Weekend Getaway

This past week was CRAZY and John and I both agreed we needed to get away for the weekend. So we packed up Cameron and headed for Savannah. We had a lot of fun! We stayed at a great hotel, ate good food and tried to relax (as much as you can with an 8 month old anyways- it's kinda impossible!) John got us a FAB deal on the Hiatt in Downtown Savannah through Hotwire. It was beautiful! And we took Cameron on a little trolley tour of Downtown which he LOVED. He would put his little hand on the side rail of the trolly and stick his head out to look at all the sites around us. Whenever I took his hand off the rail (because who knows what kind of germs are all over it) he would put it right back! He thinks he's big stuff. We had a great time walking along River Street shopping for souvenirs for Cameron. We got him an adorable little shirt with a Pirate on it that says "Pint Size Pirate". It was ADORABLE!
Anyway, here are some pics we took on our trip. Next week we are headed out to California for Emily's wedding! We are really excited! Any last advice for us on how to ensure Cameron will have a good trip on the plane and a good vacation away from home for a week?

Dinner at Churchill's English Pub


Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?


My dinner was DELICIOUS! It was crab stuffed flounder in a lemon butter white wine sauce with spinach and tomatoes.


John had this citrus salmon with sweet potato fries and these English beans


We let Cameron try a french fry the next day at lunch at Five Guys burgers- awesome place! He looked like he liked it!


And here's Cam sleeping in his new t-shirt. He fell asleep before I could take a picture of him in it. Isn't he a cute little pirate?

TAG: Getting to know you

1. What are some things you do everyday? Eat, sleep, snuggle with my baby boy, work, Young Womens planning (most days- maybe not every day)and try not to get in too much trouble.

2. What would be your dream vacation? A trip to the Greek Isles! Or better yet, a Mediterranean Cruise that stops in the Greek Isles and other cool surrounding places. I also would LOVE to go to Egypt! Cairo holds a special place in my heart (wink wink Em)

3. What is your favorite meal to cook? My mom's spaghetti recipe and cheese Texas toast. It's so delicious and I never get tired of it!

4. What should you be doing more of? Cleaning my house, cooking, exercising, eating more vegetables and being on time.

5. Any OCD habits you can't kick? Looking in mirrors and shiny surfaces to check my hair, face, etc.

6. Have any unfinished projects? My life in one big unfinished project! It seems like there's never enough time in the day to get everything done. I'll leave it at that.

7. What are your hobbies and interests? Shopping, traveling (both of which I haven't done much of at all this year!), movies and blogging

8. What are your 3 favorite movies and who are your favorite actors/actresses. This is an impossible question! I like so many movies and actors but some of my recent favs are: Nine, The Proposal and Marley & Me. Another great oldie that I've recently seen is Somewhere in Time (with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour) It's so good! And time travel totally fascinates me! Has anyone else seen this movie? It's kinda obscure. Actors I like: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Mel Gibson. Actresses: Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep

Spread the interview and pick a few friends: Emily T, Kristin, Amber, Kendra and anyone else who would like to do it.

I found my first gray hair today!

As I was fixing my hair this morning and applying my finishing touches of hairspray and shine oil- I SAW IT- a little gray (almost white) hair sticking up amid the endless flow of two inch dark roots that are long overdue for their highlights. In my bewilderment, I thought to myself- is this really happening now? At 27 years old! When did I get so old that I'm going gray now? How depressing! Who else has gray hairs and when did they start?

What's worse is when I took the pictures below to document this post with proof, I found even more gray hairs! I never see the very top of my head! I didn't even know they were there! No one said ANYTHING to me! How long have these been there? Gosh I hope some of that is the flash!






So this is what it's like to be old!

Super Bowl Party at Roberto's

Amanda and Robert- John's brother- invited us over to watch the Super Bowl at their house. It was Cameron's first Super Bowl and he absolutely LOVES watching football! I don't know if it's the bright colors or all the movement or what but he really enjoys it! And he was dressed well for the occasion. Take a look at the cute pics we took.

So what was your favorite commercial? Was it me or were they a lil "run of the mill" this year? I didn't catch them all though, I may have missed some good ones.
