My thoughts exactly.
I want to see the historical places and things in Savannah - just not the scary historical places and things!
Big chicken here.
We should tour Savannah together on a "chicken tour".

How fun! Those pictures in the cemetery are just gorgeous. There was a very, very old cemetery by a camp I used to work at, and I loved going in there and taking pictures. I looked at the Miley Cyrus link...that boot is weird! Savannah sounds so interesting!

Loved the pictures. We did a similar tour in Williamsburg, VA. It was fun but not worth the price either. Definitely a one time thing for us.

I WANT ONE!!!! Goodness that looks good!!!!
The lighting is REALLY cool!!
yeah, it was yummy! and i loved the lighting in those pictures, too.
The pictures of Ray's co-workers family are adorable! That little girl is a camera ham and sooo cute
Wow, that cemetery is really beautiful. That sounds kind of weird to say that a cemetery is beautiful though haha But all that spanish moss and the big statues and all were so pretty.
I agree, the ghost tour really did seem more like a history tour but still really cool! idk if I'd be able to stay in any of those haunted places LOL
yeah, she's adorable! i love to walk through cemeteries, especially old ones. it seems creepy but i just love the historic aspect of it and they're usually very pretty. ray asked me if i wanted to see how much it would cost to stay in room 204 (the haunted room) at 17hundred90 inn and i told him no way!
i love ALL fudge, especially amaretto-flavored fudge. yum.
Ba-dunk-a-dunk! Never had one.
Always kind of had a small not badunky butt! You still look great!
you want some of mine????? i will gladly let you have some. i got it honestly from my mama.
Loved your update! We spent one day in Savannah and enjoyed it, I would love to go for a week. It's so beautiful!
Did the doggies enjoy their treats? They look so excited!
thanks! yes, it really is a beautifuly place. and yes, they LOVED their treats. they always do!
Love the pictures of Bonaventure! I really have to make it to Savannah one of these days!!!
That blueberry martini looked yummy!!
well, when you guys decide to go let me know and i'll tell you the cool things to see and do! and yes, that martini was very good.
it was! you live in cali and you don't like seafood? wanna trade locations with me for a few meals? i guess the reason cemeteries are more tourist-y in old cities like that because they are SO OLD and there is so much history there. it's kinda creepy but really cool at the same time!
hi! thanks for reading. yeah, we asked about the bird girl statue and they said it had been moved to a museum in savannah. i love that statue - it's so eery. glad you enjoy savannah as much as i do!
Aww, another lovely Savannah update! I really, really want to go back there now!!!
We visited the Bonaventure Cemetery when we were there too, as part of the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil tour. It was so beautiful and, dare I say it, haunting! An amazing place to visit.
And I think we went to the same candy place too! Yum! And I think we also went to Parker's Market! It was either that, or a place that looked very similar. Does it have lots of great knick-knacky homeware stuff inside, but also gourmet sandwiches!? We loved that place!
And I think we have the same dogs!! Hehee, no, not really.
This...
... made me laugh out loud. Hehee. I had to explain to Conan was I was laughing at!
Thanks for another fun update Dawn!
bonaventure is sooooo pretty! and yes, haunting. i can't imagine going there at night. yep, it sounds like you guys went to parker's market. we always try to stop by there! i hope conan doesn't think i'm crazy....wanting to climb a tree in a cemetery.
yeah, that's a great book. and you would LOVE the city! and bonaventure is ginormous. belford's is one of our favorites. i think this is the 3rd time we've been there - good crab cakes!
"headed back home on sunday and that was my weekend. margot was so sweet and i'm so glad i got to spend some time with her. while we were waiting for our table at PF chang's she just sat in my lap and looked around and then when i'd play with her she'd make this little screaming noise that was so cute! and it was so nice to see some old friends from school and to see memom, jill, erica, brooklynn and bella! and of course it was fun being with erin all weekend, too. good company all around!"
I've been MIA lately...lots of H1N1 in our house keeping me hopping. That's the one thing about kids..they LOVE to bring those germs home and share with the whole family! Anywho....just wanted to say YEA! for seeing Margot! I love this age. They are alert and happy and play with you but still can't run away quite yet! Happy to hear you had a great time...okay I'm off to finish catching up with the rest of the report.
Okay I'm caught up....I have never been to Savanna...now I want to go! It looks incredible. I wonder if I can convince my DH to take a trip down there just the two of us? That would mean Grandparents watching the kids so it would be convincing them too!
Thanks for sharing the trip info...now I have ideas of where to go if we do go to Savanna!
Keeping my fingers crossed for the baby situation! It'll happen when it's supposed to! We tried for over a year on our first one...just when we were getting ready to start treatment I found out I was pregnant! Just relax and remember trying is the fun part!!!
i hope you guys have recovered from H1N1! margot is getting so big. i can't wait to see her again, probably at christmas. she's going to be a pumpkin for halloween and i'm sure i will have pictures of that. savannah is so pretty - you'd love it. if you guys go, let me know and i'll tell you some things to do/places to eat. i'm trying to remember that we should be having FUN with the baby thing and for the most part i'm pretty calm and not stressed about it. but i can't help but to be impatient sometimes. but i know it will happen for us sooner or later!
it honestly wasn't that scary. i was expecting more as far as the scary stuff goes.
My thoughts exactly.

