Unfortunately, the weather is forecasted for T-Storms this afternoon and there's that haze in the sky, so being out and about isn't gonna be for us today..

Even with the bad weather... my husband took me to see Monsters at the Beach. The best mother's day gift - MONSTER TRUCKS! WOO!

We had a nice relaxing day. Our son called from Arkansas last evening and he's doing well. So that being said, a "nice" relaxing day. :-)

Brunch at Tradewinds was amazing! My father-in-law said that he thought it was better than The Jefferson (in Richmond). I told him that was crazy talk, but it was surprisingly very good. My hubby was amazed by the donut machine and chocolate fountain. And the view was nice too. We will definately be back! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.
