1st Anniversary Weekend Trip

Next Sunday will be our first anniversary! I can't believe that we have been married for a year! It has gone by so fast. Next weekend, Kevin's family leaves for a week at Edisto Beach, so we couldn't go out of town on our actual anniversary, so we went this weekend. We wanted to do something special since it was our first anniversary, so we chose to go to Savannah, GA. We left Friday at 6:30 am and headed on our way. We left so early, because we wanted to find our hotel, then we wanted to spend the day on Tybee Island, GA. Neither one of us had been to Tybee Island before. It was a really nice, clean, family beach! We were both impressed with it. We both would like to come and stay at that beach sometime. We stayed at the beach just driving and walking around until sometime after lunch. We couldn't get in our room until after 3:00 pm in Savannah. Then we headed back. After checking in, we both took a long nap, I was tired after getting up so early. Friday night, we walked around River Street and ate dinner at Dockside Restaurant. It was very, very good! Then we were entertained by some of the musicians walking around River Street. We stayed at the Ballastone Inn, which is a bed and breakfast. Saturday, we had a delicious breakfast of fancy little orange tasting pancakes with powder sugar on top with scrambled eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Then we started on our journey to go stand in line to eat a Paula Deen's restaurant. Noelle, gave us a gift card for our anniversary to eat there. Thanks Noelle! We didn't have to stay in line but about 30-40 minutes. We spent the morning around River Street until it was time to head back for lunch at The Lady and Sons. We ate on the 3rd floor of the restaurant. We chose to eat off the buffet. We had fried chicken (which was very good), cream potatoes (which were OUT OF THIS WORLD, crazy, good!), mac 'n' cheese (which I am sorry Paula, my aunt Ann has got you beat hands down on that one), black-eyed peas, fried cornbread cakes (which Kevin said I could beat Paula with my cornbread), cheddar-garlic biscuits (Red Lobster has better ones), but then for dessert, I had chocolate-chip butter cake (oh my gosh, this was like eating cotton candy it melted in your mouth and made you want to slap the person next to you; it was HEAVEN!!!) To wash it down with I had freshly squeezed lemonade that was very delicious and refreshing. It was very neat though to eat at someone's place that was as famous as she is. It's neat and fun thing to tell people you have done. After we rolled ourselves out onto the street, because we were StuFFed; we went next door to shop in Paula's store. We spent the rest of Saturday around Savannah. I had to go to The Peanut Store. Two years ago my mom went to Savannah and brought back a can of chocolate covered peanut brittle and I just had to get some more. It was so very good! We rode on the Georgia Queen River Boat and saw the famous Forsyth Park Fountain. Since we had such a rich lunch, we decided to eat at Five Guys Burgers and Fries for dinner. We had a very nice weekend. We did a lot, a lot, a lot of walking, and we sweated a lot, a lot, a lot, A LOT! So we felt like we walked or sweated off our meals, but it was nice to be away and just get to spend time with each other.
