Oh lordy, the things adults will do for their birthday. Especially if it's their 50th birthday.

Michael and I flew down to SoCal to surprise Dave for his 50th birthday this weekend. It was no ordinary birthday party. It was a themed party - come as your favorite superhero party.

We had various Superman costumes, various Wonder Woman costumes, The Incredible Hulk, Flash, Mr Incredible, Bat Girl, Cat Woman, Mr Bio Degradable, Super Mom, Marge Simpson, even President Barack Obama was tending bar.

Wow, what a beautiful day up here in Seattle today. Since Michael's birthday is next week, I planned a day together for him. He has a love for airplanes.

So I booked a plane ride for us on a Seattle Seaplane that took off from Lake Union. We flew over downtown Seattle, Lake Union, Lake Washington, Puget Sound touring the areas from the sky. I packed a lunch for us for afterwards. So in 80 degree weather, we sat at Gas Works Park, ate lunch, watched the boats, and more seaplanes take off and land in the water, and even took a nap.

The day was clear and sunny with little clouds. We couldn't have asked for a better day today as the forecast calls for rain starting tomorrow for the next 5 days.

He didn't know where we were going. Armed with only knowing a clue that we were going to downtown Seattle, he thought maybe the Victoria Clipper to Vancouver, BC. Then, perhaps the Aquarium to see fish. He even toyed with the idea that it was the Aquatic Duck tour of Seattle.

The surprise was well worth it as he figured it out once we pulled into the parking lot.
