June 11 - Ann's 58th birthday celebration.  This was a fun one to plan and execute, and thanks to beautiful weather and Dad's generosity, it worked out perfectly.  I had secretly booked a luxury room at the Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid NY.  Then arranged to swap cars with Dad in Plattsburgh and take a long and winding road up to our secret hideaway in Dad's HondaS2000 sports car.  Surreptitiously I was curious whether Ann might enjoy having such a fun little toy sometime later in our lives, but mostly it seemed like a fun way to spend an afternoon in the mountains.  And it was!  What an amazing car this is; and the mountains were beautiful.  This was followed by a wonderful dinner at the Lodge with Mom and Dad, followed by smores over a fire watching the sunset.  Great day!
