Mini Vacation {Georgia Bound}

I seem to be behind lately on my post (or never end up doing one). As usual the time passes quickly but we've been so busy and I haven't had much time to blog. The last weekend of August through the first of September we took at little trip to Georgia. Billy's favorite place on earth. A true Georiga boy.

We made our first stop in Folkston, GA. We left our fur-baby at Yaya & Papa's house and of course had to get goodbye sugar! :)

We then headed to Savannah for a little shopping, walking and eating good southern cooking! Lilly Rose did really well on the ride up, only about 2/2.5 hours so it was perfect. It ended up being a rainy afternoon but that did not stop our fun. We enjoyed walking up and down Bay street shopping. Before dinner we headed back to our hotel to clean up while Lilly played. She seemed to really enjoy her first hotel stay.

we arrived with no wines, complains or tears ;)

Yay!

 

We had dinner at Paula Deen's because the buffet with southern veggies seemed perfect after the day. Afterwards we did a little more shopping and picked up Lilly's first birthday gift. I love to shop for holidays early and found a must have item, perfect for a first birthday. It did get me thinking though, if she was another year or two older there is no way I could hold on to something, it would've been hers for the keeping. For now, she doesn't know any better so no harm done. ;)

 

We did have an eventful night in the hotel... after bath time Lilly was more than ready for a good nights sleep. She went down in her pack-and-play but only to wake up a few hours later screaming. Screaming! I couldn't calm her, our poor neighbors down the hall! Finally, after Billy was able to hurry and make a bottle, she took a few ounces and was back to sleep. This process repeated 3x. Yes, 3 times! We all ended up sleeping through the night after 2:30AM. I'm not sure if she was scared or what but our little night sleeper sure added some excitement to our hotel stay.

Thanks to cousin Katie for the great traveling tip!

The next morning we were ATL bound and had a nice couple days visit with Billy's family. Friday we enjoyed family time and Grandma Bird made a yummy dinner for us all. Saturday Billy and I were able to have lunch with friends and then drop Lilly Rose with Grandma Bird and Aunt Peggy while we went to the Braves game. We enjoyed the game and spending time with friends. Sunday morning we were able to go to Eagles Landing church and Lilly Rose did pretty great in the service, almost making it through the entire service.

almost to grandma's

great seats! thanks, peggy!

It was nice to get away but nothing is better than coming home after being away. We enjoyed the remainder of Billy's days off relaxing, just the 3 of us. Overall, Lilly was a great little traveler!
