Put a Little South in Your Mouth

Keeping up with our trend of not having a single free weekend since the day the girls were born, we headed out of town AGAIN (quite possibly our 6th rental car this summer-that's another story!)to Charleston and Savannah. One of my childhood friends who I grew up with in the same neighborhood finally tied the knot at the beach in Kiawah so we had a blast reuniting with the Coventry Green group! =) We decided to extend our mini vacay a few days to make it worth the long drive and stopped through Savannah and spent two nights there. This was our first "just us" as a family trip and boy did we have a ball! No schedule or agenda, just enjoying our precious girls and making memories as a family. We truly had the best time and managed to squeeze in quite a few yummy meals and some strolls through the downtown/historic areas of Savannah. What an adorable city that I am thankful we had the opportunity to visit! Some of the highlights of the trip included seeing old friends, dinner at Hominy Grill, walking along the waterfront in Charleston, our surprise buffet meal at Paula Deen's Lady & Sons restaurant, our walk through Forsyth Park, playing with the girls in the hotel rooms, eating pizza at Vinnie Van Go Go's, Leopold's homemade ice cream, and grabbin' take-out at Zunzi's (biggest sandwiches I have EVER laid eyes on!) and the the lowlight of the trip being-having two blow-out diapers on the car ride =( Guess it's part of the experience! Have you ever noticed there is no changing table in the men's restroom? What makes them think the mom wants to ALWAYS take care of that mess!?! =) All in all though we were soo grateful that the girls did so awesome in the car! We only had to stop twice to feed them and we were back on the road in no time. Savannah and Charleston? You were good to us and we hope to return sometime in the future! Another adventure checked off the list with our girls-we'll see what's next!!
