Simply Savannah: Day 2

Saturdays we get up and head out to Tybee Island for a relaxing day at the beach. We love getting out here fairly early in the morning so we can park on one of the side streets as soon as you turn the corner on Tybee. We normally get set up our umbrellas, get our chairs out and hit the water when it gets hot. This year we got a Yeti bag cooler and it was a great investment. It is small enough to pack in the car, sturdy and kept our drink cold. Most days we still had ice from the day before so it is true to it's name.

After a day in the sun we pack up shortly after lunch and head to the best little seafood place in Georgia, The Crab Shack. Amazing, fresh and oh so yummy seafood platters to share await you at this gem. This year we all shared the platter for 3 and it did not disappoint, but definitely come hungry because the mountain of seafood will surely take you a while to beat.

We always try one new dinner place each year. This year we made reservations for The Grey. This is a new restaraunt on MLK Jr Boulevard near Market Square and used to be the old Greyhound Bus Station. They have kept many of the elements while remodeling this into a wonderful dining establishment. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of The Grey and overall the food was good. Smaller portions so definitely try of few of their courses.

After such wonderful meal at They Grey we decided to do some walking around and enjoy some of the many squares around historic Savannh. Johnson Square provides a great view of city hall.

While we were out walking around we looked for a new place to have drinks at. We found a great little place on Broughton called The Chive. We walked in and it had such great decor. I loved the lighting behind the bar. We looked at the menu and decided all that walking around deserved a cheese board to go with the Veuve Cliquot Rose.

Gateway to the West: St. Louis

St. Louis is a beautiful place to visit in the fall. There are so many fun historical things to do in and around the city. My favorite place to visit is St. Charles, which is about 35 minutes Northwest of St. Louis. This is like a picture perfect fall town out of a movie. The cobblestone streets lined with cute local businesses and trees changing with the season are just charming. We walked along the street checking out the local shops and tried some of their local wine. I absolutely loved the warm pumpkin wine with whipped cream at Bella Vino. This was just a quintessential fall town and I absolutely fell in love with it! And of course no trip to St. Louis is complete with out a trip to the Gateway Arch!

Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful! We drove through Boulder up to Estes Park to enter the park. I loved watching the scenery change from rolling hills to rocky mountain peaks. I truly enjoyed the scenic drive as we climbed in elevation up to around 12,000 feet on Trail Ridge Road. We drove for about an hour or so to Medicine Bow Curve. From there you could see snow still on the mountain peaks in the distance and the temperature dropped from 80 degrees in Boulder to about 39 degrees at our turnaround point. The mountain range was quite a sight and went as far as the eye could see. This was such a great drive, but I wish we had more time to get out and hike. I would have loved to hit the trails and see what we could accomplish on foot. Maybe next time, but until then I will be dreaming of these Rocky Mountains. So excited we made it to RMNP!