you would be fine. riding HM was worse than that ghost tour!

savannah is so full of history - it's a VERY interesting place! and i love old cemeteries, too. glad i'm not the only weird one!
thanks. yeah, it wasn't bad but we probably wouldn't do it again.
it's always so pretty there! just try to avoid summer because it gets HOT! ray rarely has the camera so it's always interesting to see what he takes pictures of.

before i continue with our last full day in savannah, i wanted to take this time to celebrate the fact that we are now inside of 400 days until our next disney trip!!! 
that is, if we are still gonna go in december 2010.
yes, you read that right. we are playing with different ideas, all depending, of course, on the baby-making outcome. if i get pregnant before the end of the year, the plans won't change. if it happens in january, february or march, we will probably cancel december 2010 and change to april or may 2011 because i will have a VERY small baby in december and that won't work. if it happens in april, may or june, then we will cancel december and change to early october 2010. this way i will be pregnant, but not too pregnant and can enjoy ALL THE FOOD at the food & wine festival, plus we can go to the halloween party, which ray has never done. and of course if happens any time after june of next year then i will be okay with going in december. it makes me feel better knowing that we have a plan - i don't feel so stressed and rushed now. i know that sounds silly. obviously my priority it starting a family over going to disney. but you know i love to plan and not knowing what's going to happen drives me nuts! so now that i know that we can make arrangements in any event, i'm much more at ease.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
finally, our last day in savannah/tybee island!
this was our lazy day and i was looking forward to it! i got up early on sunday and let ray sleep in and went to the beach by myself before he joined me about an hour later. when i first got there i saw a huge freight ship that had probably just come by river street.
as we were sitting there, relaxing and enjoying the sound of the ocean, i noticed this in the water.....
we both got all excited. it looked like it could possibly be a school of dolphins or a very large fish. but as we kept watching, we realized it was just a big log.....
what a couple of morons!
to our defense, we saw lots of other people get excited over what they were seeing, too, but then realize it was just a big piece of wood. so we were surrounded by morons.
more bird pictures. thank goodness for that lens.
it was so nice out that day and i loved just sitting on the beach and relaxing, then going down to the water to dip my feet every now and then. so nice!
a very odd bird we saw....
at some point we walked up to the pier and got lunch at subway, but there were no bird incidents on this day, thank goodness.
after our relaxing day at the beach, we decided to head back to the house around 2:00. i did some reading in the hammock in the back yard while ray watched some football, then we cleaned up and decided to head to dinner here.....
uncle bubba is paula deen's brother and his restaurant is located on the marsh between savannah and tybee, so only about a 10-minute drive for us. we had eaten here a couple of years ago, but we had lunch and we weren't that impressed. we decided we'd give his dinner menu a try.
the fishies as you come into the restaurant....
we decided to sit on the back deck because it was so nice outside.
i got a mojito to drink and it was very yummy!
we got crab bites for an appetizer and they were SO good. we got an extra side of that sauce, too. yum!
while we were waiting on our food we saw several kitties hovering around. they would wait until someone left and then eat anything that had fallen on the ground around their table.
for dinner ray got fried shrimp with cheese grits and black-eyed peas.
i got bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp with savannah red rice and corn on the cob.
here's my corn and you can kinda see the little corn muffins they brought us, too, which were really good!
this meal was SO GOOD! i'm so glad we gave it a second chance because it was awesome. the sauce on that shrimp was scrumptious and the savannah red rice that came with it was out of this world.
for dessert we got chocolate creme brulee, which was very yummy too!
and to top off a great meal, a very nice lady who was on her way out came over to our table and gave us a coupon she didn't use with a free entree with the purchase of one entree. so we got ray's dinner for free!

