The mother of all Mother's Days

[DJ-S1]

Hi all, just got back from a fun day surprising my wife with her picture in Times Square! One of the Kodak editors, Marianna, was awesome and had the idea to include a leading and trailing slide in the POTD slideshow to personalize it for my wife. How amazing is that?

Here's how it looked:

I decided not to get any "reaction shots", I just enjoyed the moment. She was shocked and loved it, and my boys thought it was pretty cool that their mom got such a big Mother's Day card!

Afterwards we had a wonderful brunch at the NY Marriott Marquis. This restaurant is on the 8th floor, with windows that are just above the Kodak billboard. There was quite a fancy spread, and complimentary champagne for Mom.

On the trip back home, she spent 3 and a half hours on the phone calling all of her friends and our family members. Listening to her say things like "it was the coolest thing ever!" and "I still can't believe he did that for me!" was something I won't soon forget.
