Well Sy has conjured up some kind of plan and it’s got me stumped. Although I really do love surprises, especially when they involve traveling to an unknown destination, his lack of “good” clues has left me guessing. So I figured I would just share with all of you and let you in on some of the fun.
Hints (Although, some of them I’m not entirely sure if it’s actually a clue or just throwing me off):
- Date: February 11th (Saturday)
- Outside event.
- Will be gone from 11am to 7pm
- It may take me an hour to get ready (to get ready to go to an unknown place).
- Location: A place we have both been, but not together… so I’m guessing it is somewhere in East Texas. Maybe Henderson, Sulphur Springs area.
- Location is closer to “a border” than we are now. (This is a great hint, it could be in any direction. Closer to Mexico, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana. Helpful.)
- My shoes will not get dirty.
- He was trying to get some kind of t-shirt to wear to this event that would be “the cherry on top” but he can’t find the shirt. The shirt would’ve also given away the surprise, apparently.
- I believe this is a one time event / thing that we are attending.
- I may need to paint my face or put on temporary tattoos. (This obviously isn’t going to happen. This is also the hint that I’m not so sure it’s true.)
- People will be dressed up “all crazy”.
- He needed to make a reservation.
- I’m going to think this is a 12 on a scale of 1-10. (Even after all the hype.)
My guesses:
- Not pig hunting (obviously out of the question if my shoes will not be getting dirty).
- Not jumping out of a plane or off a bridge (because I said so).
- Horseback riding?
- A reenactment?
- There’s a town called “Diana” in East Texas that I’ve wanted to check out for obvious reasons but you don’t really need to make a reservation for that (or paint your face among other hints).
- Mardi Gras is coming up but …. I’m not so sure.
- Bringing me to meet Mike Modano or Ron Washington (definitely above a 10 on the scale).
I find most ridiculous things to be down right interesting and awesome so there is really no telling what this could be. So if you feel like having a little fun, leave a comment with your guess or guesses. I’ll let you know what the surprise was on Monday!