ray was in charge of the leftovers after dinner!
we walked out towards the marsh on the way out and got some pictures. it was so pretty out there but it stunk! the marsh stinks in some areas, i guess because the water is sort of stagnant there.
they had a little boat out there for the "kids" to play on....
looking back at the area we sat at during dinner....
a couple of pictures of the marsh areas on the way back out to tybee....
when we got back to the house, we decided it was time to take the boys to the beach again. it was around 7:30 at this point and the sun wasn't quite down yet, so we figured it would be the perfect time. we drove to several spots before we found a good place. here are some videos of our adventure.
the car ride....
again, please excuse the crappy camera work. i was carrying the camcorder, my camera and a pooper scooper all at the same time. arrival at the beach and sherman steps on a sand burr....
eli's first time at the beach! sherman was just kinda like, yeah...whatever. i've seen this before!
the ride home....

here are the pictures i took. they look dark just because i was using the flash but as you can see from the videos, it wasn't that dark.
the last few i took of the beach as we left. they are blurry because i had to turn the flash off and was walking.
when we got home and ray took his shoes off, they were full of sand!
i don't know why he didn't wear flip flops???
we went to bed fairly early that night - it was nice though. our last day was so relaxing and that's just what we needed!
we woke up the next morning to POURING rain! it made it a little bit easier to leave the beach. 4-and-a-half hours later and we were home with two very tired beagles. but we all had a great time! i'm glad we got the chance to go. even if it was a short trip, we both had an awesome time and it's one we definitely needed!
i will get back to my FINAL installment of my ACTUAL TRIP REPORT soon, but first i'll have to post my disney on ice pics and some halloween pictures i'll be taking tomorrow night. ray and i are dressing up this year! you will have to wait and see what our costumes are. i wanted to do a couple costume but we couldn't agree on anything. my favorite idea was for ray to be president obama and me to be his nobel peace prize but ray thought we'd offend somebody.
i just thought it was funny.
hope every one has a safe and....
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

bacon wrapped anything is good.....well, almost anything....
so you did get the dogs out on the beach again!!!
so you did get the dogs out on the beach again!!!
Is Ray reenacting The Thinker, or is he just about to punch himself in the face?
Uncle Bubba's looks like a fun place to eat. Great atmosphere for that type of restaurant. I'm glad you gave it a second chance. I would probably have ordered what you had. It looks delicious!
Glad Sherman and Eli made it to the water. I bet they had fun.
I'm glad you got to take such a nice, relaxing vacation. It is so important to get away from the grind sometime and just rejuvenate. It's kind of nice that it rained and made it easier for you to leave. It might have been a bit hard pulling away on a beautiful sunny day.
I look forward to Disney on Ice pictures, as well as Halloween pictures. You guys have a fun evening!

