Savannah

Todd and I recently went to Savannah GA. Before we had James we took a babymoon(a trip before the baby arrives and your life is completely turned upside down!) to Minneapolis and the Mall of America. So this was our little getaway for baby #2. We had such a great time and it was so relaxing. James stayed with Todd's mom and Aunt Linda. It was so nice knowing he was in great hands while we were away.

Savannah is a beautiful city with 22 city squares.

Forrest Gump was filmed at this square.

We enjoyed walking through the entire historic district. From end to end the historic district is about a mile long and a mile wide. Perfect for a pregnant girl like me!

One of our favorite places was Mrs Wilkes house! They serve an all you can eat southern lunch family style. We were at a table with 8 other strangers and over 20 plates of food. It was so good and so much fun to try all the food!

My favorite was the homemade biscuits!

One afternoon we enjoyed a bus tour of the city.

Our hotel, the Staybridge Inn and Suites. We LOVE Staybridges and stay at them whenever we can! It was a historic building that has been converted into a hotel.

Of course a trip to Savannah wouldn't be complete without a trip to Paula Deen's Lady and Sons restaurant. Todd and I both had the buffet! YUM!

The first thing they brought to our table was a hoe cake and biscuit. Both were so good!

One of Todd's 3 plates of food. A couple sitting next to us came up to Todd as they were leaving and asked him where he was putting all of the food! Ha!
