On Sunday, Chris, Abby, and I are going to head down to a place I've always wanted to visit...Savannah, GA., also know as "The Southern Belle of the Georgia Coast". I can hardly wait to get a big dose of that Southern charm! If it's anything like Charleston, I know I'm going to love it! It's so rich in history and beauty. I hope to be able to see lots of gorgeous old homes. Doesn't this picture just make you "ooh" and "aah"?
Let's not forget about the massive oak trees that have Spanish moss hanging from their limbs. 
I definitely want to take a nice, long stroll through Forsyth Park...I've heard it isn't to be missed.
The one thing Abby is really pumped about is the ghost tour we're going on! Now, I'm a big ol' chicken when it comes to things like that, but I've decided to step out of my comfort zone and GO FOR IT! It's a 90 min. walking tour that takes you around to some of the eeriest places in Savannah. I plan to take my camera and see if I can capture anything that I can't quite explain. Oh, I'm not worried, I'll have my Army Airborne Ranger hubby to protect me. I say..."Bring it, you ghostly ghouls!"
So, I will be out of the loop around here until next week sometime, but I should have plenty to share with you when I return! HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY...see ya soon!

Have a blast!! You will love your long weekend!
Happy Birthday Chris and yes, Trophy deserves to be tricked! Hehehehe..just say'in Chris!!!!
Enjoy the food in Sava...there are some incredible places, so eat local and ask around. You can't go wrong with some Southern Soul Food places. (I will admit to being slightly jealous.)
You better be taking your camera
I want food shots.
You are going to have SO much fun! I have always wanted to see those beautiful moss covered trees. How fantastic!
The cemeteries in Savannah are my favorite! So old and full of history. You will have a wonderful time.
Happy Birthday to Chris.
Good luck to Brittany!
I can't wait to hear about Savannah. Tell Paula Deen I said hello if you see her! I've ALWAYS wanted to visit Savannah! The ghost tour sounds so FUN!!! I'm a chicken butt, but I think I would love it. I can't wait to see what comes up on your pictures.
Have a great weekend. Happy Birthday to your Hubby!

Happy Birthday to Chris!! It sounds like you have a lot going on. I wish Brittany a lot of luck in her meet!
We loved Savannah, a place we always wanted to see and finally got to a few years ago. We stayed across the street from Forsythe Park and I got a lot of great pictures. Those trees are very cool. Be careful around the moss though, we were told it has a lot of bugs in it!! Most of all, have fun!
XO,
Jane
I love Savannah! We go there every year. I went on the trolley ghost tour once and had a ball.
My favorite restaurant there is called the Pink House....it is wonderful (and it is rumored to have a ghost in the lower level bar).
Fun place to shop is The Paris Market - here is a link:

If you have time and the weather is nice, drive out to Tybee Island....
Hugs,
Penny
Oh~ it sounds like you have a wonderful weekend ahead, Miss April!

Happy to be a new follower from the hop!

Oh my goodness, YOU'RE the lucky one! I've always wanted to go "do" South Carolina. So beautiful.
I saw on your profile that you're in Arkansas. I'm originally from Arkansas, so it's always nice to find a "local" :)Thanks for visiting my blog.
Enjoy your trip! I love Savannah...will you be dining at Lady and Sons? I'm all about the Southern food : )
I love the Spanish Moss and the charm and history of old cities...have fun!
Hope ya'll have a safe, and fun trip. I'm sure it will all be a blast other than the ghost tour. I would definetly be too chicken.
I so want to go to Savannah. Have a fabulous time. Write when you can. lol. Blessings, SusanD
Yet another place I want to go but have never gone. I'm slightly jealous. Take lots of pics. We'll see you soon~
Oh, that sounds just lovely! I'm with Abby: I would pumped up over the ghost tour, too. =) Sounds like you might be able to get a lot of interesting photos out of the trip!
Have fun!
Hope you are having a great time - I have so wanted to visit Savannah..for, oh, forever! I will some day - hopefully, sooner rather than later!
Hey there, love the pictures....gorgeous. Just stopping in to say hi! Have a great one!
I hope you have a great time!
My brother was stationed there for 9 years and married there. We went down for his wedding but it was February and frigid so we didn't see much at all. Just went down to the riverfront.
How fun!! It sounds wonderful!!
By the way, I am a hootin' hollerin' mom too! :)
I feel slightly less guiltly about being so behind visiting after my weekend away, now that I see you've been away too. Charleston and Savannah are both on my list... not with my kids yet, now if I could just line up some romantic company for the weekend ;)
I hope you had a lovely trip! Our spring break is in two weeks... Late this year!
Checking back in to say, I hope you are having a blast! Hope Chris' birthday was fun, too!
XO,
Sheila :-)
