Mini-Cation

Fridays are always busy and this one was no exception.

The boys had school, and they had a great day. It was show and tell for John Michael. He had to take something important to him that started with an A, B, C, D or E. He chose his BatPhone. He thought about a Batman, but Danny told him he bet other boys would take a Batman. So he picked his Batphone that was custom made for him by Deborah, and he loves. His whole class liked it, especially the boys! Danny said it was a great day and that he had a good time, but also had homework. There are no free days in third grade.

The boys were excited to be going to Nana's house to spend the night. Brandon and I have a wedding in Decatur Saturday so we are headed up tonight, so we do not have to be on the road all day tomorrow. We were excited about a mini vacation.

We headed up to Decatur and started with finding our hotel. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, which I was able to get at an amazing price on the night through Priceline.com. I am all about deals and this was definitely a good one. The room was very nice, so we got everything inside and headed out to dinner.

We chose O'Charleys mainly because there is not one in Birmingham anymore. It was delicious. Then we headed back to the hotel and enjoyed some time in the hot tub. They also had an indoor pool, but my shoulder has been killing me and I was hoping that a few minutes in the hot tub would help. It did help some.

Well, I miss the boys like I always do when they are not with me, but we have had a great Friday and I know that they are having fun with their Nana!
