Greetings from beautiful Savannah GA! I am here enjoying a girl's getaway with my mother, daughter, sister-in-law and dear friend. We are having a wonderful time!
Today we walked the streets and toured the gorgeous historic homes as part of The 75 Savannah Tour Of Homes And Gardens. The tour took us to the Ardsley Park area of Savannah. Established between 1900-1930, these mansions boast the best and most beautiful of their kind! We were thrilled to be able to visit these wonderful homes today!
Tomorrow holds the promise of just as much fun and excitement as we are scheduled for the "Paula Deen" Tour', finishing with a lunch at Uncle Buba's Oyster House. My daughter Jacqueline and I went on this tour last year and were so impressed that we want to share it with the rest of our group. We will spend the remainder of the day in Savannah's antique and interiour design district. This is heaven. I love southern style!
Then is is off to Blowin' Smoke for bar-b-que! Blowin' Smoke was recently featured in Southern Living. It is a marvelous place to eat! It will be a big day of eating, thankfully it will also be a big day of walking!
That's enough for now- I'll have some fun posts later. Look for a recipe from tonights dinner at the Charter House- A parmesan crusted grooper topped with lump crab and served on a bed of smashed potatoes with a light sherry cream sauce. I'll try to reproduce it and get the recipe out to you!

Savannah is one of my favorite cities. The food is fabulous and there is so much to see. We have a couple of favorite restaurants out on Tybee Island on our "can't miss" list. I'm still in Florida, may be here a while. Have fun.

Bonjour Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip, and I love your week's menu. The Easter Sunday dinner looks lovely, it brings back so many precious memories for me. It is just my other half and I here in France so we are working hard to keep up with all these traditions.
Enjoy your getaway,
Mimi
Savannah is a wonderful city. When we lived in Charleston, we traveled to Savannah often. The two "southern belles" are different and alike--well, just like southern belles!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Yvonne I am so jealous!! I love Savannah, it has been about 5 years since I was there, I need to go back! We stayed at a Great B&B called the Ballastone Inn. Enjoy your trip, looking forward to your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Savannah--so glad you're enjoying this time with your family!

so nice to have your girls with you in Sav- so much to do there- not sure if the salvage store across from Bedford's is still there- but interesting things there. look forward to your ice box cake recipe- crossing my fingers it is of the coconut variety-my favorite. my guess is that the azaleas are still blooming. i really liked the shell and ballast walkaway along factor's walk.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in Savannah! How great to get everyone together for a getaway. Savannah is just gorgeous. I do beleive that petticoats are required there. It is just the epitome of the old south. Can't wait to see all your pics and hear your stories!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful trip with family! How nice. The menu sounds perfect to me!!!! Have a great week! We'll look forward to pics!!! XO, Pinky

Enjoy beautiful Savannah. Wish I was there. Sounds like great fun. Beautiful antiques there for sure.
ReplyDeleteUncle Bubba's she crab soup and a wedge salad should be fabulous. I don't see the she crab soup on the menu but hopefully they'll have it as the soup of the day when you're there.
ReplyDeleteI love Savannah, there isn't any more that I can say about it.
Lucky you in Savannah, one of my favorite cities. Have fun with your family and enjoy all the good food and tours.
ReplyDeleteI have been on the Paula Deen tour and ate at Uncle Bubba's also. He was so nice to come out, visit, and take pictures with us all! Enjoy your trip, Joan
ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds fabulous and I do hope you took lots of pictures. What a lovely season to visit Savannah.
