Savannah

The first weekend in March we went to Savannah with another couple, our good friends, Beth & Bobby! We had them over at our house one night and thought it would be so fun to go to Savannah together! We originally planned to go for St. Patrick's Day weekend (this weekend) but the hotels were outrageously overpriced and everything was booked. It worked out well though, we had such a nice time!

We got in around dinner time on a Friday night, and we had a dinner reservation at the Olde Pink House. I had heard so many great things about this southern restaurant and knew we had to try it out. It was simply amazing...the food, ambiance, just everything! I absolutely loved it. I had their filet w/ asparagus and potatoes, both hubby's had the BLT fried green tomato salad, and Beth had their sweet potato ravioli meal. Everything was great!

Their signature drink, The Pink Lady's! :)

Group shot! *darn camera phone flash.. we look evil!

The next day we had a short window of "good weather". There was a tornado warning for that afternoon until later in the evening. We had a tornado siren go off and our hotel came on the intercom. Everyone seemed so calm but I was FREAKING out! Nothing happend, just a lot of heavy rain, but thank the Lord we were ok and there were no tornado's!

Before the weather turned on us we decided to explore River Street a little and have brunch @ Huey's. Huey's is a must! Such good breakfast and great for people watching!

After brunch we went to the Savannah Bee Co. where I picked up some Tupelo Honey (which was featured on Oprah! lol), and drove to a kitchen store I really wanted to check out called, Kitchen's on the Square. I bought some cute porcelain tags you can write on with markers. Great to use for food signs when hosting parties!

The weather was terrible on Saturday, which was basically our only good day to actually do anything. We stayed inside at our hotel most of the day, got a drink and lunch at their bar downstairs, and later went to The Pirate House for dinner, and drinks aftewards.

At the Pirate House. Their fried chicken meal was amazing!

After dinner we went to LuLu's! Such a cute little place! Beth and I loved it. They served desserts and dessert cocktails! We ordered chocolate martini's!

After dinner and drinks we went to a bar to see a random band play. It was a few old guys who were pretty good! So fun.

Also, if you haven't already noticed Daniel was in charge of taking pictures. Normally I don't really document our trips. I'm just not good with keeping up with it. Maybe that's something I should work on? I thought Daniel did a pretty good job! ;)

On our last day in Savannah we got breakfast at Panera and visited Tybee Island on our way home. Visiting Tybee was another one of my "musts". Daniel and I are just major beach people and I heard there was good driftwood there! I had high hopes for some DIY driftwood Pinterest projects! lol

My husband having a driftwood photo shoot... lol

So pretty!

While our trip was short, and the weather wasn't ideal we still had a really nice, relaxing time! The two places I wanted to visit but we just couldn't was the Lady & Son's restaurant and the Sundae Cafe in Tybee (closed on Sunday).

If I could sum up this trip in two words it would be architecture and food! Both were just amazing! I would love to go again and explore some more when the weather is nicer. Maybe next St. Patty's we'll go? :) All in all, it was a fun weekend trip!
