a night out and a birthday!

Saturday evening we took Matthew over to stay with Granny and Pappy and we headed to Nashville!

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel!

We were on the very top floor!  It is also a secured floor so you have to use your key in the elevator to even push the button for the floor!  How cool!  Of course when the lady told us this we werent really listening so we did spend like 5 minutes in the elevator with the doors closed and it not going any where before it dawned on us!! LOL

Our view of downtown from the room.  That’s the Bridgestone right there!

Jeff reading the room service stuff!

We went out and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.  Then we walked up and down Broadway watching people and just enjoying the evening!

Good morning Nashville!  And happy birthday Jeff!

Enjoying a birthday breakfast!

When we got in the car Jeff showed me his shoe.  It had broke the night before when walking around.  Sure enough he was missing a big chunk!  Looks like some new ones is in order!  hahaha

We stopped by the Parthenon since was just down the road.  Jeff said he had never been to see it!

Then we made it in time for lunch with Matthew, Granny and Pappy at mexican!  Jeff got the special birthday singing and sombrero!

After lunch it was a full day spent outdoors.  Jeff played on the tractor leveling gravel, Matt spent most of the day in a pile of dirt and I successfully removed every window and screen and cleaned them and then put them back!  Whew! 

Before bed we sang to dad and cut into the yummy Reese’s ice cream cake that he had picked out!IMG_4390 logo

A fantastic night out followed by a nice day getting some things accomplished!  Happy Birthday Babe!  We love you!

bounce bounce bounce

Friday we met Christy, Luke and Evelyn at Bounce U to run off some energy!

These boys must have been up and down this slide a hundred times!

And this little girl walked all over the place! Her little legs were going nonstop

they found a friend to slide with

Then they found another friend to slide with

After a couple hours of bouncing we checked out Toot’s for lunch and ran into Rachel and her boys. We grabbed an isolated booth and all sat together! Matt fell asleep on the way home and while he was napping I was able to sneak in a little nap too! What a great day!
