As a part of our anniversary celebration, I told Nick that I had planned a little surprise for him but that he would have to wait until July 23rd to find out what it was.
Well, low and behold, today was that day.
After work and a lovely dentist appointment, I headed home to get Nick and drive out to the surprise. I had warned him not to get too excited, that it wasn't anything extraordinary, but that it was more of an homage to our first "anniversay" celebration. Nick had taken me out to the Everson Museum in Syracuse to see a movie under the stars, "This Island Earth".
I scoured the internet to find local 'movie under the stars' type venues and came across one in Long Beach that was showing Casablanca.
Nick and I had never seen the film and when we went to our first Hollywood Bowl event, they played the ending of the movie while the orchestra followed along with the music. It was beautiful and seemed like a movie that we would like, so I thought that it was the perfect choice for a little surprise.
Indeed it was. We had a great time and although the process was a little rough around the egdes (technical difficulties, seating arrangements, etc.) it was worth the hour drive to get there.
Also making it totally worth while was the prize that I won from the free
Charter raffle. Actually it was wicked cheesy, but pretty hilarious as well ~_^
By the end of the night I had a whopping headache due to the bad angle that we were viewing from, and I was happy to get in the car and sleep all the way home.
Overall, a sucess.
Here's lookin' at you, kid.
Cheers.
Breezy
