Weekend

We had a great weekend away with friends. We have been planning this getaway for a few months and couldn't wait to sneak away. We hit the road Friday afternoon after we all piled into my dad's suburbon. The Vandemark's, Breaux's, and Stout's were heading to Nash-phis. The car ride down was full of good belly laughs (Lauren and Leann are funny). When we got to Nashville we had some down time before we went out to Robert's for their famous burgers and even better band. The boys, being musical, love to watch and listen to this band (by the way they have a CD). Me, not being musical don't remember the name of the band, but really enjoyed the company and the food. We had a blast. I enjoy "people watching," we saw all kinds of different outfits and some great tshirts....

We got back to the hotel (free thanks to Dennis) around 11 KY time (late for me) to rest up for golf and shopping in the morning. We were up bright and early to drop the boys off for 18 holes of golf and us girls had some serious deals to shop for. We girls had a blast shopping for Lauren's baby girl and really blew our budget's at GAP. I haven't shopped for a while, so it was AWESOME! The best part was sitting on the patio at Chili's and talking. We snacked on chips and salsa (amazing) and laughed as we told each other stories of growing up and such.

After golf and shopping we piled back into the suburbon and heading to Memphis. The boys have made this same trip before and mapped out the weekend for us. We stayed right on Beale St (Beetle St) and ate at a famous barbeque joint called Rendevous. Our waiter Robert Jr has waited on Justin Timberlake! Everything comes with slaw and beans, served on plastic plates and silverware....you got ribs, pulled pork or chicken....no dessert, just the basics. They were packed and when we walked out the line to get in was down the ally. I enjoyed my meal....gave my beans to Leann....not a big fan. The boys were in "hog heaven!"

After dinner we made our way to BB Kings to find a seat to enjoy the Allstar band. They were incredible....we danced, laughed, and had a blast. The trip was so nice. We needed this time away with our friends. We missed our sweet baby boy, but knew he was happy with Grandma and Grandaddy. It was great for Colin and I, he was really relaxed, in his element. Food and music!! (I forgot my camera in the room each night, so the pix above are from my iphone)

Now we are home preparing for a week of celebrating....Camden is going to be one on Wednesday. Tonight we have our first party with Colin's family. It is going to be so fun. Promise to post pix soon.
