This year, for our 4th anniversary, it was AJ's turn to plan our activity. AJ decided that he was going to do something big because his next "big" anniversary to plan isn't until our 10th. He told me to take Friday and Monday off work and we would go away.
Usually, I am very hard to surprise. Not because I sneak around looking for clues (despite what AJ believes), I'm just a really good guesser. But, impressively, AJ managed to keep our destination, and method of travel, a secret the whole time.
The actual day of our anniversary, I woke up to a gift. A fancy outfit I was told to include in my bag and a packing list. Point AJ. Loved it.
It wasn't until we reached Toronto City Airport and got our tickets that I found out we were jet setting to Quebec City!
We had an amazing 4 days - lots and LOTS of walking, enjoying the sights and the French food. It was like being transported across the ocean and we only had to take an hour and a half flight. And I got to practice my French which was a lot of fun!
