Girls Trip!

 

These are my dear friends, Sheryl and Stacey.  We were roomates in college as well as sorority sisters.  Sheryl lives in Minnesota with her family and Stacey lives in Michigan with her family, so it is not often we get to see each other.  

I have been lucky to spend time over the years with each of them and their families separately but the last time the three of us were together, was when we all had just had our first babies.  And those "babies" are now all 15 years old!

So we decided we were due for a girls trip!

We ended up picking Savannah, Georgia and it was the perfect spot for us.

We shopped, and ate, and laughed and shopped and ate.

 

The much anticipated Wilkes House was definitely worth the wait (almost two hours in the heat and humidity).  The restaurant has been serving family style true southern food forever.  It was delicious, over 22 sides!  We practically rolled out of there.  It was hands down the best fried chicken I have ever eaten.  

  

Being in Savannah, we had to do a ghost tour.  It was fun to walk around and hear all the creepy stories about certain mansions and town squares and cemeteries.   I was not scared the whole time except for when a drunk guy jumped out and grabbed me in the middle of a ghost story about "someone screaming."  The person screaming was me.  The drunk guy had no idea how spot on his timing was. 

 

Stacey and I got up early and walked three or four miles every morning and we loved all the beautiful architecture of the houses in the historic district as well as their gardens.   This is the fountain in Forsythe Park.

 

This restaurant was called Gryphon and the atmosphere was awesome.  It was a pharmacy in 1926 and still had all of the original mahogany shelves and drawers along with all the original stained glass windows and lamps.  And the food was delicious too :)

 

Probably one of the most famous restaurants in Savannah and  it did not disappoint.  We again loved the atmosphere and the cuisine.  It was a lovely dinner with girlfriends.

Love these girls and the time we got to spend together.

 

  

We spent some time on River Street as well.

 

Here we are at a dueling piano bar called Savannah Smiles which also happens to be my favorite movie of all time.  

The bar was SO fun and everyone sang along to every single song.

 

Our last day in Savannah.  

We ate and shopped more.  Ha!

What a fabulous weekend catching up with fabulous friends.
