Today was my birthday tea!! We went to a tea room in Jacksonville since my favorite tea room closed in December. We have been to this tea room a few times before and always had outstanding service and a great time so we decided to go to this tea room for my birthday tea. Boy was that a mistake! :-) The morning started off well...we had a nice hour and a half drive to Jacksonville chatting and laughing and having a good time. The requirement that I asked of everyone was that they wear tea hats. Not everyone was pleased with my request but everyone went along with it for me. :-) We got to the Tea Room and when we were about to be seated they informed us that we'd be seated at two different tables. I asked if we could move the tables together and we were told that it was not allowed. WHAT??? Why would I only want to sit with only half of my friends????? Ugh. So, four of us sat at one table and three of us sat at another table. :-( The service was incredibly slow...tea service usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half...today it took us three hours to get through our tea service! After we were all done eating we decided to be rebellious and we finally got the nerve to slide our tables together so that I could open my gifts from my lovely girlies. My wonderful friends gave me some fabulous gifts!! After I opened my gifts from them I passed out the little favor bags I'd made for everyone
and then it was time to go. The drive back home was just as fun as the drive there with everyone chatting and laughing. So, even though the service at our Tea Room today was awful my friends still made it a wonderful birthday celebration for me! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with my special friends celebrating my special day! :-)
