Mum's birthday is May 3rd, but Spring Break in Georgia was the first week of April so John, Karen, Stephen and Emily drove over Saturday and we celebrated her 80th birthday a bit early! We started Saturday lunch at Superior Grill with Curt and Lisa while we waited for the out-of-towners to roll in. Afterward, we checked into Margaritaville Resort & Casino where we had a nice view of the river again. Everyone showed up a little later in the evening - our Georgia family and Maggie and Kate from Dallas. We had a wonderful weekend of family, friends, food and fun! We ate, oh, my did we eat! Some of the weekend events were walking, shopping, trolley riding, movie watching, bowling, gambling, IMAX, shooting bottles on the rooftop, pool side relaxing, visiting, laughing, and eating! The weather was absolutely perfect and the celebration was great! Who knows what we'll do on her actual birthday!!
