The Laney Ladies: Savannah

It is rare that I have an opportunity to take the family on a work trip (in fact, this is the first time since Taylor has been born), but I was blessed to be able to do so this time. We loaded up in the car on a Tuesday and drove 7 hours to Savannah, GA. I spent parts of the next three days doing work stuff (let's pretend I was doing something awesome like learning how to be a ninja or sailing an ocean freighter), but was still able to spend a lot of good family time with the Laney ladies.

Becca was super excited about eating a Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady and Sons. We did. It was excellent. The fried chicken really is something to write home about.

In fact, eating is what we did best of all in Savannah. The food was great. In case you were wondering, we ate at the aforementioned, Uncle Bubba's, Tubby's, and Fannie's on the Beach. The latter was in Tybee island and although I am getting out of order, here are some pictures from the beach. It was cold as . . . well something inappropriate about witches and bras, but I wanted to take the girls to see the Atlantic Ocean since we were so close.

Now, back to what we did in the middle of the trip. We toured Savannah. River Street was pretty cool. Next to the river (obviously with the name of River Street). Cobblestones, old buildings, cool restaurants and bars, etc.

The Spanish Moss was beautiful.

We also drove around Forsythe Park. The city has something like thirteen squares, which are awesome to tourists like us, but must be a huge hassle for residents actually trying to get somewhere in a reasonable amount of time.

Daddy wanted to see some forts, but that wasn't meant to be. Residents of Savannah, huddle up! You've got to get your act together on closing times. Restaurants and shopping closing at 8:00 PM? Forts closing at 5:00 PM? You are a flipping fort. You withstood the Civil War. You can handle darkness.

Here are some other pics of the girls from the trip:
