Oh we do them because the kids get so excited and we never tell them where we are going. I love to see the sparkle in their eyes just trying to figure it out. It's like Christmas and opening gifts to me
I know exactly what you mean. 20 years ago I took a fellow that worked for me and his family to the mountains on the spur of the moment. All day his daughter smiled and about all she could say was, "It's beautiful". Made the whole trip worth every minute and penny spent.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.†- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." Stalin
