| What A Week! |
As most of you know, I was in FL last week and then I met Jeremy in Savannah, GA for a little weekend getaway. It was very nice and I'll pictures will be below. It was so great being back in FL. I feel that it is my "comfort zone" there, and I think it's because I enjoyed living there so much after college. I got to see my auntie and if you're reading this, Auntie, thanks for letting me stay! I took one afternoon and drove to all the spots where Jeremy and I first met (at the beach), the place where we got married, our ugly little house that we first lived in....it was great just going down memory lane even though it wasn't that long ago. It just sometimes feels like it was many years ago but at the same time, it feels just like yesterday. Do you know what I mean?
Our little weekend in Savannah was so interesting. Everything is just so historical. I couldn't get over the houses there....most of them are very old and have many tales to tell I'm sure....if only walls could talk! We went on a ghost tour at night and it was the most interesting time. It was fun walking around the streets hearing the history and ghost tales that were linked to different buildings and areas. Our guide had lived his whole life in Savannah and his family were the fifth generation of Irish settlers to go there, so he definitely knew his stuff. Anyway, I'll leave some pictures for you to see now.
By the way, Bugsy wants you to know that she is feeling better. She has antibiotics in her system and is resting now. She didn't like the doctor putting the thermometer in her butt though, but she knows some things just have to be done! :)
River Street
I absolutely adored this beautiful cathedral.
The stain glass work was amazing! The picture doesn't give it justice.
I couldn't remember what the significance of that bell was, but I'm sure it was something important! :)
City Hall Dome
The old graveyard we visited....aren't those trees so haunting?
This one is for Jay! I know he'll appreciate it the most! Paula Deen's Restaurant!
We were very lucky to get in, the place was packed but it was well worth it. The food was incredible!

Great pictures! I miss Savannah. Hoop and I had so much fun there, besides the mishap at the Alamo Inn.
Do you know who your hubby looks like? I just realized! He looks like an older version of Chelle's son. That's a compliment. Brendan is a cutie.

It's been a while since we were in Savannah but I was just a little disappointed at the Riverfront, I thought there would be more stuff! lol Did you seeeeeeeee the Waving Girl statue??? I LOVED her! I hate to tell this but one time my daughter and I just visited and we went out with Damon's girlfriend. We went to a club there on the Riverfront and just drank toooooo, tooooo much beer! Phew! We were really letting our hair down, because Damon had just been sent to Korea and we were all upset! so we tryed to drown our tears in some beers! Anyway, a woman wanted to beat me up and I can't remember why! Isn't that funny? and Damon's girlfriend drove around and couldn't even find her apartment for some time and Gina got sick! Phew! What a night, we were even stopped by the police but not for drunken driving which they could have arrested us all for! We had a burned out light in the back! I haven't drank much beer since and that's been years ago but that is a Savannah memory! Do they still have Checkers?

It must be great to find a monument older then 100 years in the States... :)
In Portugal we have monuments 1000 years old.
Though those ones are beautiful.
