Savannah, GA

Kyle and I went on a much needed getaway this weekend to Savannah, GA. I have been wanting to go there for a very long time so we finally did!

We fell in love with this city. It is full of rich history and lives under the canopy of beautiful oak trees covered in Spanish moss. We took a trolley ride around the city so we could get a better overview and more history. Our tour guide was awesome, he had lived in Savannah for over 40 years and he knew everything about everything. He told us all kinds of stuff and he had a story for every house it seemed like. I'm not huge into history but it was so fascinating to hear about so much of our own American history that took place in that area. Kyle really enjoyed the history part, yeah, he's the guy that stops and reads all the information signs. ;)

After the trolley tour we walked around the city for hours to get a better look at things. We also went down to the water front, which to my delight, had TWO candy stores. We spent a lot of time down there. We also found the house that Kyle's Grammie lived in and the huge Catholic church where she attended. That was very cool. :)

And of COURSE we ate at Paula Deen's, Lady and Sons restaurant. We were in line by 8:15am to get our name on the list for lunch! It was SO good. LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!! We got the buffet and had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, collard greens, black eyed peas, green beans, butter beans, mac and cheese (my fav), salad, cheese biscuits and corn bread. I wanted to go back for seconds but I really thought I might be sick if I did. For dessert, banana pudding and chocolate cake. YUM! We might need to go back really soon.

We had such a fun and relaxing time! It was wonderful!

Class of 2010

We had a wonderful time on Saturday celebrating our sisters' graduations from NC State! Congrats Courtney and Lesley! We are sooo proud of you two!

My Mom and I made it to the 9am big graduation that lasted way too long. Then we met up with my Dad, Leah and my grandparents for Lesley's departmental graduation. She did an amazing job the last four years. She officially has her Bachelor's degree in Spanish Education and she graduated summa cum laude! Go Lez!

Kyle got to go to Courtney's department graduation while I was at Lesley's. Then we had a great time hanging out with the Fescoe's that night for dinner and celebrating! We're excited about seeing everyone again in a few weeks for the party!
