Well, Eric and I had the best weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We went to Athens on Friday night and went out to some of our old favorites, and then spent the night at the Foundry Park Inn, which was where we spent our wedding night....that was so sweet of E to book for us! Then Saturday we headed down to Jekyll Island for the second part of our trip, where we got to stay in our free room that E won for us, plus free breakfast in the Grand Dining Room the next morning! When we got down there, it was pouring down rain but made the best of it by doing a little shopping for the girlies, walking on the beach during the 10 minutes it was just sprinkling, and making our way to St. Simons, where we ate at Barbara Jean's (YUMMY!!!) and watched the Braves lose. By the time we got back the rain had stopped so we decided to take a dip in the pool and when we got back to our room there was a bottle of champagne and strawberries from the Jekyll Island Club Hotel for our anniversary!! It was so nice! We went and had a night swim, listening to these 2 guys complain about how there weren't any lights in a pool that was 90 + years old, and then we went and played cards on the porch (and of course, drank our champagne!) Sunday morning we went to the dining room to have our breakfast and since my hubby can't sleep past like 4 in the morning, I needed some caffeine asap, so I ordered a diet coke. It was brought to me on a plate, on a DOILY!! The fanciest diet coke I have ever had! We had a great breakfast of shrimp, spinach, and tomato omelets (Melanie would have loved it!) and then hit the beach and the pool (because the weather was amazingly beautiful) before we had to head home.
Then we get home....we pick the girls up from Mom Mom's house, where we were informed that Melanie learned how to play Go Fish over the weekend. Seems innocent enough....I take the girls home for a bath and Melanie was playing with her foam letters and numbers.....once again, innocent enough......then she takes the number 4, sticks it between her butt cheeks, turns her butt to me and screams out, "Do you have any 4's? GO FISH!!!" Now, mind you, this is my not even 3 year old baby doing this! The only reassuring thing about it was that she knew it was the number 4!!!! We called Mom Mom and she said that yes, she learned how to play Go Fish, but not like that!!! What a crazy kid!!!
E and I had a great weekend, but we missed our babies and are so glad to be back!!! I am listening to them playing downstairs right now....it's the best noise in the world!!
