Birmingham

This past Friday, I took the dogs to the kennel, packed all our bags, loaded Garrison in the Land Rover and picked up Will for a surprise overnight trip to Birmingham.  It was the first weekend in 16 weeks that we haven't had something scheduled, and we needed to get out of town as a family!  Once Will got over the shock of not going to Anthony's for dinner (that's what he thought the surprise was), we headed out of town.  We took our time getting to Birmingham.  We ate dinner in Tuscaloosa, and of course got Starbucks.  So by the time we got to Birmingham, it was G's bed time.  Sweet boy slept in the big bed with Mommy and Daddy! 

I made hotel reservations at Ross Bridge, and the pool was awesome.  Garrison loved the "splash pad" part of it, but not the rest of it!  He didn't go in the water past his ankles.  And for as much as he loves the slide at the park, he refused to go down the slide into the pool!  Maybe one day he will! 

We played in the pool Saturday morning, and then ran a few errands.  We ate pizza for lunch, went to a super cool toy store in Homewood, and went to a couple of running stores.  It was wonderful!
