Celebrations - Stephen's Birthday

Our trip to the Phenix City area coincided with a BIG celebration - Stephen's 30th birthday.  I still don't understand how these children grow up to become the age of their parents...how can it be?!

We asked Stephen what was something special that he would like to do...so Friday morning we headed to Atlanta for an overnight trip to the Braves game.  It was a great time as we celebrated...


Yes, he says he is not celebrating any more birthdays, only anniversaries. 


It was a very good night of baseball as the Atlanta Braves began a three game winning streak against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 4-2 win.



And then they even presented a spectacular fireworks show for his birthday - well, a Friday night Publix firework display.

Before the game, we had enjoyed lunch at The Broadway Diner near our hotel where we were staying...a definite place to visit if you are in the area - check out the menu.  Of course, we had to enjoy the traditional hot dog at the ball field...nothing quite like it at the game.

We spent the night at a neat hotel across the street from the Fox Theater.  Saturday we toured the Jimmy Carter Presidental Library, even snapping a photo in the Oval Office.

Great time of Celebration! 
 We treasure these times and will store up the memories
to enjoy in the upcoming years away from family.


We sure do love this "growed up baby boy."
Happy 30th Stephen!
