Memorial Day

Yikes, lots of catching up to do here!  I guess I'll start with a bit on our Memorial Day weekend. 

Justin and I went to Savannah, GA for our friend from college's wedding.  Justin was actually in the wedding party.  We flew down on Friday morning and flew back on Sunday morning.  It was a quick trip, but it was a nice time away.   We stayed at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa, which is also where the reception was held.  It was a nice hotel and we had a view of the river and the city.  Big container ships traveled by several times while we were there.  Here's a picture I captured from our room:

Friday evening we attended the rehearsal dinner, which was held at the Olde Pink House.  Lots of good food and drinks!  The appetizers were all fried and delicious and the Pink Lady signature drink (vodka and pink lemonade) went down way too easily!  For dinner I went with a true southern food, shrimp and grits.  It was pretty good.  After dinner we went with a group to a "sports" bar called Isaac's.  I say "sports" bar because they didn't really have many sports channels for their TVs.  Poor Justin wanted so badly to see the Devils and Rangers play, but we couldn't find anywhere that showed the game.  So he had to settle for getting updates via his phone.  The Devils ended up winning, which was great, but it sure would have been nice if he'd been able to see that game!  

Saturday we both got to sleep in, woo hoo!  After grabbing some breakfast, I headed into Savannah to look for a dress to wear to the wedding.  The brand new dress I packed ended up having a terrible odor on it, so I could not wear it.  I don't know how I tried it on twice and didn't notice that it stunk!  So, it was a minor annoyance, but I had a good time walking around Savannah.  I did end up finding a dress that was cheaper and that I liked better, so it worked out all around.  Here's a few pics from my walk that morning:




The ceremony and reception were both lovely and we had a great time hanging out with friends we hadn't see in several years.  I honestly didn't take any pictures of the ceremony or reception, but here's a couple of Justin and I from later in the night:


While we were gone, Jay spent the weekend with Justin's mom.  They both seemed to have a great time.  We missed the little guy tons, but it was nice to get away and we were happy he got some one-on-one time with Grandma:
