Happy 15th Wedding Anniversary to Michael and Brooke....
15 years....where oh where do the years go?
and....happy 2 months to Blair
What a treat this morning to have Blair do face time with Grandma - she was so animated moving those little hands and arms! Made Grandma's day....
After breakfast in the atrium,
we walked to Oglethorpe Square and sat in the park waiting for the Owen-Thomas home to open. Unfortunately 2 buses pulled up and dropped off lots of passengers there. Next available tour time was 11.....Vicki stayed and did that, but Linda and I shopped and had noon reservations at Paula Deen's (Lady and Sons) for lunch. Food was excellent (especially asparagus sandwich on pumpernickel bread) and then.....just so happened that today Paula Deen was making her come-back 1st appearance in Savannah since the fiasco with racist charges which were all dropped. We waited in line for 2 hours to have Jamie Deen's new cookbook signed and got to meet and shake hands with Paula, her husband, Michael and sons Jamie and Bobby. It was all worth the wait.....Paula was very gracious and thanked us for coming and for caring. We could not use cameras or phones, but they took our picture with the family and that will be available online next Tuesday!
Beautiful breakfast room at the Marshall House

Walked to the City Market with that area being mostly artsy......onto the River Walk where we met up with Vicki and did some browsing the shops and then had happy hour and dinner at the Chart House - wonderful meal sitting outside overlooking the Savannah River on a lovely evening.
Large container ship passed by as we were having dinner
Had 2 pedicycles take us back to hotel and now ready to collapse after another BIG day in this beautiful southern city.

So glad you went ahead to Paula's restaurant and what a treat to meet her and all her family. That was a treat you did not realize you were going to have at all. Looks like you are having a great time and good weather too. Cool here yesterday, but warmer today and supposed to be low 80's for the rest of the week. Hope your good weather holds and you continue to have a great time. Just don't eat too much, HAHA!!!! Judy
