After we got pretty much moved in, we were "itching" for some relaxing time. We decided to drive over to Savannah (two hours away) for a couple of days. Savannah is one of our favorite cities...there's alot of history, beautiful architecture, and culture. We stayed right in a hotel downtown...steps from the Riverwalk and it was so convenient. I can't wait to go back!
We tried both days to eat at The Lady and Sons, but goodness that place is crazy! Even during the week. When I take my mom over in the fall, we'll make it a point to eat there no matter what. She loves Paula Deen just as much, if not more than I do.
So since we couldn't eat at The Lady and Sons, we decided upon Outback...we are such creatures of habit! Well at least the male portion of my family is! I wanted to try something new and non-chain, and specific to Savannah, but oh well. Jonathan LOVES Outback so it made his evening.
There are two great candy stores right on the main drag in Savannah. We went into one, can't remember the name...it's good, but not our favorite...you'll see our favorite in a minute. :) But this one has alot more "kid" candy. The boys always asks for these lolipops and they only get them on vacation so they were a treat for them.
This guy was so funny! He was a peddler that played the trumpet. He could really play! It was so entertaining to sit outside with a cool breeze and listen. It was cute...he played "Name that Tune" with kid songs and had the kids guess.
We really wanted to do a ghost tour...they tour in these old, altered herses, but we didn't get a chance. Next time. :)
Seth got tired.
Now here is our favorite place! Oh. My. Gosh. FABULOUS candy...like I would drive over to Savannah JUST to get this candy! They make their own turtles and pralines. Wish I had one of each right now!
The next day we went over to Tybee Island. The boys loved being on the beach. Tybee Island is on the Atlantic coast about 15 miles from Savannah. We are going to rent a condo there next summer and invite family to come with us.