Awesome update..as usual!
Uncle Bubba's looked really yummy!!! Well, I love seafood so I know I would love it.
Woo hoo, can't wait to see your Disney On Ice pics
thanks! it was good...great seafood! disney on ice (and your cameo) is coming up!
that shrimp looks so good!!
I've loved seeing all your pictures from Savannah! It's on my list of places I want to see. Of course, I'd get more of that accomplished if I'd stop going to disney world.
it was! yeah, i want to see other places too but i honestly am always willing to go back to disney. it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
i'm thinking a reasonable thing to do is disney every other year and other places in between.bacon wrapped anything is good.....well, almost anything....
so you did get the dogs out on the beach again!!!
i agree. bacon rules. i don't think i could ever be jewish just because i love bacon too much.

that's his "ray deep in thought" pose. i have several pictures of him doing that. it's sort of a little joke we have. uncle bubba's was good! i'm glad we went back, too. i'm glad we got away, as well. we both needed it! and it was pouring rain when i got up on the day we left...buckets full! it did make it easier to leave.

just FYI - the last installment of our savannah trip is on the previous page!
figured i'd go ahead and post my "disney on ice: celebrations" pictures before the halloween festivities begin.
we went to see this show on sunday, october 18th. heather (hlrababy) got our tickets and i paid her back, but then my friend erin decided she wanted to take her little sister. but as i had already gotten my ticket, we couldn't sit together. so we just rode together and i met heather there. heather - if you wanna add any pictures of your own, feel free!
here's erin and her little sister, kristin, on the way into phillips arena. kristin is only 6 years old and erin is 32. erin's dad and stepmom got pregnant unexpectedly a few years ago and along came kristin! and it's funny because she looks just like a little, blond-headed erin!
i don't know how many of you read about my disney on ice experience last year, but let's just say i wasn't a very happy disney fan when we got there over halfway through the first half of the show. i missed cars and the little mermaid! this year we got there like an hour before the show so everything was A-ok!
oh, and it was funny because we got in line to get in and heather and hollie were about 2 people in front of us in line. great minds think alike! chad (heather's hubby) didn't get to come because he was sick. so hollie's cousins took turns sitting in chad's seat because it was closer than the seats they had.
we got inside and looked at all the overpriced merchandise they had. i thought the binoculars were cute.
i really wanted this gus plush doll but it was $12.99. and it was tiny. i don't think so!
i ended up getting the soundtrack for the 25th anniversary of disney on ice. it's pretty cool! erin got kristin a horse that was supposed to be cinderella's horse and i think she paid around $15, which actually wasn't too awful bad. i'm sure she bought other stuff too. i know she got her one of those slushies during the show and kristin didn't like it.
i grabbed a slice of pizza since the show started at noon and i knew i wouldn't be able to wait until it was over to eat. a slice of pizza and a bottle of water cost me $10!!!! then i headed to my seat and found heather and hollie were already there. erin had paid more for her and kristin's seats and they were about 4 rows back from the ice. she hasn't sent me her pictures yet but if/when she does i will share them with you guys!
the ice before the show.....
me and heather....
heather and miss hollie....
there was a lady sitting to my right who was just cracking us up before the show started. first of all, when i went to sit down in my chair she was asleep with her coat over her head and had her legs crossed and all over in the area where my legs would go when i sat down. so i said "excuse me" but she didn't move, so i just sat down and when i BARELY touched my leg to hers, which couldn't be avoided, instead of waking up and said, "oh, excuse me" or "i'm sorry," she just huffed really loud and shifted her legs to the other side. and every time her kids would say anything to her she would say, "shut up! i'm sleeping. i don't feel good." THEN during the show she still had her coat over her head and the sleeve of it would sometimes fall into my lap. at one point i picked it up and threw it back over her - i didn't know heather was watching me when i did it and when i saw that she caught me doing it we both started laughing.
here's a picture heather took of me and my new sleepy friend before the show.
hollie got one of those things you blow in and the paper rolls out and it was REALLY big. heather kept telling her to "blow up" instead of out and, amazingly, she never hit anyone in the head with it!
this is hollie and her cousin, bailee (heather - i think that's her name but you can correct me if i'm wrong). so cute!
this dude was all decked out in his glowey merchandise.
on to the show! i will let the pictures do the talking most of the time because i took alot! these are just some of them. when i got home i had about 400 pictures to go through.
lumiere started things with "be our guest"!
mickey and minnie came out of that big basket of presents!
two of my favorites!

