As you may remember from this post, my gift to Jamieson for his birthday this year was two tickets to a Tigers game in Detroit this past weekend. What some of you may not know, because I couldn't blog about it and risk the birthday boy seeing it, is that for months now I've planned to have Jamieson's friends and both of our families surprise him by also making the trip to Detroit and going to the game with us!
When we were settled into our hotel room, I 'arranged for a cab' to pick us up in front of the hotel. Shortly thereafter, my mother, AKA the cab driver, called me to tell me that everyone was ready and for us to come downstairs. When we got down there, Jamers did not see a cab waiting, but he did see this:
And this was the look on his face!
So, we all boarded the bus and headed to dinner at Red Smoke Barbeque where we enjoyed hearty helpings of ribs, pulled pork, mac 'n cheese and jalepeno cornbread!
After that we headed to Comerica Park where the Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians! We had a great time, despite the fact that it poured down rain half way through the second inning!
The rain was a little unexpected if you couldn't tell by the look on my face, but in the end it made for some great memories.
We ended the night at a casino where Jamers did not win anything, but a couple of his friends did, so that was cool. We headed to the hotel after that and fell asleep instantly, as we were so tired from all the fun we had!
Jamieson said it was the best birthday he's ever had which made all of the hard work that went into planning the event totally worth it.
Until next time!
