Our Trip to Florida (by way of Savannah!)



Well, I figure better late than never to wrap up the posts about our (ahem...August) Florida vacation. This post is much shorter than the others, but still noteworthy, because instead of staying on 95S we took a detour and visited Savannah for a few hours. Savannah is a beautiful city and we'd never been there before. The main draw for us, since it was such a short detour, was to eat at either Paula Deen's restaurant "The Lady and Sons" or her brother's restaurant "Uncle Bubba's Oyster House".

If you know me, you know that I love to cook and bake. One of my Food Network favorites is Paula Deen. A few years ago my brother-in-law brought me some spices and sauces from her store in Savannah, and I was sold! Alas, the line was too long at "The Lady and Sons" (since we wanted to hit the road again after lunch), but I did stock up on some goodies from her store.

We decided to head on down the road (about a 10 min drive) to Uncle Bubba's Oyster House instead. Ok, so if you're ever in Savannah, you have got to eat here! The food was delicious the atmosphere was much more relaxed and appropriate for our 2-year-old to enjoy. We opted to eat outside, where we were able to enjoy live music and a beautiful view of the water. We ended up staying in Savannah for about 2 1/2 hours and then continued on our trek to Florida- bellies full and happy. =)

The First Full Day of our Florida Trip

On our first full day in Florida we visited Green Meadows Petting Farm in Kissimmee, FL. While it was a bit expensive, there was so much for John to do and enjoy that it made it worth it. John was able to ride a horse, feed goats, hold a chicken (!), milk a cow, pet a chick, and even take a train ride!

That same evening we visited Disney's Boardwalk. We enjoyed dinner and walked around a bit, just enjoying each other's company and the beautiful scenery. =)