THEN during the show she still had her coat over her head and the sleeve of it would sometimes fall into my lap. at one point i picked it up and threw it back over her - i didn't know heather was watching me when i did it and when i saw that she caught me doing it we both started laughing. here's a picture heather took of me and my new sleepy friend before the show.
hollie got one of those things you blow in and the paper rolls out and it was REALLY big. heather kept telling her to "blow up" instead of out and, amazingly, she never hit anyone in the head with it!
this is hollie and her cousin, bailee (heather - i think that's her name but you can correct me if i'm wrong). so cute!
this dude was all decked out in his glowey merchandise.
on to the show! i will let the pictures do the talking most of the time because i took alot! these are just some of them. when i got home i had about 400 pictures to go through.
lumiere started things with "be our guest"!
mickey and minnie came out of that big basket of presents!
two of my favorites!

next it was time for a birthday party....
they couldn't figure out whose birthday it was, but then pinnochio said it was his. then his nose started to grow so we all know what that means!
so then they started to celebrate the mad hatter's UNbirthday by playing keep-away with his hat!
this part was hilarious. mickey and donald started running in slow motion and they were playing "chariots of fire."
the white rabbit showed up with a birthday cake....
....but spilled it everywhere, so mickey had to clean it up.
then goofy found this cool hat.
and this robe!
and then the brooms started to dance!
then it was time for the HALLOWEEN stuff.....and the VILLIANS!!!!
i heard a lady behind us tell her kids that this was beetlejuice.

cruella was first to arrive....
then captain hook!
and then the best villian of all.....MALEFICENT!
here she comes!
a few more bad guys showed up, then mickey knocked on the door with his treat bag hoping for a treat....
the snow white witch tried to get mickey to eat one of her apples. the pictures i took of this didn't turn out. but luckily the kids in the audience told mickey not to eat the apple, much the the villians' disgust.
then some old friends showed up to "scare" the villians away. cute, but c'mon....that would never happen in real life! <------ the ridiculousness of that statement just makes me laugh.
i loved how pluto's sheet had whiskers on it, but i never did get a clear shot of it.
then the fairy godmother showed up and minnie made a wish....
.....to be a princess!
princess time!!!

i love this picture! i have no idea how that dude is still standing upright.
here's ariel girl! (shout-out to brooklynn!)
and the newest princess, tiana, from "the princess and the frog."
then guess who appears as minnie's prince?
time for a ball! i loved that the used, "how does she know?" from enchanted for this part. love that song!
awwwww!!!!!!!
and now that you've had your full dose of princess for the day, we will take an intermission.
(insert zamboni pictures that i forgot to upload here.
)
next it was time to "celebrate" vacations! first we go to the beach. here's the guy that memom, jill and erica drooled over in nashville. i think he's supposed to be lilo's older sister's boyfriend. i can't remember the name of his character though! hollie knew it at the time because she told heather that's who it was. so i got schooled by a 4-year-old!
goofy was the lifeguard. not sure if that's good or bad.

mickey and minnie are "skiing" behind goofy!
i love goofy's method of limboing!
and mickey just goes over the top!
then we go to japan with minnie. kristin said this was her favorite part because it was so pretty.
onward to china!
next we go to mardi gras in new orleans with princess tiana. i LOVED this part. the music was awesome and so was the dancing/skating. it made me really excited for the movie!
now it's time to "celebrate" the holidays!
santa was stuck in the chimney, so they all had to join together and pull him out!
here's santa!
then it was time for the toys! this part was good, too. they skated to "the toys are back in town."
