Weekend Away.

This past weekend Mike had to work out of town so Griffin and I decided we would visit him and enjoy a little mini retreat with him.

When we arrived in town (after driving three hours) Mike was still working so we had planned to visit The Science Center in Danville.


The Science Center is a fantastic place for children to learn about various subjects. One of the new exhibits is this planet Earth. It's kind of like a movie screen in the shape of earth and it changes as the speaker is talking. It's amazing.


On this visit they were also hosting a taxidermy program.


My favorite was the butterflies.


Of course Griffin liked the beetles & bugs.


His favorite exhibit was the skeletons of course ... especially this snake!


We enjoyed a Dr. Suess moment when he discovered a fox on a box.


Seeing the different types of owls was very interesting ...

After our trip to The Science Center we went to the hotel and Mike arrived shortly after.


Mike has been very sick for over a week now and we just wanted to show him as much TLC as possible.

We decided to get Japanese take-out for dinner and it was delicious! The restaurant is called Bentto's and if you are ever in Danville you MUST go! Double yum!

Mike and Griffin snuggled in the "Daddy Chair" and I on the couch as we watched Men In Black.

It was truly wonderful to enjoy a nice little get-a-way with my boys.

  1. The science center trip looked awesome. The bugs and butterfly displays look just like the ones they used to have at Cypress Gardens. And it was good that you got to spend some time with Mike and give him lots of TLC.
