Oh, Savannah! {Summer Vacation}

It's safe to say that most of our mornings went like this: 1. wake up 2. go to the beach. No complaints here though!

But our afternoons were full of adventure. I fell in love with Savannah, the moment we drove through downtown that first day. So a little more exploring was absolutely necessary.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was gorgeous! I love their baptismal font!

The squares in downtown Savannah are so beautiful! We stopped and made penny wishes at this gorgeous old fountain.

And don't even get me started on the architecture. Love, love, love!!

This is my favorite picture of Grace from our trip. My sweet little pumpkin in all her 8 year old splendor. Love her so much!

Grace insisted I wear the hat. Looks like I'm wearing a BONNET - ha!

We couldn't come to Savannah and not have lunch at Paula Deen's restaurant! Dessert was my favorite!

Hudson shares my sweet tooth. He found this candle for me - the "Ooey Gooey Butter Cake" candle because it reminded him of the "super yummy bestest delicious" dessert he'd just had.

We found this cute little shop - Kitchens on the Square - and did a little shopping.  I just love their "shopping bags"!

Later in the day we headed back to Tybee to do a little more exploring. No one but me wanted to tour this lighthouse, but they all went along with it and I think they ended up liking it even though it was HOT! It's the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum - 16th tallest lighthouse in the US!

The view from the top! Worth all 178 steps!

So windy at the top, but so much fun!!

Holding on to my babies for dear life!!

We are so used to go, go, go that I just relish the downtime we have anytime we're on vacation. I love moments like this, right smack in the middle of the day!

A little miniature golf to close out our day...

One of my favorite memories from our vacation was the bumper cars at Island Miniature Golf and Games!  Something so simple and common, but we just had a blast.  We were the only ones in there and the girl let us go an extra long time.  Safe to say that every.single.member of our family is 
C O M P E T I T I V E - ha! 

Dinner and a gorgeous sunset on the pier...oh how I wish we could just go on vacation all the time - ha!

I tried to take a couple of nice pics of the littles and this little fella...oh my! That look though!! *bless it*
