On April Fool's Day, after we celebrated our Easter morning doing the normal Easter morning activities, we decided to go out and about in Columbus. We wanted to look at a few areas to see where would be a good place for us to set up camp, we wanted to get some food, and we wanted to just spend time together.
After driving around looking at a few places while Charlotte took her morning nap, we went to Cheddar's for lunch. LOVE ME SOME CHEDDAR'S. We used to have one about 20 minutes from my parent's house in Illinois but I haven't eaten there in years. SO, we ate at Cheddar's. The weather was beautiful... sunny and in the 80's... so we sat out on the patio. Charlotte LOVED that.
Reading the menu...trying to figure out what sounds delicious.
She is her mother's daughter. The girl LOVES ketchup. Dip it in ketchup and she will eat it... anything.
My daddy is so funny!! Even when he's trying to wipe my nose.
So serious... in fact, they may be fighting in this picture.
"Who's that?" (She actually says this now. Cracks me up.)
I think Charlotte looks so grown up and pretty in this picture. I love this picture of her.
Cheddar's had a little fountain/pond in the front. Charlotte was looking for "ish" in the "wah-wah".
After lunch, we went shopping for some new shoes for Alex and for some new jammies for Charlotte. Then we drove around some more. We ventured into Phenix City, AL which looked like it might just be the Meth Capital of the World so I told Alex that we will live in Georgia, not Alabama. The reason it's cheaper to live there is obvious. After making it safely back across the Chattahoochee River into Columbus, we enjoyed some ice cream together. It was fabulous.
Then it was back to "the house" where Alex is staying. He lives on Lake Harding so he and Charlotte wanted to play outside by the water.
She wore her new zebra romper...which, in true Walmart fashion, had straps that were too long. it was cute regardless.
She just LOVES playing with her daddy.
The amazing part about the location of this house is that it is on a peninsula on the lake. There is water on three sides of it. This is Alex's boss' front yard. Don't hate.
The girl loves water... any water.
She got in waist deep before Alex could get a good hold on her.
Check her FULL DIAPER
After playing in the water, running around like crazy in the grass, and hearing of neighbors shooting snakes in the water with their shotgun, we went inside the guest house and cleaned up. We got pizza from a place called "The Store" up the road. It's a pizza place/gas station/grocery store/convenience mart. Quite the place. Charlotte was asleep by 8, Alex by 8:15, and me by 9. What a day!!!
The next morning we got up and had breakfast and took our time packing. Charlotte and Alex were enjoying their last morning together for a few weeks.
We loaded up the car and headed to Atlanta. We stopped on the way to eat lunch then headed to the airport. I felt pretty sick all weekend long, so Alex was able to come to the gate with me to help with Charlotte. He hung out with us until the last possible minute. Charlotte and him enjoyed ice cream and walks throughout the airport. What a great weekend we had. It's always hard to say "goodbye". We miss him so much every single day...
