20th Anniversary Surprise!!!

September 15th was my husbands and I's 20th wedding anniversary.
Yes "20". I know I can hardly believe it!!
Anyway for a couple months my husband had some BIG exciting thing planned. This unknown thing...... had gotten canceled twice before this (once due to scheduling and once due to weather). I guessed MANY different things and asked MANY questions (some where not completely answered though).
HHHMMM Where are we going?
AHHHH I know!!

Believe it or not I guessed it!!
I knew it had to do with my husbands friend who owned a small plane. He would not confirm that though.........I also though maybe a hot air balloon???
We got to the small airport and they said "come on, lets go". I said (as pioneer woman would say) "say whaaaa"!!! I could not believe it and I said that ALL day!! It was AMAZING and so fun/exciting!! THANKS HUSBAND!! and thanks husband's friends/pilots!!



The friend and his wife are both pilots. We were going to Put in Bay in northern Ohio, Lake Erie. We had been there once before and it's a lot of fun.
I could not wai
t to get there......to eat food of course!!

The wife flew us there and the husband flew us back.
Whew... it was nice to have two experienced pilots at once!



Hold on.......here we go!!

Oh my gosh so beautiful.......you could see for about 30 miles!!


Look at those clouds!!

Approaching Lake Erie!! It only took us about 1 hour to get there. FAST!
It would take about 3-4 hours to drive there.


There's Put in Bay!! So much to look at from above!!



We went right to lunch at the marina!!
UUMMMMM crab bisque soup!! One of my favorites....and boy was it good!!





Golf carts are the ONLY way to go!! WEEEEEEEE


A little fun was had at the chocolate museum.
Ompa Dompa Doompity Doo. I've got another riddle for you!!

Speed it up!!

The Butterfly House and Perry's Cave is AWESOME.......it's my favorite!! They have a giant greenhouse full of butterflies from all over the world!!
I went a bit crazy with the pictures.

Below is a gift shop before you go in. This was a large wall of framed butterflies and a stained glass window.Beautiful!









They even had nice glass art inside the greenhouse.

Watch out.......the butterflies will land anywhere!!
Here is one on my leg and one on our pilots purse. Too funny!!



This was the cutest dog ever!! I talked with her owners inside the butterfly house and when I came out I got to see "Daisey".
So sweet!

A beautiful church.I had to snap a photo.

More food of course.......we had to get ice cream!!

Pilots need to fuel up too!!


Soaking it all in..almost time to leave. Boo Hoo!!


Hold on we're off again!! Can't believe it's time to go already.


Goodbye Lake Erie.....it's been fun!!




Goodnight Comanche "Pop". Maybe we'll see you again someday!!

They sure surprised me!!
Thanks so much for a GREAT day!!


Hey husband, let's do this kind of stuff more often.......
What's in store after the next 20 years??
I have some good ideas!!
