Trip to Savannah

We had such a great weekend! Some of our best friends, Jonathan and Jennifer (see earlier post) invited us to travel with them to Savannah to pick up a boat. Jennifer's parents live in Savannah right on the water - amazing place!! J/J (as I call them) were heading there to pick up a boat from her parents and invited us to come along. Cass went as well so it there was a crowd in her parents 2 bedroom condo on the river. They were so gracious - Jennifer is definitely a product of her parents!

Eli was such a dream! He was in the car for about 6 hours both days traveling and was the happiest baby! He loves playing with toys now and played with his monkey rattle for about 3 hours both days. He took great naps and slept really well at night. We strapped him in the Baby Bjorn and walked all over downtown. He just kicked and cooed the entire time. He loved being outside and looking around but I think his most favorite thing (besides Mrs. Dudley) was their exotic fish tank. He would stare at it and just follow the fish around with his eyes. It was super cute!

I really haven't gone anywhere since this summer and I was so stir crazy. I really needed this - hours of girl talk (I was hoarse by the time we got there - haha!), relaxation with my man, and new adventures with Eli. It was fun and peaceful all in one. We hope to go back soon! It was a spur of the moment mini vacation but so worth it!!

Here are some pictures from our trip:

Me, Eli and Uncle Cass on River Street

Eli with Jonathan - they were watching Cass play on the computer

Lee and Cass digging thru the trash in downtown (they came away with some actual treasures!)

All the boys went kayaking

Boys kayaking - this is the view right in front of their condo - you just walk right down to the water. We even saw dolphins right out here. They came right up to the dock and kayaks - it was so cool! We spent about 20 minutes watching them.
