Birthday Milkshakes

Today I drove up to Owensboro and spent the day with my grandparents for my grandfather's 85th birthday. As soon as I pulled into the driveway, my grandfather ran outside to see my new (well, new to me) car and show me his tomato plants. I just love this man. I told him I would take him anywhere he wanted for his birthday lunch. His request was a spicy chicken sandwich and a vanilla milkshake. Then I helped them pack for their trip to D.C. They leave in the morning with my mom, uncle & aunt on a birthday quest to take him to see the WWII memorial there. We figured up at dinner that it has been about 45 years since just the five of them have taken a road trip together! So glad I got to spend today with them.
