Surprise Trip...New York 2018
We recently went back to the UK for Caroline and Graeme's wedding as well as a holiday, visiting family and places during our time there. Cerys thought that once our time up in Scotland had arrived we were to go on our way back home to Australia!!, but in true mum and dad fashion we decided to surprise the girls (with a bit of disappointment Jodie had to be told of this surprise before due to University) with another adventure before returning home.
For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to go to New York, that was a dream of my dad's too which had now passed down to Cerys, so we decided as we were going on a long journey back to Scotland we would come home via New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles as this would probably be the last big holiday we would take as a family of four, (Jodie turning 20 this year) we decided to splurge and make it a dream trip.
Jodie came up with a great idea as to how we were going to give Cerys the exciting news, something in the fashion of Charlie and the chocolate factory 'golden' type ticket hidden in a bar of chocolate, see photos below.
We planned to give her the chocolate bar the night before our flight to New York...her face and reaction was priceless 😀...
Our last evening in Aberdeen before leaving for New York was 1st May.
It was a bit of a challenge to get her to open the chocolate as she had not long eaten and wasn't hungry, she wanted to leave it until the flight 'home' tomorrow!!
Not sure what was happening!
It finally dawns on her....
....We are going to New York!!
So excited!
Catching her breath.
