We just got back from another trip to Georgia to see David, but also to see our friends Tina and Chase. Our other friends we knew in Kansas, Katrina and Cade were able to come up for a few days to see us from Alabama. We had a great time, but we are exhausted. Our days were very full and having three kids in tow is somewhat of a challenge :)
Garrett and I went down on Wednesday and then on Thursday we picked Tina and Chase up from the airport in Jacksonville. Garrett's first time in Florida (his 12th state). Then Katrina and Cade made it to Brunswick. We went over the islands and ate at one of our favorite restaurants Iguanas on St. Simon's. We had been looking forward to going to Savannah for our tour and to eat at Paula Deen's place and made it there on Friday.
We took a two hour walking tour of Savannah! After pushing a stroller on cobblestone and brick streets, you can only imagine. We went to the Savannah riverwalk and found out that the town is actually 10 miles from the ocean (a history lesson for today). We had to be at Paula Deen's at 8:30 to get reservations for the rest of the day! We got lunch reservations and enjoyed a great Southern meal :)
On Saturday, Tina and I carried our kids up 129 stairs to the top of the St. Simon's lighthouse. Never again! We were exhausted! We did finish the day off with a relaxing afternoon on the beach.
On Sunday, we went to Jekyll Island. It was the winter home island for people like the Rockefellers, the Astors, the Vanderbilts and the Goodyears' during the early 1900's. It is still pretty high class to this day. On that island there is the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, were they rehab injured turtles and I think the boys really enjoyed seeing that. We also went the beach on that island to watch the Space Shuttle launch, but it was delayed. We actually thought we saw the launch, but it was just a plane :(
Enjoy the pictures! We are going to rest and clean the 5 pounds of sand out of my car!
