A Charming Savannah Birthday Party

Chuck and I had an amazing long weekend in Savannah in celebration of his 30th birthday. We had visited once before – on our wedding anniversary in 2012 – and the second time around did not disappoint either of us. We did the whole 9 yards: a ghost tour in the Historic District, low country-style tapas, a book fair at Telfair Square (at which Paula Deen made an appearance), a luxuriant and romantic dinner at our favorite restaurant of all time, a night out dancing at the Bohemian Riverfront rooftop bar, a picnic at City Market, a nap in the sunshine at Forsyth Park, and fresh seafood on Tybee Island.

The food in Savannah is what really gets me! One morning I ordered TWO breakfasts, because I just couldn’t decide. I also particularly enjoyed a salted caramel brownie and chocolate covered strawberries that I found at an adorable, French-inspired cafe tucked away by one of the squares. It’s such a piglet city! And I have no regrets.

Anyway… Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to the Love of My Life ❤

 

The beautiful Swan House, where scenes from “Catching Fire” were filmed. This property was used as President Snow’s mansion, at the end of the Victory Tour of the districts. Gorgeous inside and out!

When does it get cool and crisp in Georgia? Ready for my first pumpkin spice latte of the season, but it’s still too hot and muggy down here! Went with the salted caramel mocha frapp instead – can’t really go wrong 🙂 #starbucks #pumpkinspice #coffee #psl (at Starbucks)

Morning run around the new ‘hood (yes, I ran.) This is not quite the part I live in, though 🙂

The many positions of Bean on our epic road trip to Southwest Georgia. It’s been a longggg few days folks, but things are calming down. More to come early next week, once we get Internet up and running.
