Retropost: Birthday Surprise(s)!

After two lackluster birthdays in a row, Thais decided my 26th would be one to remember - and it was. The festivities began the weekend before, with an overnight trip to Indianapolis. We enjoyed a great dinner and freshly made brews at the Alcatraz brewpub in downtown, then headed over to White River State Park for a relaxing evening listening to folk singer Allison Kraus. The surprises just kept rolling in the days ahead, including a post-softball surprise party at our place - complete with food, drink, friends, and pinata - as well as a delightfully unexpected visit from none other than Ms. Lisa "Caprese" Cockrel.
