Well we made it back from beautiful Georgia. While all the Oregonians were complaining about the rain storms in Oregon on Facebook, we were enjoying the sun and mid sixties. It felt so good to see the sun and I felt like it lifted my spirits. We had three jam packed days with Jordan and Jessie and we had fun every minute of it.
We have to start of with a travel day picture at PDX.
We traveled all day on Thursday. As soon as we walked out of the Savannah airport, I knew we were in the South because there were rocking chairs by the pick up curb.
After Jordan and Jessie picked us up, we headed to a BBQ place for dinner. I had a delicious pulled pork sandwich and Josh had the ribs. It was so good! I believe the place was called The Smokin' Pig.
When we got to Jordan and Jessie's we visited for awhile and then headed off to bed to adjust to our new time zone.
Friday was Valentine's day. This had to be one of the most fun Valentine's ever!
First thing in the morning we did a work out with Jessie. Then we did couple yoga poses.
Love. It's Valentine's day y'all!
???
I think we have it.....
Wait, I can't reach your lips....
But Jordan and Jessie got it!
Breakfast was at the Cracker Barrel. We met up with Jordan and Jessie's friends, Becky, Ryan and Lincoln, who were passing through on their way to Florida.
Lincoln is so adorable! I was trying to capture his cute dimples. He loves his Auntie Jessie.
This was my breakfast. I had fried cat fish.....Hey, you have to try new things! The grits were okay, the Apples were amazing!!!
More rocking chairs at the Cracker Barrel. Josh wanted to buy one and still wants to. Becky is photo bombing (you can see her reflection in the window).
When our server brought our meals out she said that our bill was already paid for by someone anonymous. Someone probably noticed the military haircuts at our table and it was also a holiday. Very cool, but wish we knew who it was so we could have thanked them personally.
On our way back to the house to get ready to spend the rest of the day in down town Savannah, we stopped at a Chocolate shop. This place was busy, it's very good chocolate that is made by a third generation Italian chocolatier family. Plus it was so busy because it was Valentine's day. Yum!
Then we spent the rest of the day in Savannah. This city is so cool and I can't wait to go back and spend more time there.
Walking along River Street. The Savannah River.
Cinder and Butter. We love our Niece Puppies!
I love the cobble stone street. I wish I would have taken more pictures.
For Dinner we had reservations at The Pirate's House.
By the way, Josh thinks he is Captain Morgan.....
The Pirate's House is the most historic spot in Georgia. The main house was the first built in Savannah and it's Haunted. Unfortunately we were not spooked by a ghost, but I believe it's true.
This is a Wench that walks around for entertainment purposes.
Even though we didn't have a ghost visit us while we were at Pirates house we had a very good meal and an awesome waitress, Sybil. Fried pickles were not on the menu that evening, but she made it happen. She also gave us a few other complimentary goodies. She treated us very well, so we treated her very well.
It was kind of funny when she brought back our check she had noticed that our last name is Trump. She started dancing around all happy and said she would probably get a great tip. Hahaha! We must be related to THE Donald. We had a couple other occurrences with our name over the trip. It happens here, but people just ask and don't have any fun with it.
Uncle Donald, if you are reading this, we would like our share! But please don't FIRE us!
After a skull crusher for the boys, we headed off to our next stop. We did a Haunted Brew tour. Basically it was a walking tour. The guide walked us to a few bars and told us ghost stories along the way. The stories were more of third person stories and I would have liked to hear more history of why this or that ghost haunts each place. There are other tours in Savannah that are more history related that I think would be fun to go back and do. Savannah is one of the most haunted places in the US, I think the guide also said the world. The Revolutionary and Civil wars were fought there and also five or six yellow fever break outs happened. There are over 10,000 unmarked graves under Savannah.
First stop was at Churchill's.
Second stop was at O'Connell's.
O'Connell's is known for their Pickle Back. Watch out you might get "jiggly" like me (AKA giggly).
Along the way to our last stop we went to the Owens-Thomas House for some more stories. I would like to do the tour of this house some day.
We went to 17hundred90 Inn and Restaurant.
I'm not sure if I would want to stay at this Inn, it's haunted! The restaurant is known for it's Flu Shot.
I don't know what happened to the boys for this selfie.
Our last stop was a cemetery.
Some people have had their pictures distorted when taken with the cemetery in the background. I thought that my hand looked creepy in this picture, but it's probably just the lighting.....
After our tour we went to Leopold's ice cream. Another famous spot in Savannah.
The Trump boys love their ice cream......Seriously! I like ice cream, but I get sick of hearing about Josh's love of ice cream. He would eat it for every meal if he could!
Can you please take a nice picture Josh......
Come on!
Finally!
Jordan and Jessie are pros!
After our ice cream, we headed back home. We were tired and ready for bed.
But wait! We had to finish off our fun Valentine's day with Cannoli's that we picked up from the Italian chocolate shop. I think we all had a sugar high after this day.
Wow, now that I've written out everything, we did a lot!
Still more to come. Two more days!
