On Friday, just after we got into our hotel room (room 2125), Glenn took his first steps!!! He watched Simon run around like a wild man and just decided to give it a try. Yay!! (Coincidentally, I took my first steps while on 'vacation', too. We were in Virginia celebrating my first birthday with Mom's extended family.)
Saturday, Glenn slept in.
After breakfast, we all piled into the Pilot and set out for The Parthenon. I turned on the vents in the back, so that Ted and Ethan could get some air, and this is what happened.
Crazy hair!
The Parthenon is a full-scale model (?) of the original Parthenon in Greece. We couldn't take any pictures until we got to Athena's floor, for some unknown reason. Anyhow, she's almost 42 feet tall. The last time I saw her, I was in Nashville with my Mom and she (Athena) was getting a major make-over for the Parthenon's Nashville 100 year anniversary.

A nice family shot.

Athena's holding Nike, Goddess of Victory (not shoes, as some kid said while we were there.)
Athena's shield
A Gryphon. I just thought he was neat.

Another nice family shot. Notice Simon trying to escape...
The guys at the front
Apparently, we wore Scott out.
And Ethan. Ted's the only real trooper.
We ate lunch at The Rainforest Cafe at the Opry Mills Mall. Simon wasn't thrilled about the "thunder storms" inside, but Glenn liked them.
There wasn't a race on the tv, but the boys sacked out in the hotel anyhow. I went swimming (there'll probably never be a picture of that!)
