A bonus visit

My brother Matthew is in the Atlanta area for business and so yesterday we packed the kids in the car and told them we were going on a mystery trip.  They were totally in the dark until we had parked in front of a hotel and they saw Uncle Mattie walking out of the hotel.  It was definitely worth the secret scheming to see the looks on their faces!  We had a wonderful dinner and visit with Matthew...it was nice to have even a little 'bonus' time with my brother.

 Sorry that we all look a little freaky in this picture, but at least we have proof that we were together! :)
