Savannah… the coolest city ever.

On Father’s Day weekend my cousin got married in Savannah, GA. My brother, my dad, and I drove down together on Friday afternoon to the DoubleTree hotel in downtown Savannah. We didn’t make it in time for the Rehearsal Dinner so we ended up just walking around town for about an hour. Well, we found River Street which was lots of restraunts, bars, and live music in the squares. It was actually pretty awesome. Then we met up with my mom and just had some fun in the hotel rooms laughing about who knows what.

Saturday morning we got up and walked to breakfast with my aunt and uncle, my other cousin Jonathan and his wife Jenny. Breakfast was sooo yummy; I had an order of “Scrambled eggs with cheese in a croisant”. YUMMM! Then we decided to just walk around town all stinkin day. It was super warm but thankfully I had packed my new light-weight summer dress from Anne Taylor Loft. It’s one of my new favorite things.

The greatest part about Saturday… besides the wedding… we’ll get to that in a minute but there is something important we have to discuss. The greatest part about Saturday was going to see PAULA DEAN’s restraunt and store! Oh my goodness, if only you knew how much I watch her shows and try her recipes… it was an honor to see all of her little knick knacks and cooking tools in the store. To eat at her restraunt you have to make a reservation three days in advance so we didn’t do that but it smelled good from the sidewalk. Needless to say, I had my picture taken with Paula and purchased a plate to put in my bathroom since it matches my shower curtain perfectly. I’ll probably use it for soap or something like that. Anway, it was a great event!

The wedding was very sweet. My cousin has wanted to marry this guy for quite a while so she was super excited. It was held at the Savannah Yact Club on the water, outside under an oak tree. The weather was beautiful with a nice breeze. They both cried during the ceremony and she was jumping up and down most of the reception. We were all very happy for them. This is a picture of all the cousins excpet Will, which everyone was sure to keep pointing out… I’m in the yellow. :)

So all in all I had a blast. Will and I are going to go to Savannah for our anniversary next year since we did Charleston this year. I know he’ll enjoy Savannah a whole lot more than Charleston. Savannah reminded me of a larger, more fun downtown Wilmington. Anyway, you should go there if you have the time. Maybe we’ll see you there!
