We Searched and Searched, But There Was Not a Jiggett In Sight!

Miss me?? We just returned home from an impromptu overnight adventure, 2nd honeymoon , vacation, how 'bout this..."trip in which my hubby and I got to spend actual hours in conversation, eat meals in restaurants, sleep in past 6 AM and get reacquainted with what each other looks like". If you are the parents of young children, I bet you can completely understand this.

We journeyed to the "hostess" city of Georgia, otherwise known as Savannah. It has been about ten years since we went there for a visit and we were excited to see all the sites and how things might have changed.

We lucked up and found a Holiday Inn right on Bay Street, which is one park walk over from the river. Now, we are familiar with the Savannah River...it flows by us as well, but the Riverfront in Savannah is legendary and great fun to walk and shop and well, admire all the boats! We did it all.

Yesterday afternoon we headed to Tybee Island, a mere twenty minutes away and enjoyed dusk on the beach...my favorite time of day at the beach and just getting to sit and listen to the seabirds and the roar of the ocean waves was much needed medicine for my tired soul. We headed back to town after the sunset and quickly showered and dressed for dinner. We didn't have a lot of choices, it was really late, but we wandered back down to the RiverFront to an Irish Pub called Kevin Barry's. If you are ever in Savannah you must visit. The food was good, but the show was worth the price of admission. A lovely Irishman played Celtic guitar and sang Irish diddies to us until way past midnight. It was a chance encounter, but thoroughly enjoyable. My Irish heritage rose up strong in me last night...I was proud to claim the same ancestry as that sweet mistral.
This morning we took our time leaving the hotel, mainly because it was a gorgeous, comfortable room with an incredible bed and shower...and also because we had no reason to hurry. That is such a rare thing for us, it was heavenly.

We decided to just meander the streets and squares of the city and had a ball discovering lots of fun facts and taking pictures. I desperately wanted a picture of me in front Paula Deen's place,The Lady and Sons, so we headed that way. It was lunch time and beyond belief...we were lucky enough to secure a table and eat ourselves silly!! Hey Ya'll, it was YUMMY!

After lunch, we really only wanted a nap, but we chose to keep walking around a bit and found still more historical artifacts and shops to walk through. It was a hot, but fun afternoon.

We headed home and now we are here and once again...PARENTS to a four year old. Life is back to normal...but we will always have the memories!!

Thanks to Mom and Daddy for watching our little angel!

And don't worry if you don't know what a "jiggett" is...just rest assured, we didn't see one!

Living Happily In the Moment!
