Adams Parents Visit Oct.2010


Sunday:
We woke that morning so excited to see how James would feel seeing Nana when he came downstairs, I brought him down and he said "Hey Handsome!"(his name for her)..and from that moment on they were inseparable!
She read him the same two books she brought him all morning till we left for church.
Church went great, all James needed was "his Purse"..he made Nana give him her purse for the whole service..and that's when he discovered her Cherry chap stick, or as he called it "Movie Red" (he meant to say Ruby Red) Then he proceeded to put the "movie red" lipstick on all over his lips,chin,etc LOL! Very distracting!!
We got some lunch and dinner but pretty much relaxed around the house for the day.

Monday:
We decided to head Downtown to Forsythe Park, its so pretty down there! We hit up the park so James could get some energy out, he also needed to go touch the water fountain!  






 Brighter Day the health food store we love is across the street so we went over there and Nana got James some snacks!
  By then it was time for lunch, we were only down the block from "Mellow Mushroom" best pizza in Savannah by far!! Outside of amazing food, they serve GLUTEN FREE PIZZA so James gets to eat out to!!
After our yummy lunch we swung by a Pumpkin Patch on the way home!!
 

Adam made us an awesome dinner...
           and no evening is complete without yoga with papa and more stories                   while baking cookies with Handsome!

Tuesday:
 We decided just go shopping and relax. We did swing by Adams work so his parents could see the mural that he did. But we had such big plans for Wed. and Thurs that we needed one day to chill so we got some lunch at Molly's, and Adam again stole the night with an awesome Chipoltle dinner! James showed Nana how "Larry" sleeps! LOL 

Wednesday:
Got up early to get the day started! 
Long drive down to the Crab Shack on Tybee Island but well worth it!!
James got to feed some alligators with Nana


Lunch was amazing!!! The table split a huge platter of Crab Legs, Lobster Claws, Sausages, Potatoes, Craw Fish and mussels! ..even James joined in on the mussel eatin fun!

Before and After.......








From there we headed over to Fort Pulaski!
That was so much fun! we forget how much history we are
 surrounded by living her in the south.
Standing on a real drawbridge over a moat (or as James would say a river)

We got to watch a real live musket firing demonstration, after the guy gave James the spent shell!


This is the place that John Wesley preached his first sermon on American soil.

Thursday:
Woke early to drop Bella off with my neighbor, then it was off to Jekell Island! James made it the whole hour drive, but we did have to pull over to a rest stop once there so he could go potty....but i was so proud of him!!
Jekell Island is like a small place outside of this world, hardly a population and its so quite. Probably the most relaxed place ive ever seen, would be a great place to retire.
The Sea Turtle Center is the reason that we came, its a rehabilation center for sea turtles that have been found hurt on the beach or in the ocean. They keep them and treat them then release them back in to the ocean.




It was so neat to see a real live sea turtle! Adam had to get James this super cute turtle backpack
from there we headed over to this sea side grill for lunch, and back on the road we went!
Jacksonville was about another hour drive from Jekell.



The Zoo was fun as usual but even more fun because adams parents where there to see james have so much fun. Its james favorite place, he'd live there if we'd let him! There was hardly anyone there so that was nice, james got to feed the giraffes which was so cute! It was over all our best trip!

From the Zoo we headed back to our hotel, to unpack and relax for a bit...then it was off to dinner! We got some dinner at Jackosnville's Mellow Mushroom which was delicious (Kosmic Karma, and Buffalo Chicken)

We had decied to stay the night at the hotel so adams parents could have that extra time, they left for the airport at about 5am, we got up shortly after to start the 2hr trek home!We had such a great time and we cant wait to live closer so we can visit with them more!

Good Night...
