Summer Road Trip - first stop…Sparta

We just returned from a wonderful ten day visit back in the Northeast.
Couldn't have asked for more beautiful summer weather.
But it was the company that really made our trip special.
First up was a surprise 70th birthday party for Grandpa Mike!
The night was a big success, and I think every one of us had a great time celebrating.
My father is rarely speechless, but upon seeing high school friends, an army buddy,
former neighbors, friends from his political years
and loved ones who traveled from far and wide,
that's exactly what he was.
We danced, we sang, we visited, and at the end of the evening,
we shared a 45 page memory book that every guest had contributed to.
It is now his most prized possession.
Still waiting on pictures taken by a photographer,
but here are a few I snapped at the end of the party.
 Matt brought sand home from Normandy Beach and 
gave it to my dad this evening
