Mother's Day 2018

This year we did not celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, but we celebrated on Saturday, May 12. My sister and I went with my mother to Fayette, Alabama to visit our family's home, which is now the Rose House Inn. The house was built by my great-great grandfather back in the late 1800/early 1900s. My mom has fond memories of visiting her grandmother there when she was little. My grandmother and grandfather were married in the house. Going through the house, I could certainly feel Nannie's presence.

After we toured the house, we strolled around the small town. They were having a fiddling competition with vendors and food near the courthouse. We left Fayette and drove to Tuscaloosa (not too far away) so we could eat lunch at the Cyprus Inn Restaurant. The restaurant has great views of the Black Warrior River. The food was very good.

Of course, we also had to do some shopping. With the little-ones, it's very rare that the three of us get to do something without having a little-one in tow. We had a wonderful day.
