A day in Savannah

This past weekend Billy and I woke up knowing we just didn’t want to stick around town. Saturday, June 27, had marked our 1 year “anniversary” to the first day we actually met for a lunch date face to face after emailing for about 5 weeks prior. By the way, we both left that lunch date knowing we would eventually marry and 5 months later as you all know, we did! God is so good. Here's Billy on another improptu interview, he sure does love me to put up with all my interviewing!

Isn't he the cutest!? :-)

Anyway, we thought about going to Orlando for the day and decided Savannah would be better! Sad to say, neither of us had been there to visit. Pure *shock* if you grew up in the south. I’ve driven through countless times on numerous trips but never stopped to take in the beauty of Savannah and I’m so glad we did! It is such a beautiful place to spend a Saturday. Although, I must admit that a visit in June wasn’t our brightest idea! We walked all over the city (who needs those carriage rides anyway!?) and it was at least 99 degrees that day. Needless, to say though it was a blast!

We have not perfected the self portrait...in due time.

My personal goal was to have some of Paula Deen’s yummy food at her oh so popular restaurant, Lady and Sons , and I wasn’t disappointed! When we got there the sign said that they were booked for lunch and dinner, I was crushed! Booked? What?? Billy went up and talked to the hostess and asked her if there was any way that she could fit just the two of us in and she gave him the golden ticket (actually it was blue). =) Straight up to the 3rd floor we went. The place was crowded with people eating lunch and everyone looked happy! How couldn’t they be happy? They were eating Paula’s food. It’s probably a heart attack waiting to happen but it’s a southern gals dream. I do recommend the lunch buffet filled with fried chicken, ribs, baked chicken, Mac & cheese and numerous southern styled veggies. We both ate for under $35 – not bad for a hot spot!

After lunch we walked and walked some more. I’ve been on the hunt for “the perfect” pictures for our bedroom. To no avail a lovely boutique had just what I was looking for! I was excited to have found the perfect pieces to make our bedroom a little more complete. Decorating a home is exhausting (but fun)!
How cute is this little old lady!? I want to dress like that when I'm "old"! :-)

We ended the day with several cold bottles of water on the drive home and were happy to have had the time to get away and enjoy Savannah together. I love getting away for the day with my best friend, what could be better!? We’re hoping to go back in the Fall once the weather is a bit cooler.
