Everybody enjoyed their meal and then, we were off to see the lighting of the tree. When we passed the bank (on foot), it said that the current temperature was 21!!!!!!!! We were bundled up to the max and once we got to the capitol, the body warmth radiating around us was quite comforting. By the time we got inside the capitol building, we were sweating (well, at least I know I was, but I was carrying an extra 20 pounds)!!
Do you like Rob's warm hat? His crafty wife made it for him ;o)
These pictures don't even come close to describing the amazing experience!
As we were watching the fireworks, Sherry and I agreed that we had never seen fireworks in the winter before. It was an amazing sight!
Governor Jennifer Granholm's office - it's still undetermined on whether or not she was in the building!
The House
One of the many chandeliers
Sir Isaac
Me and The Miss
Isaac snapped this picture of the ornate detailing on the walls
He took this one too...
For some reason, this picture caught his eye - President Ford
The next morning we watch Rob as he opened the bike rack that he wanted for his birthday!
Irelynn helping open the card (looking for money???)
Isaac cheesing it up for the camera!
We were then planning on having brunch at a restaurant in Jackson, but they closed at noon (and we didn't get up until 10 - we stayed up until 2:30 talking the night before), so we headed over to the Cracker Barrel and enjoyed a lovely breakfast there!Irelynn learned how to drink a few weeks ago when I brought a to-go cup home from work with a pink straw in it. I caught her in action this weekend!
She really enjoyed the grits for brunch!
Rob and his mom!
Isaac and his grandma!
Grandma Sherry trying to get some kisses in...
Isaac checked out the rocking chairs outside - they were comfy!
Isaac and his Grandpa John - talkin' about this years' crop!
Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!
