So this past weekend was my birthday getaway/ a marriage retreat though Jeremy's work. I found out this weekend is I am not a "Fancy Nancy". For yall that don't know what Fancy Nancy is, it is this cute childrens' book about a little girl that is always wanting things to be fancy and nice. For yall with little girls, I have these books!
We got to go to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina and stay at the Marriott Resort Hotel. The hotel was very nice right on the beach, even though the only thing you saw from our room was the apartments next to it. Nice hotel but with all that fancy stuff you had to PAY for internet. $13.00 for 24 hours!!! I would have rather go to Best Western and walk the block to the beach and have free internet. Yes, I bought the computer with me on a getaway. I am additied... no not really. I can't sleep at night sometimes espically in hotels so it gives me something to do when I can't sleep. That was the other thing, nice hotel does not mean nice cable. They only had like 20 channels and no TV land or Nick at Nite, or Disney Channel. That is the stuff we normally watch to go to sleep. Anyways, the food was ok. I don't like places where you can't chose what to eat and on the table is like 20 pieces of silverware. Yes I know how you do it, salad fork, dinner, dessert, soup...Yeah I know all that. I just don't like doing it! LOL! Then the food was touching. It was made to look like something on Top Chef or Hell's Kitchen. Mashed potatoes and the gravy on the bottom with the chicken laying on top of it. So you know me I had to pull it apart. Yes and I was sick of water that was all they had to drink, water or tea! So that night we left after the first meeting and went to walmart to get some snacks and coke. Then Saturday we spend all morning in class which was good. It talks about ways to communicate and 5 things for love and such like that. Then that afternoon it is what they call "date night". So knowing us we are not fancy but since it was my birthday and we were on Hilton Head we decide someplace semi-nice. We went to Carrabba's because I LOVE Italian. It was nice. Next to the Carrabba's was a minutura golf place and it looked nice and empty. So we went and played around of golf. It was nice cause we had the place all to our self. And of course we played Deal or No Deal and won Maddie a Spongebob as a gift. That was about it for our weekend.
So yeah it was nice to stay in a 5 star hotel that over looks the ocean but I am a country girl that enjoys cheap and cheaper. So overall it was a fun weekend!
Oh, what did Jeremy get me for my birthday.... Twilight Scence It game, tickets to the movie, and season 2 &4 of Reba! (I already had season 1&3).
Oh and if you have a little girl you must read "Fancy Nancy"!
