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.

Fall Fun in the Park

This weekend the trio hopped back on their Remember the Removal bikes and took a ride in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is a beautiful time of year to visit the park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The weather has been warm in the afternoon so we decided to take a ride while the weather was so nice. The sun was shining bright, the leaves are gold, orange, red and since it is prime leaf looking season cars everywhere! Besides the heavy traffic we enjoyed our ride. The elk were out enjoying the sun and a late lunch. The leaves falling as we rode to Smokemont Campground made the ride a fall dream. The colors were so vibrant and crunching under the wheels. I loved having a moment to just enjoy the outdoors even if I'm paying for it today. The soreness has set in because I haven't been on my bike in months, but it was so worth it! Since we are all busy with work and travel we have to find ways to stay healthy. Biking is a good way for us to do that and I loved spending th...

Scottish Highlands and the Hairy Coo!

Traveling North outside of the city is quite an adventure. You have two bridges to choose from, one old sturdy bridge or a newer bridge with wider space, both are architectural beauties! We traveled by coach on a tour through Viator. It was the most convenient option for traveling through the Highlands and getting on the Jacobite aka, the "Harry Potter Train." This was an overnight tour from Edinburgh to Fort William with several stops along the way. We heard so many stories along the way about Mary Queen of the Scots, the Loch Ness and Nessie, Jacobites, wars, Glen Coe and whiskey. Coming from the mountains of WNC we found a lot in common with the Highlanders, very similar stories of little people, whiskey/moonshine, and folk music. Made us feel like we were riding around home! I really enjoyed our tour guide and the tour overall, I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy navigation through the Highlands. There is just so much I can say about how amaz...
