I had the shock of my life on Valentine's Day. Since it was DH's first actual weekend off since December, I slept in and he appeared at 10:30 to tell me he'd put the dog in the kennel for the weekend and we were going to Little Rock to shop, and we should pack an overnight bag in case we had to stay overnight due to snow in the forecast.
I got upset about the dog part, so I made him tell me what he was really up to. He had booked us overnight for a Valentine's package at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock, and it was charming. We got to see the ducks parade from the fountain to the elevator in the lobby, had drinks in the bar, champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries in our room, and turndown service with fluffy Frette robes and roses and chocolates on the bed. We ordered dinner from room service and lounged under the duvet--watching "Most Extreme Elimination" on Spike TV in bed and laughing our heads off. I was totally blown away as it's totally out of character for him to plan something like this. (Until I found out that his nurses had put him up to it...)
Did anyone else get a surprise?

But your day sounded great, I hope some day nurses will put dh up to something like that.
. Around here, dh had a date with the hospital - he was on call from sat. morning until sun afternoon 
. But he did get points for taking me out the night before - we got a sitter and went to a really nice restaurant, then came back home where I surprised him with baked alaska for desert and we ate it by candle light after we put the kids down.
