Weekend Getaway

Saturday was Grandpa Bud's 55th birthday. Daniel and I wanted to make it special for him, so we decided to kidnap him for a weekend getaway. Daniel's dad has a timeshare in Villa Rica on Lake Tara near Atlanta. He had the whole week from Friday to Friday, but we don't have the liberty to take a whole week, so we just wisked Bud away for the weekend. He was totally surprised and loved it! He said over and over that this was the best birthday ever. I am so glad that he had a good time. The 5 of us, Grandpa Bud, Grandma, Daniel, Taylor, and me headed up to Lake Tara on Friday afternoon and had dinner on the way in Columbus. On Saturday we enjoyed the day at the Georgia Aquarium. Taylor LOVED it! It was especially wonderful to see the beauty of God's creation through the eyes of a child. I think her favorite part was the big wall of fish. There were so many different shapes, sizes and colors. God truly is awesome and creative. Unfortunately we forgot to take our camera to the aquarium, but we got some pictures on Grandma's camera. I will post those as soon as we get copies.

That was really nice of Ron to let you use the timeshare! What a fun event! Looking forward to seeing pics when you get them. I can't believe you forgot your camera! That would be a sin in our house! ;-)
