An Unexpected Surprise

Wow.  The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are looking kind of sad.  Still impressive, but tonight is the night to bid them adieu.  It's time to move on.

Jeremy told me Thursday that the Temple of Artemis would look very different on Friday.  We went up today and yes, it looks very different.  It's amazing what happens when you put pieces together.  Wow.

Our reasoning for going up today- Jeremy called and said he was running out of a certain type of balloon and asked if we could bring some more of it.  He called again before we headed up to tell us that friends of ours who live in Idaho were in town and were coming to see the Wonders.  Woohoo.
These are lifelong friends, the kind that are practically family.  So we got to see them when we got to the museum.

And... we got to run around with them through the dinosaur part of the museum, not just the balloon part.  The kids had so much fun together.

It was such a nice surprise to find out they were around and our schedules did match up to get together.  Love those friends.
