Luke had Thursday off last week so we headed downtown for some fun. Our first stop was the Clinton Library. We had never been there before and it was really neat! We took some fun pictures and some informational ones too. I loved looking at all the letters in the library to President Clinton. I have always been a fan of his for many reasons. The main one though is because when he was govenor he gave money to start the NICU at Children's Hospital. When I was about 10 years old I gave him an award (mainly because I was one of the premies that didn't have major problems....and I spent a lot of time in that NICU being born 3 1/2 months early at 2lbs!). I even remember what I said, "Govenor Clinton we present this award to you because you're a hero too!" He spent a lot of time that day visiting with Mom and Dad.
After the library Luke and I went to tour the Old State House. I had never been there before either. I also didn't know that at one time it was used for animal and cadaver testing....gross! They had some interesting exhibits there....and best of all...it was free!
After the state house, we headed over to the Flying Fish for lunch. It was SOOOO good! There catfish is wonderful.
We left the flying fish to visit the new Nature Center downtown. It was really neat and informative...and it was free too! We ended our day by getting some dessert at Community Bakery. It was a wonderful day for the two of us!

YOUR MOMMA SAYS:
Yep....you spent your first 10 days at Childrens and if it had NOT been for Mr. Clinton's signing into being the appropriations for Childrens and the NICU, you would have been shipped to Dallas. So we are grateful for his actions! We did spend about 45 minutes visiting with just him; he IS a good guy - he's made mistakes but my gosh WHO HASN'T!!! Wish he was President now....better than what we just had and surely better than what we have now! LOL
I remember the day you gave him the award - you were so nervous and practiced over and over. But Mr. Clinton was very kind and gracious and if I recall, the 2 of you spent time just visiting while on the platform. Daddy and I were so proud!!!!
LOVE YOU MEL! your momma
