We briefly mentioned that we were in Florida to celebrate Doug and Marilyn's 30th wedding anniversary. Doug has been planning this surprise trip for Marilyn for the past two years and we as a family started meeting a year ago to arrange the details. we managed to keep this secret from Marilyn although there were many close calls. As the trip drew closer we began to dread being around Marilyn for fear of blowing the largest secret we have ever been entrusted to keep.
On Sunday night Doug had a surprise party for Marilyn where Mike and Lauren had put together a tribute to her with pictures and videos of their thirty years of marriage. That night he told her they were going on a trip south. Then that Thursday Doug flew all of us kids to Florida and we surprised Marilyn at the Grand Floridian resort where Doug and Marilyn renewed their wedding vows. We then spent three days in Disney world and two days down at the beach in Jupiter. It was a great trip and we came home with lots of good memories.
Doug and Marilyn we love you both and you are an inspiration to us.
Thomas and Jennifer

"The Amazing Story" is right. I wish I could have seen Marilyn's face when she showed up at the Grand Floridian and saw all of you guys. I bet she was pretty shell-shocked.
I hope Ethan did OK on the flight and at the park. Sounds like you guys had a blast. Not as much fun as us though - we got to play with Bentley for a week! Yeah!
