Making a mother's day
Charles and I had something up our sleeves when we took my mom out for lunch for Mother's day. We'd spent the morning talking about our travel plans for the year, which are pretty extensive, if I do say so myself. Charles primed her later, saying, "Well c'mon Diane, we'll show him, we can take a great trip to Pflugerville."
I had to 'take a phone call' to run out to the car to get her gift, and when I finally got to present it to her, she was a bit leery of the whole thing. Charles got it on the camera as she opened it up and she comprehended what it all was. I had found a tourist book of Munich, and put her ticket to go with me to Oktoberfest in the book. Needless to say, she was thrilled at the discovery, and I'm more excited about that trip now as well. The video is below, and if you can stand some of the cheese factor, the 'oh shit' moment on her face is priceless.
What a fantastic present! And to be able to see the happy look on David's face in the video is the icing on the cake. Thank you Charles for making the video, and for sharing so many happy times with me. Thank you David for being the son and the man that you are. I love you both. Mom
