Love In the Deep South...

Twelve hours after my return from Colorado, Jeff and I left for a 3-day lovers get-away in Savannah, Georgia. It's a place we've heard great things about but, have never been and we loved it! The sites, the food, the hotel, the company...it was a great trip!

We did a lot of exploring down by the river...

These stairs were really steep! The picture does not do them justice. I was grateful I had my flat shoes on!

There are beautiful parks scattered all throughout the city. We saw many of them and enjoyed them all!

We also enjoyed looking at the architecture. The old buildings were really neat.

My favorite park was the Forsyth Park. It's the largest one and is very charming.

Of course, we were sure to stay well-fed. Lots of seafood and ice cream after every meal (my dad would be proud!)

And of course we had to try the oysters! They didn't smell great but, they sure tasted pretty good. You know what they say about oysters...

Long Time No Blog...

I promise we're still here! Well, "here" is relative--I've been traveling a lot! In the last 2 weeks I've been to Tampa, Colorado and Savannah. I'm home this weekend but am off to Ft. Meyers and Orlando the next 2 weekends. It's all good stuff but, I can't tell you how good it feels to be home, doing my laundry, making cinnamon rolls and watching college football.

Before things got crazy, we were able to enjoy a shrimp boil tailgate with some of our friends before the UF/LSU game. What made this extra special was that our good friends, Cassie and Craig, were visiting from Texas! They moved away from us about 5 months ago. We really miss them and it was so fun to have them back--it just felt right! I was running around with Ashley getting the food ready so, I didn't get a great chance to visit but, just being in their vicinity was refreshing.

I went to Keystone, Colorado for a week-long conference and, while the conference itself was not-so-hot, the location couldn't have been more beautiful. Being there made me want to buy a hyperbaric chamber and move to the mountains. (Hellooo, how do you breathe up there!?!)

The view out my window...

My last day there I woke up to this...

... and it was definitely time to head home.
