Drew's birthday is July 18. We had been talking about going away for the weekend, but then he had some big project rolling out at work and was going to be busy and couldn't take time off. So- I took it upon myself to book a night at the Omni Championsgate in Orlando and surprise Drew with a weekend away before his birthday. I had everything packed and ready so when we got up Saturday morning, I told him to get dressed and let's go! :)
When I made the reservation online, I mentioned in the comment box that we were coming for his birthday and that it was a surprise, hoping they wouldn't call the house and then he find out. When we got there to check in, they said, "Oh, we see you're here for your birthday. We upgraded you to better view room at no charge." Nice! I LOVE the Omni!

The view from our room- golf course, pool and lazy river
Heading in from our time at the pool- aren't they cute with their towels wrapped like daddy's?
When we got back in the room, there was a birthday cake and card from the hotel!
We went to Disney Boardwalk and had dinner at ESPN Zone. The boys saw some other kids with Mickey ears and HAD to have them! We figure we'll take them with us next time we go to Disney Marketplace and get their names stitched on the back!
Looking at the map... my kids seem to be infatuated with maps! If there's a map, they'll be looking at it!
It only took like 10 shots to get one of Ethan without his eyes closed... he's just like his dad when it comes to taking pictures! :)
Sunday morning, our friend Kurt drove over... I had made a tee time for them to play a round of golf. Surprise again! :) It was great because when we got there the day before, Drew was saying how he'd love to play golf again soon and made a comment about having his clubs in the car (but he forgot we had the truck, not his car). Even still... they weren't in his car because Kurt had them to bring over with him! While the guys played golf, I stayed in the room with the boys and Kurt's daughter, Megan watching movies until we had to check out. Then we headed down to the pool!
Happy Birthday, honey! Hope you had a great weekend! :)

What a sweet wife you are! I will keep that place in mind, great customer service! Happy Birthday Drew!!
Happy Birthday, Drew! I've gotta hand it to you, Kristine, I'm not sure I could have pulled something like that off (although, I should probably try!). I can't believe how big the boys are. We're coming for a visit in August (6th-10th), so hopefully we'll get to see you then. I'm bringing the kids by myself....this should be interesting!

Jenni- Thanks... I try! Definitely check out the Omni Championsgate if going to Orlando! Nice place and LOVE the lazy river! :)
Val- I wasn't too sure if I was going to be able to pull it off , but everything went as planned and he had no idea! I can't believe how fast they're growing either- time goes by way too fast! Can't wait to see you this week- have a safe trip here. Hope the kids cooperate for you!!! :)
