got us some Dunkin Donuts. When I got back, I spilled my white hot chocolate all over the steps and left my wallet in the car without realizing it. I had her call her boss to confirm she wasn’t coming in, but I had talked to her last week so it was ok.

At 6 a.m. my boy Carmine picked us up in a fricken 35’ Lincoln Navigator. Ours was black though. I have to thank John over at Action Limousine for the upgrade. And yes, we’re using you for the wedding. We left and it was five minutes before I realized I forgot my wallet. We turned around, but made it to the airport in plenty of time. After the flight from Newark Airport we got to Atlanta and we picked up our rental car and went to the Westin. We stopped by Applebee’s and got a bit to eat. Don’t give me any crap about eating Applebee’s in Atlanta—it wasn’t a real vacation so we didn’t have time to sample the locale cuisines.

After that we took a trip to Martin Luther King National Historic Site. We then made our way over to the Georgia Aquarium. Look at her with her new friends. The aquarium was fun and we stayed until it closed. We killed some time by riding up and down, downtown and midtown. The “ATL” seems like a great place!

We stopped and spent some time in Olympic Park. It’s a really beautiful place at night. I wasted some time until 6:15 p.m. the exact time she was born. I asked her if I could tell her a story and if she minded if I read it. I read my proposal in Spanish, Translated by Jessica T. at TransPerfect. After shaking off some shock she said yes.

We went back to the hotel and celebrated with some Pinot Grigio and food. On the way back, we were upgraded again. Carmine put us in a huge limo instead of the Excursion I expected and a bottle of champagne. That was a smooth move, sir.

No we are back home. That’s the story folks.
