For our 17th wedding anniversary and for Doug's 40th birthday we decided to go to Savannah, GA. I was planning to have a surprise birthday party for him but he insisted several times that he just wanted to "get out of town" and have some time together. Well, that is just what we did. Mom and Dad took the girls and we headed for Savannah. It was a great long (but still too short) weekend. We stayed at the Westin Resort which was truly beautiful right on the river.
Doug was pretty good most of the time and promised not to do business while there but I happened to go into a shop and noticed he wasn't behind me. I went outside and found this picture.
This is what we saw every day from our window in our room. Someone had docked their yacht at the hotel during their stay. It was a beautiful site to say the least (at least for Doug). To the right is the water ferry we used each time to go across the river to the shops and restaurants.
We decided to take a carrage ride to see the sites of "old Savannah." (You can tell by my hair the wind had been blowing all day.)
Among the other things we decided to eat at "The Lady and Sons" (Paula Deen's restaurant) the afternoon before we left. We were told that we needed to get in line the morning of for lunch reservations. We were in line a little before 9:00 a.m. and the line was already around the building. Some of the people were there as early as 7:00 a.m. We waited in line a little over an hour for reservations at 1:15 p.m. I have a very patient husband.
The food was worth waiting for. It truly was mouth watering. We now can say that we have eaten at "The Lady and Sons." It was a great weekend and one that we will remember for a long time. It just seems like yesterday we were married in the Washington, DC temple. It has been a wonderful 17 years and we look forward to the future with lots of excitement.
