We are moving to Savannah!

I am moving my family to Savannah Georgia. (Just as soon as I can scrape up the 4 or 5 million dollars necessary to buy the Mercer House)

Above: Lunch at the Boar's Head overlooking the river on a GORGEOUS spring day!

Below: Same restaurant, but Griffin was in a picture taking mood!


We had a blast in Savannah for Bailey's All-State Chorus concert. We left Thursday after I got off from work and got down there around 10:30pm. We tucked in the hotel for the night. We woke up Friday morning ready to go, but the weather was a little nasty. But, according to the weatherman it was going to blow over by noonish, so we headed out anyway. We (Donna, Grif, Mimi and I) drove passed where Amy lived. We drove out to Bonaventure Cemetery (gorgeous!!). Then we headed back to see if we could sneak in The Lady and Sons for lunch, but no such luck! We headed to River Street, and ate at a restaurant called Dockside. Great place, great food, and great company! Then we walked! Square after square, oh, after going into River street Sweets to watch them make taffy and buying some pralines, street after street.
The Mercer House does tours now, which it didn't when Donna and I were there last, but we didn't have the time to do it! The homes were just as beautiful as I remembered, and the weatherman was correct. The sun came out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the rest of Friday or all day Saturday! We walked about 3 miles or so, unless you ask Lorraine who thinks we walked 10 miles!
Friday night we drove to some friends place in Statesboro. We had a Low Country Boil and a wonderful time! Grif was in hog heaven with acres to play on and a golf cart to drive too! Saturday we got up and went walking some more! Had lunch at the Boar's Head overlooking the River. Then we headed to Bailey's performance! Watching 250 kids that can sing is incredible! They did a great job and it was obvious that they were having a good time! We left immediately after the concert and headed back to Cville. We made good time, getting home at 9:30 Saturday night!
Sunday was another great day! Worship was amazing and I was lucky enough to get to lead out on I Will Rise! A great song that I love! Pastor continued his streak of messages that have been stinging a little, but he is doing a great job! Sunday School was horrible! More stinging!
Anyway, another great weekend for our family!

The kids are signed up for spring sports. My tournament team is playing every weekend. I think the yard will end up being 2 feet tall sometime very soon! We have so much going on. The calendar is full! Praying that we are able to slow it down enough to enjoy all the gorgeous things around us and the ages our kids are at!

Silly Man, I thought you were really moving; but if I could move, Savannah would be the place! Glad you had a great time and had a safe trip!
