You won't lose the beat if you just keep clapping your hands...


So...I was uploading the pictures from our trip... and I got a little carried away. There's music and subtitles.** Picasa is pretty cool. I must say we weren't very good at taking pictures. We did that thing I always try not to do. Take a lot of pictures of buildings. Those aren't really good for framing!

Still those pictures are just a hint of what we loved about Savannah. Like you can walk down the street with any adult beverage of your choice in hand, as long as it's in a plastic cup. 


It makes you feel like a rebel and makes vacation kinda fun!
We, of course, only indulged in the evenings but we saw people fully embracing the to-go cup in the middle of the morning!


The other cool thing is the SCAD. Having young, artistic types running around the city in their hipster gear gives a historic place a unique, artsy vibe. And brings in good music!


The Wilco show at the Johnny Mercer Theater was amazing--they played for more than 3 hours! They never disappoint. 
(Even at your 9th concert of theirs.)


And after we met and bonded with a great couple from Jacksonville, FL and hung out a bit--we decided to try and score some tickets to the sold out She & Him show with them.(as I hoped) We managed to get two seats... and it was great!

 We ate more southern comfort food than I care to remember...but Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House was our favorite... The fried chicken! The mac-and-cheese! The greens! Yummy!


All and all--great trip, great company, great city!



**the little movie slideshow isn't as clear as it is on my Picasa site! Bear with me!

Keep the car running...



I've already discovered one of the joys of taking a road trip! I call it "the extra shoe bag". That's right. Not an extra pair--an entire BAG of shoes! ( plus a few purses... and a hat...)
Threw them in just in case. Because I can. And no airline is going to weigh the extra bag of shoes, and charge me for the extra bag of shoes. I like it!

Well, not these. Not very good for walking all around Savannah. (But cute)

See you Thursday, Wilco!

And maybe Paula will be there handing out biscuits to us!

And we'll also sit where Forrest sat! Cheesy photos forthcoming.

See y'all next week! Off to be a peach :)
