Whew! We had a busy weekend but it was a lot of fun. Matt took Friday off and we went to Mobile, Alabama (said it your best southern accent) for the night. We went their children's science museum, the Exploreum, first thing in the morning. They had a couple of neat exhibits and thankfully it wasn't crowded. Next, we went to Bellingrath Gardens. Holy smokes, the best garden/arboretum I've been too! It didn't hurt that it was one of the best days to go. The weather was perfect and with spring here the flowers were in full bloom. We just did a lot of walking and enjoyed the beautiful day. Here's some of our pictures. I spared you from all of my flower pictures (I took a lot) but I did share a few of my favorites.
On Saturday morning, we headed out to the battleship USS Alabama. It was interesting to see the ship. It made me really appreciate not ever having to work on one! They also had a submarine you could tour on. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to work on one of those either! Anybody bigger than Sydney-size is too big for a submarine. Here is Matt and Syd in front of the guns.
Here's where our personalities and interests differ. Matt at the guns:
Me in the kitchen:
Look at these professional, industrial mixer! Think of all the cupcakes you could beat at once! : ) They did have to feed 2500 men on board.
Then we went straight from the battleship back to our college friend's house to watch A&M lose to UConn. And when I say lose, I mean lose bad. Next, I dropped Matt and Syd at home and went to a Mom's night out with some friends from church. It's always nice to get out and about with friends. Sunday was church, lunch with friends, family nap time (much needed!), grocery shopping, yard work, and excerising . Exhausting! We really had a great weekend though!

Looks fun. I am surprised Mobile was such a good destination holiday. What about the flying rolls???
Very great pictures Becky! I love taking photos of flowers! Looks like you had a great time.
That's so funny! My family and I went to Bellingrath and the USS Alabama a couple of times when I was a kid. Some things never change.
Hey Becky, this is Sonia. We used to live in the same neighborhood in West Melbourne.I hope you remember me and Mia and Marc( Daniels). Anyway, I love your blog and Sidney got so big and she is gorgeous! Her hair is so long now! I have a page in Facebook. If you search my full name, Sonia Daniels Tegon, you should find me easily. You guys just look great. Where are you stationed right now? We are in DC but we'll be moving in Tampa by Nov. Get in touch!
SONIA!!! I was literally just thinking of you yesterday and seeing if I still had your email address. I am in need of an Italian translator and you are the first person to pop into my head. I hope Mia is doing great. I'm sure she is so big and she has long curly hair. : ) I'm not on facebook - I'm very behind the times!
It is very easy to create a facebook account. I did it because allows me to stay in touch and share pics with people who live far away. And I like the privacy settings. Mia is grown quite a bit. She looks like a 3 years old but she acts her age, which is 23 months. I always remember Sidney and how advance she was at 18 months! Mia's hair is actually growning very slowly and it is curly on the back but almost straight on the top! Not sure what is going on ahhhahh...Right now she speaks 3 languages: English,Italian, and "I have no clue what you are saying" lol.
Sure I can translate for you.
Talk to you soon.
Have a great day
Sonia
That is one giant mixer. You could make some mad cupcakes with that. ! LOL
