Birmingham Trip

Mom and I decided to get my Mamaw out of the house and go on a weekend trip to Birmingham.  I wanted to go to one of the Robert Trent Jones Golf resorts because it is really a resort and really NICE.  We wanted to give her a nice time at an awesome hotel.  We went to the Ross Bridge Resort in Hoover outside of Birmingham.  We had an awesome lunch at the Clubhouse resturant, then we went to pool, and the HUGE Riverchase Galleria Mall.  It has a hotel attached and is the biggest mall I have been to in this area.  I could have done some damage to the bank account, but I didn't buy one thing...which for those that know me that is surprising.  Chase got to ride the carousel twice...rode the frog and the elephant and my mom got suckered into Build-a-Bear.  He made an Elephant and named it Joppa from his Jonah and the Whale story.   We ate at California Pizza Kitchen and found the Krispy Kreme.  I need to go to the gym tonight, but am trying to talk myself into it.    Tomorrow we plan to eat at the buffet for breakfast, spend the morning at the pool, and then MAYBE go to Alabama Adventure.  We have some BOGO coupons and Chase is free.
