Wayne had a special birthday last month.  One with a big fat zero in it.  He kind of hates to think of himself as getting older and in order to cheer him up I held a surprise birthday party for him with family and friends.  (The party included a Marilyn Monroe look-alike jumping out of a cake.)

My gift to Wayne is a Mediterranean cruise to the Greek islands, a trip he’s been wanting to take for years.  And so the adventure begins.  Wayne and I leave this Sunday, Father’s Day (that’s a 2fer for sure, birthday and Father’s Day!) for Rome and then on to Florence and Venice before we board the cruise ship.  I’ll be sending messages along the way, and photos too.
