Well, Brian and I slept in again this morning and then went down to have breakfast again in the Garden Cafe in the Hotel. This time, we decided that we would just order off the menu and not do the buffet. Brian had french toast and fruit and I had eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast and orange juice. It was so good. I found a deck of cards that had the Grand America logo on them. I couldn't resist, I had to have them even if they were $10. We collect cards for our Nertz games. We can never have enough decks of cards. After breakfast we decided to walk around the hotel and see the outdoor pool. It was raining this morning, so we couldn't go out and see it, but we saw it from the windows. We packed up all our stuff and put it in the car and then went and checked out. As we were checking out they told us that there was a gift for us before we left. It was a bottle of sparkling Pink Lemonade. Thanks for Brian's compainion, Stephen Holding, for getting us the room for a discounted price and for giving us some gifts. They are so nice to us, that we feel so blessed to have them as great friends. We stopped on our way home to see Brian's mom, who just had surgery on her wrist that she fell and broke last tuesday and then arrived back home at 1:30 pm. Erika had worked hard to get the house all cleaned up for us. She is so sweet. She took care of her little brother while we were gone and the house was still standing and clean when we arrived home. We were glad to be home again. It was fun to get away and be together for our anniversary, but we were also tired and ready to come home. Thanks Brian, mom & dad, Tamra and Scott and Stephen Holding and family for a great couple days for our anniversary celebration.
