Suprise!!!

Ok, so Dad decided (Mom was in on it too) that he would suprise us. We had no clue what was going on. He just told us to keep Friday open. There were no clues, and no hints. We woke up early this morning and headed to the Prius. Inside on each seat was a "Top Secret" envelope and corn nuts. We also had huge water bottles. Trying to put the clues together, Mariah, Truman, and I had an idea of a road trip but there was nothing else. After driving a couple blocks down Sideburn Road we turned into the Robinson Secondary Parking Lot. By then I was so confused. I had absolutely NO idea what in the world was going on! We parked got out of the car and walked up to the front doors bringing a sign with us. Dad didn't let us read it until we said the pledge, had a moment of silence, and got a picture with it:

The Pledge

The first picture of us with the sign (still not knowing what the suprise is)

See the sign and reaction!

Off on the challenge!!

So now that you know what the suprise was, I need to tell you what the Philly Cheesesteak Challenge is. You usually do it your Senior year of high school but Mariah didn't get to. You leave after the 7:20 bell rings, beginning school, drive up to Philly, eat a cheesesteak there, drive back and get there before the bell rings at 2:05! It was tough but SOOO fun! We went to the traditional place, Pat's King of Steak.

Finally, we arrived!!

Yum!!

We got back 11 minutes before 2:05. What a great day!
