APRIL'S 40TH BIRTHDAY

April decided to bring in the 40's with a calm/quiet scenery. So, on April 15th...instead of driving the four hours that day to "the homestead" in Hot Springs we used Jeff's Marriott points to get a hotel and prance around Harrisonburg for the day. We visited the botanical gardens by the James Madison University. Just Beautiful!! Then we went to a movie at the local theater viewing "the Conspirator" on the anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln. After-wards we went to Outback to have dinner..and Jeff had them sing Happy Birthday to me. We then went back to the hotel and went swimming and sit in the Jacuzzi.

The next morning on my 40th birthday April 16,2011 we got up it was raining....we traveled to the homestead raining the whole time. I took footage of our trip on film. Little did we know that there were Tornado warnings all around us that might explain the creeks that looked like rivers and the high winds...when we had pulled over at the dollar store to get a drink and go the bathroom the ladies in there said,be careful out there!

When we arrived at the homestead the rain had stopped and I couldn't believe my eyes of the wonderful scenery and calmness of the area and saying to Jeff "oh my stars". As soon as we got our room which was jaw dropping the sun starting coming out it felt as though God was giving me a present of my very own on my birthday.

We had an awesome time...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
