Last weekend started with a Day in Beaufort  with Eric's great aunt and uncle.  On Friday evening we drove back from Beaufort to Savannah.  We met David and Paige and their little man, Zach, out for Mexican.  I can never say no to queso  or guacamole. It was an early night for all of us. Saturday we went to Sunny Side Up for breakfast. It's a greasy strip mall dive, and a must every time we're in Savannah.  Zach enjoyed a side of toast but Evie couldn't get passed the delicious menu.  After breakfast  we took the kids back to the house for naps and we got ready for the day.  That afternoon we headed to the park for a picnic lunch.  The afternoon started out perfectly sunny, but ended up with a little sun shower . David got called in to work, so we packed up and drove to downtown Savannah.  David went into the office for about an hour and the rest of us went to River Street for a stroll a...

Everyone needs a little no-reason getaway, right?  Eric and I have been trying to get down to the Low Country for quite some time to visit family.  A visit that was just for fun - no holidays, no parties, no agenda. After a 4+ hour, uneventful road trip from Atlanta to Savannah on Thursday, our little family settled into the guest room at my brother, David and his wife, Pagie's house.  Evie was up screaming for over three solid hours.  Of course, the moment she finally fell asleep my nephew Zachary woke up screaming.  No rest for the weary. Little did we know, this was the start of viruses attacking both of them. Friday morning Eric and I waaaaay overslept, but still made it up to Beaufort, South Carolina in time for lunch.  It's about a little over an hour north of Savannah, halfway between Savannah and Charleston, right on the Intercoastal.  Some of the scenes from Forrest Gump were filmed there.  Cool, huh? We arrived at Eric'...

My Mom (who is a high school media specialist) was on Spring Break / Holy Week Break.  My nephew, Connor, was on break too since he goes to daycare at her school.  My mom and I decided to take the kids to the zoo for the day.  Zoo Atlanta gets really hot, crowded, and miserable during the summer so this was the perfect time to go.  We got lucky with a cloudy, cool day.  It made for tricky picture taking but a cool temperature was worth it!  Evie Pie was all strapped in and ready to stroll!  So sorry to interrupt ;-)  Connor and Nana looking for the monkeys  Learning how to use the map.  Red Pandas.  Connor learned what a "hammock" was. We had a crowded visit at the regular elephant viewing area and got lucky for this front row spot by their cleaning and feeding area.  Connor was mesmerized.   We had to check the map a few times to figure out where the snakes were. ...
