my birthday

Chip had to go out of town on my birthday to a place in AR that I wanted to visit. So, the kids and I piled in his truck and went with him. Before we left he gave me an orchid plant for my bathroom. I have always wanted one of these. He made a mental note a few weeks ago when I subtly commented on it at Lowes.


The first day while Chip was at his meeting we all napped and then the kids swam in the pool at the hotel.


The next day Chip had some paper work to finish with a Fire Marshall. He was so great. He invited us all in to his office while they worked. Then he showed us around a botanical garden and new museum being built in North AR. He even snapped this family picture for us. It was a great little getaway.
