This is what I did the ENTIRE weekend. Sadly, this was the Friday that the world learned Tim Russert passed away. It really made me sad. I spent a large amount of time reading the newspaper (which is not something I get to do often) and also took along two other good reads. I finished all of a great book,
The Yummy Mummy. It was awesome. Also packed
Atonement. Haven't finished it but working on it. Along with
When Crickets Cry which was unreal, a real page turner. So I think I made up for all those times I was reading
Rupunzel and
Strawberry Shortcake. And don't forget
Curious George!
So for my birthday Scott and I enjoyed a nice getaway to Lake Oconee. Had never been before and it was extremely rejuvenating and blissful. We had one dinner reservation and one spa appointment. Other than that, no place to be at any time. Sat. (the real birthday) we read the paper in bed til 9, went for a massage, had lunch at the pool, hung out at pool ALL DAY, layed in a hammock for an hour or so and watched a wedding, showered, then went back down by the pool for a late night supper. Don't worry, we will still in bed by 10 for Dateline. Some habits are hard to break! It was a really good time to be together and have some rest. Lillee Grace and BAxter really enjoyed our getaway as they were able to go to the beach and out in the boat with nana and papa. They don't mind us leaving at all.
Here's a pic of our beautiful, model-like feet. This is a picture we took on our honeymoon seven years ago. It would be interesting to see that picture and how our feet are getting worn and old.
This was Friday night. Got out of the shower to find Scotty sound asleep. I started not to wake him which would have been fine with me. However, I knew how much he was looking forward to a fancy meal. Me? I brought pb&j and cheez-its from Publix. I would have totally been finewith a picnic on the balcony. So, at the end of supper he is still raving about the creme brulee he ate there and the different flavors that "popped" and "crackled" in his mouth. He loves that. I'm glad I woke him up.
After several hours at the pool, I came back to find this waiting. How sweet of dear old Scotty. I think he had a little help from Amy!
he wants this to be his book cover! Crazy. His new Tilley hat I got him from SSI.

I love this! Fabulous place to have a birthday!
What great pictures! I'm so glad you both loved the Ritz, it is one of our favorites, that's for sure! Scott worked really hard for you birthday present to be something special and unforgettable, and I think it looks like he succeeded in his efforts. So, minus the airport mixup in Jax, looks like the entire weekend was one for the books! Happy Birthday darling Jenn!
Causey - Happy Belated B-Day! I hope Scott got you a card filled with confetti!
We love the Ritz at Lake Oconee. Hope ya'll had fun!
