Surprise Birthday/Getaway/Honeymoon ...

The point is: Matt orchestrated a weekend retreat to Orcas Island in March. He was very mysterious about where they were headed and didn't even divulge the fact that they would be riding a ferry until they were sitting in the ferry holding area! (Andrea is one of those kind of people that gets motion-sick just thinking about the ferry ... and to make matters worse it was not a calm day at sea!) She also wasn't informed that she would need a jacket - and therefore didn't bring one. All complaining aside - they had a FANTASTIC weekend at this cute little Bed 'n' Breakfast on Orcas Island. As you may or may not know - Andrea is quite amiable and very endearing, after spending a little time chatting it up with the proprietor they were offered the opportunity to sub for some vacation time and one day maybe inherit the business (much to Matt's chagrin)!

Happy Birthday Andrea!
Congratulations!!
and BIG points to Matt!!

This is another of Matt's favorite pictures of his beautiful bride!

Patiently waiting for the ferry!
