Ben's Birthday 2010, cont.

There was one stipulation for choosing a hotel for Ben's birthday- it must be able to get ESPN 2 so that Ben could watch the Tigers play ball. That was a funny call... "Hello, do you have availability? Okay, does the room have ESPN 2? Yes-I'll take it." Bet they don't get that question very often, lol!

This is the front of the hotel. Isn't this a pretty picture? Ben loves pictures of bridges so it was cool that this was the view from our window.
We had a great dinner at Black Angus before racing back to watch the game. Look at Ben's face, you can just hear him saying "it's my birthday and I'll watch football if I want to." Good thing I love football!

GEAUX TIGERS!

The next morning, we walked around Esther Short Park. This is a cool statue in the park. Someone had placed fresh flowers in his hand.

At the fountain, Ben took up a "statue" pose.

Farmer's Market was going on and everything looked so good. I got some delicious radishes, cabagge, bi-color corn, yellow squash, concord grapes (they were so good!) and

yukon gold and baby red potatoes. Yummy!

Look at this crazy eggplant!

There were beautiful flowers too!

Ben's birthday will continue next weekend when we go fishing. Looking forward to it!
