Ten Years.....

On October 9, Matt and I celebrated 10 years! We had originally talked about going back to San Fran since we honeymooned there but then decided to adopt again and didn't want to leave the kids for that long. We debated for a while on what to do and where to go. We decided on Savannah. We love Savannah. We went there for our 2nd anniversary and had a great time. We've driven through a couple of times to grab lunch. So last weekend, we dropped off the kids at my parents' house and off we went!! There were so many highlights....the quiet should we choose it, uninterrupted meals, not hearing Mama and Dada a gazillion times, awesome food, long walks, and then there were the gifts. We were both very surprised at what we each received. I bought Matt motorcycle riding lessons from Harley and he surprised me with a set of beautiful pearls...REAL ones :o). He's been talking about learning to ride for months and I wasn't real excited to say the least. But I knew he'd love it and be jacked up about it. My pearls are stunning and I feel very pretty in them. Thanks Honey!


Vic's on the River was a place we found on one of our drive thru visits. It's right on the river and they have delicious food. However, the best thing are the Fried Green Tomatoes! Yep, absolutely one of the best things we've ever eaten. My mouth is watering. We ate here both days for lunch and had them on each visit. And we had to get our own since we weren't really willing to share....lol.

This is our Bed and Breakfast, the Dresser Palmer House. It's two blocks from Forsyth Park and just beautiful.

This is our private entrance to our room called "Wisteria". Very romantic and secluded.



Our room. It had exposed brick on both the walls and the floor, really beautiful.


Classic Savannah street, Ivy covered stairs, lots of shade and history.


We went to Elizabeth's on 37th for our anniversary dinner. It comes highly recommended and is in the "1,000 Places to See Before you Die" book. Again, just delicious food, fancy schmancy.

The fountain at Forsyth Park.

Where does ten years go? It's been the best decade of my life. I am one very lucky girl! It was the perfect weekend and we can't wait to do it again. Savannah is romantic, full of history and stories, quaint, and the people are just delightful and pleasant. You must try it if you've never been there. Where we will go in another ten years?? How did you celebrate your 10th??

  2. We always thought that our tenth anniversary would be our first real vacation (long and childfree)since our honeymoon. Cruise anyone? Now, we'll have to wait and see. We'll only be post-adoption by less than a year at that point, and the military has a way of interfering. I certainly be dreaming, but not getting my hopes up!
