Mikey and I ventured down to Savannah to celebrate our anniversary this year. We had an absolute blast and fell in love with the city. We've both been to Savannah several times (he on his BACHELOR party on ST. PATTY'S DAY, can you even imagine the shenanigans!?!) and I've been for a bachelorette and a few other times with my family by boat. But, neither of us had ever really truly enjoyed what all the city had to offer. Our previous visits were either quick, or purely aimed at bar hopping. This time we wanted to soak up all of the wonderful history the city provides and obviously, eat till we rolled...at least that's what it felt like! We arrived late Friday night and just relaxed in the hotel, enjoying watching movies and not having anything to do. We spent Saturday morning playing tourist, I absolutely love all things history and Savannah does NOT let you down in that department. Our tour guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable... we spent several hours just exploring the city and doing as we pleased.
One of the beautiful inns...this is where all the celebs stay!
Drinking some of Paula Deen's sweet tea, y'all! *It was REALLY sweet, I am a SOUTHERNER, and love sweet tea, but oohhhh mercy, it was sweet.
We shopped around Broughton Street all afternoon after a wonderful lunch at Huey's on the River. Broughton has some of the neatest home stores...but by 3 we were HOT and ready to relax with some cocktails. We headed back to the river and started watching baseball and enjoying the beautiful views while sipping some yummy concoctions (that's totally a lie, I drank Mic Ultra...ha! So boring, but beer is MY yummy concoction!!!) It was a lovely afternoon, we were in the shade so it wasn't too hot, we had drinks, baseball and each other:) We really enjoyed having some "us" time.
Dinner reservations were for 8:30 at The Olde Pink House. We got ready, and ventured to another bar first to start watching the GAMECOCKS play! We finished watching the game in the basement bar of the restaurant, this place was huge and absolutely beautiful. I LOVE old southern homes and this one did NOT disappoint. Thankfully, the GAMECOCKS WON just in time for us to go to our table. We were seated in an upstairs room, probably an old bedroom, with just a few other tables. It was very romantic and the BEST MEAL I'VE EVER HAD. Seriously, the food was delish.
On our walk to dinner.
In front of the restaurant.
Hubs:)
See...there I go again with the Mic Ultra ( I promise I had a glass of wine first...my friends always get on me about drinking all beer!)
We slept in Sunday and then enjoyed a wonderful brunch at B. Matthews Eatery. It was really yummy...a cool little restaurant, and then ventured over to Forsyth Park. I wish we had a park this pretty in Columbia, I mean ...the trees! GORG!
And that ends our wonderful little Savannah vacay. It truly was a great weekend and one I won't ever forget. *Oh and we started the tradition on our first anniversary of getting a cookbook each anniversary, this year we got one from Paula Deen's store. Hopefully we can make her proud!

Oh, I do love Savannah! The riverwalk area reminds me so much of old fraternity formal weekends in college -- that was the life. I've also attended a St. Patty's day there and it was UNFORGETTABLE ... way too much fun. I love your cookbook tradition, by the way!
