Giving Thanks

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Josh, Teddy, and I enjoyed spending thanksgiving weekend with Aunt Gail, Uncle Jasper, Grandpa, and Nana in West Palm. Teddy loved being with his cousins Buster, Bella, and Bianca! We had a great time with family.

Veterans Day Getaway

Josh and I just returned from a 3 night stay in Savannah, Georgia. We had such a great and restful time at the Bed and Breakfast!

Thursday we got there in time for lunch at "Mrs. Wilke's Boarding House"- a family style old boarding house which serves some of the best food in town! We sat with several others and enjoyed lots of southern cuisine! Thursday afternoon we went for a trolley tour of the city and Josh took about a billion pictures. Thursday night, although we were quite full we enjoyed a delicious dinner at "The Olde Pink House"- the best grouper I've ever had!

Friday, I went for a wonderful prenatal massage while Josh hit some golf balls. Then we walked around the city for 5 hours and did some window shopping- it's such an architecturally rich city. The neatest thing about the city is how walkable it is- we walked to lunch, dinner, and amost everywhere! Friday evening we went to a dueling piano bar- very neat!

Saturday, Josh played golf at the Savannah Harbor and I rode along- it was absolutely gorgeous outside! Afterwards we enjoyed coffee/tea and scones at the Gryphon Tea room downtown.

Sunday morning we headed off to Tybee Island/Beach and then to the Georgia outlets on our way home (very disappointing outlets).

The bed and breakfast was fabulous- so quiet, such a variety at breakfast, a wonderful wine and appetizer hour, and really neat people to visit with.

Very cool walkup row-homes

Our favorite mansion

The "Mercer" house

A neat church

Yellow fever cemetery- 6,000 people died in Savannah that year

There were parks all over the city- Josh's favorite part was that they were all equidistant from one another!

Visiting Nan and Pop








Two weekends ago we enjoyed a brief visit to Nan and Pop's- we even got to spend time with Mom Gropp while we were there! Of course, Teddy felt he was the reason for the visit as always :). Even though he's gotten a little bigger since Nan last saw him, he still managed to melt her heart and was on his best behavior. We had a great time! Thanks Nan and Pop!
