We got up this morning with the intent of exploring downtown Savannah. We took the Juliette Gordon Low (founder of Girl Scouts) ferry across the river to River Street and then walked a few blocks up to get some coffee. The thunderstorms from last night had passed, but it was cold!! I don't think it got above 60 today! While 60 sounds good in Snoqualmie right now, we don't have the clothes for it here! We had really wanted to see the squares that Savannah is famous for, so we walked through two and called it even. We were sort of historied out... :)
So we did what girls do when they need a pick me up -- went shopping and found margaritas. :) There aren't a myriad of Mexican restaurants here, but we found a brand new one that was a near a mall. So we shopped, we laughed, we ate tacos.
When I was in middle school I hated my hair. It was curly and unruly where the other girls' hair was shiny and tame. As a "grown up" I love my hair. I often get up, fluff it and throw a bobby pin in it before going to work. Even on the coast when the wind is blowing and the water is softer, it's gorgeous. But here? Oh my. I have at least two inches of frizz encircling my head. No, not the normal curly hair frizz -- this is frightening. And in a true role reversal, mom's hair is awesome. It has body, it isn't lying flat, it looks great at the end of the day. I suppose it's her turn...
In the morning we have to head to Atlanta to catch a plane home. :( We hate when a vacation comes to an end, but we do have some cute new clothes to pack. It'll take about four hours to get to Atlanta. If you want to listen along with us, here's the playlist we created for our road trip (yes, I know it won't last four hours!).
