Ok, I'll admit it, I've become a lazy blogger. However that is going to change. I'm mending my ways so here is a post that's just over a month old but hope you enjoy it none the less.
Labor Day Weekend, Emil's cousin, Anna was married. We went as a family to the wedding in Savannah, Ga. It was so charming. We had never been to Savannah before and we weren't disappointed!
It was about a 7 hour drive from our house so we stopped at South of the Border, which I had always heard of but had never actually been there. Apparently Emil's family always stopped there when they were heading to FL on their family trips.
There was this entire store, a whole building, that had funky hats. I think Kirstin and Noah tried on every hat there. I'm amazed we didn't end up with lice!
We cracked ourselves up posing and being corny tourist.
One of the days we took the trolly and really enjoyed the Historic District.
There were so many beautiful old southern houses and buildings. Spanish Moss was hanging from every tree. It was beautiful but kind of haunting too.
There was also a LOT of wrought iron. It was so detailed. (Note the waterspout at the end of the gutter. It's suppose to be a dolphin but looks more like a catfish to me!) It use to be a symbol of status so many of the old houses had it.
I loved this window. I don't know if it's the shape or color but it was so beautiful to me.
This is the SCAD. Savannah College of Art and Design. It's a pretty elite Art School from the sound of it.
They actually own buildings all over the Historic District and I think the school is one of the reasons the area has such a artistic feel.
This is the bluff that overlooks the Savannah River, the body of water that eventually leads out to the Atlantic Ocean. It may not look like it but the bluff is probably around 25 feet high.
Our favorite place by far was the Savannah Candy Kitchen. You see that pan? Those are candy turtles. Mondo huge ones! It smelled so good! I really wanted to apply for a job but thought the commute might be a bit excessive. Darn the luck!
Caramel Apples, need I say more? Of course this is what I'll be making for October!
Noah's dilema was too much candy, too little $$. So sad! (Don't feel too sorry for him I gave him $10 for souvenirs and it all went to candy!)
