In honor of this weekend’s festivities, GVOYW- The time I surprised Wig in Vegas edition.

In 2007, the planets were aligning for the Las Vegas trip we had all dreamt of since we learned to count to 21. I was turning the magic age, Wig was graduating from college, and everyone else probably had some celebratory excuses too.

Only one problem, though; at the time, I didn’t fly in airplanes, so I had to tell Wig I couldn’t go. He wasn’t happy with me, but the trip was still planned.

A few days before they were to leave, though, I decided I couldn’t miss the shenanigans. I had a yard sale to get some extra cash, loaded up the car and headed west.

1,200 miles later, I was there.

I didn’t tell Wig I was going and made plans to be at the airport when they landed. I got the moment on video.

It was a top-5 week of my life, no doubt.

Edit: Nathan, is that you laughing like an idiot in the background?
