Phillip and I had a great time on Tybee Island during our first trip to Savannah. So we packed up for the day and headed to what was suppose to be a day of fun visiting the fort, lighthouse, and beach.
This day was pretty much doomed from the get-go. The heat was literally suffocating! We ventured out to the island, attempted to have lunch, which ended up taking forever and a day while we waited outside. Oh...it was bad. I don't know what you know about pregnancy hormones, but Sandra and I were grumpier than two wet hens. We did our best to tour the fort and the look around the grounds at the lighthouse. We didn't even attempt to climb it this time. It was so hot that we even gave up on walking out to the beach! Rough, I tell you. Rough!

Emory decided that he'd add a new trick to his arsenal while we were looking around the keeper's quarters. He mastered the art of climbing stairs. You would have thought it was Christmas!
All that climbing led to one tired buddy. He took a nice little cat nap on the way back to Savannah.
What pregnant women don't love Mexican? (And yes I realize everyone goes to Savannah for Southern comfort foods, but you don't argue with the craving gods.) We ate dinner at a restaurant I completely forget on River Street and then walked the waterfront during market hours. People were everywhere. There was so much to see and do!

Our last day in town was due to be short. We were in for a lot of traffic, but we toured the Owen-Thomas House and visited Forsyth Park. First, let me just mention that the Owen-Thomas House was nowhere near as nice (both staff and in grandeur) as we had remembered. In fact, if there is a more pretentious group of employees anywhere in Savannah I would be shocked. Emory was so not having the tour, so Phillip walked out with him. I ended up crying because of how awful the whole experienced turned out. I really wanted to enjoy this time with Sandra and Steven. It seemed like the heat, the crowds, the nausea, and even the lovely staff at the OT House were bound and determine to ruin my plans. God bless hormones and all that they entail!

I know I took pictures of Sandra and Steven together, but apparently I did so with their camera. I am sad I don't have more couple/group pictures to blog. It's ok though. Since we're apparently living in a world full of boys we've already determined that one of our next vacations is a Disney cruise. Fun times for kids and free time for mamas and daddys! Hallelujah!
Despite the obstacles that stood in our way, we accomplished what we set out to do: spend time with wonderful friends. We are so blessed to have them in our lives and can't wait to welcome Baby Boy Caulder in January!
