Memorial Day, Southern Style

Enjoying the Sunset at the Boathouse on Hilton Head

Last weekend we took a trip down south to Savannah and Hilton Head and it was absolutely fantastic. We ate everything in sight, and did a whole lot of relaxing on the beach. The people were so nice and well mannered, real southern gents and jewels! I have been dreaming about Savannah for a long time, and I was not let down.

We stopped for peaches at a roadside stand.

The weather was perfect!

The view from our place was awesome

We ate buttermilk biscuits...

and shrimp and grits...

and sampled our first pralines.

We tried to walk off all the food by looking at beautiful houses...

and beautiful fountains...

and beautiful moss-covered trees.

we took a drive to the wildlife refuge to look for gators...

and we saw them... up close!

The trip was amazing, we did everything we set out to do (or in the case of getting sunburned, to avoid). A fantastic time was had by all!
