<p>It was just like old times together, and they bent over backwards to show us a fantastic time. For months Kevin and I thought it&#8217;d just be the four of us, but a familiar face walked into our karaoke room the second night there, pretending to have accidentally walked into the wrong place! We were completely surprised! It was our friend Matt, who BTB readers might know as Chocobuns, the frequent and hysterical commenter, who&#8217;s even more hilarious in person. The week wouldn&#8217;t have been the same without him. Here&#8217;s pretty much how it went:</p>

<p>We did a lot more than that, and there are more photos in the gallery. Not much else to say except that the week was absolutely perfect.</p>
