the one where i turn 30

Today is my 30th birthday! 

Since my no annual leave time at work started today, 
I celebrated this weekend. 
I think it should be against some sort of law to work on your birthday. ;) 

Here is a recap of the birthday weekend: 
cute birthday weekend mani

Friday: 
D took me to The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah. 
I love all things military and airplanes ... win, win. 

The museum is a smaller one but it is just beautiful. 
The Mighty Eight Air Force was instrumental in WWII. 
It flew missions from London to Germany. 
The had a gorgeous chapel on the grounds made to look like the ones on the English countryside. 

And, of course, there were airplanes. 


The museum is right in our back yard and I had no idea the significance of the Mighty Eighth. 
If you are interested in history at all, 
it is definitely worth at least Googling. 

For lunch, I got Chipotle! 
Then we just went to several stores around Savannah. 
Our last stop was Coldstone Creamery. 
Ice cream is mandatory on a birthday trip. 
We also had to pick up my ice cream cake from Coldstone. 


Saturday: 
Nothing really birthday related happened on Saturday. 
We went to a Couple's Shower for one of D's cousins that is getting married. 
We were supposed to swim all day but it was really rainy. 
{Not complaining though. 
I am the granddaughter of a farmer ... rain is ALWAYS a good thing.} 

Sunday: 
D's put together a birthday lunch for me with his family. 
We had baked ham, Boston butt, baked beans, mac & cheese, bread pudding, 
and the Coldstone ice cream cake. 

Everything was so delicious. 
And I got a lot of really cute presents, 
including a super cute wine glass. 
Even though I do not drink wine, I put it to good use last night. 

We did get to go swimming for a quick minute. 
However, the water was freezing from the cloudy days, cool nights, and rain. 

After work, I get more presents from the Bestie! 
Then D is either cooking me supper at home or 
we will go out somewhere. 

Overall, turning 30 has been just like any other birthday 
and not bad at all. 
I am so blessed to have great friends and family.
