Happy Day Before Your Birthday!

Craig and I have a corny birthday wish thing that we do...we (more he than me), wish each other a happy day before your birthday or a happy day after your birthday. I told you it was corny! Anyway, this year my husband will turn 40 years old and I've been trying to come up with fun ways to celebrate the days leading up to this monumental occasion. So, since May 5 will mark 4 months before his 40th birthday, I decided a "Happy Four Months Before Your Birthday" celebration was in order. Since the 5th falls in the middle of the week we had to celebrate a few days early!

Can I just stop and say that this is probably one of the only surprises that I have been able to pull off with Craig not finding out where we were going ahead of time? He didn't know where we were going until we were almost there! It was awesome! We left at 7:00 a.m. this past Saturday morning, stopped for breakfast and then traveled 2 1/2 hours to the Chateau Elan to play golf on one of their courses. Pictures will be in the next post, but let me tell you, it was beautiful! I haven't gone golfing with Craig since we were dating. We had the best time. I didn't golf, just rode along, but I did prove to be a pretty useful caddy! He even let me drive the cart a couple of times! We had a great time. He taught me all about the game and the etiquette involved in the game. Who knew that so much went in to playing golf.

We left the course and drove to Atlanta and got checked in to our hotel, then went to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Yum!!! Yes, I took pictures of our food - it seems that, in blogging, that is the new thing to do. Again, pictures in the next post. After dinner, we went to Dave and Busters. If you don't know what Dave and Busters is, let me tell you... it is like Chuck E Cheese on steroids. It is Chuck E Cheese with slot machines. It was so much fun! Craig and I both discovered that I have a little addiction to one of the games - it wasn't pretty. I dropped 15 tokens in about 15 seconds. So much fun!

We spent the night in Atlanta and traveled back yesterday. It really was one of the most enjoyable trips we have had. It is always fun to get away, but this trip was just all about Craig and the kind of things that he likes to do. So, Happy 4 Months Before Your 40th Birthday babe! Glad you had fun!
