SAVANNAH BOUND pt. 3

Saturday we woke up to Actor's mom's grits, eggs, sausage & pancakes breakfast (famous family breakfast for yearsss. I didn't eat the pancakes, I don't like pancakes very much, only every once in a while) She cooked ALOTTT of food since there were about 20 people there. lol. It was like a refuge camp.

We ate, then got dressed for the beach (Tybee Island) Well, I guess, technically undressed... The morning started off sunny then the skies turned gray but we were determined to go get us some sand & water! We live in Atlanta, ergooo, no beaches that are decently close by. We headed there anyway & am I glad we did. It was beautiful! We said that we weren't gonna get in the water, but as soon as we got there & laid our towels down, we got in the water. haha. Since it was kind of cloudy, there was an amazing breeze so we weren't hot. The water was salty, yet warm and refreshing. We caught a whole bunch of waves, digged in the sandy water for seashells & other cool things that we could take back & made sand castles. He made a heart at first, which eventually turned into a pyramid. I made a house that turned into a pyramid then morphed into a sombrero. lol. Skills man, Skills.

We played in the water some more, got knocked down by some huge waves, then did it all over again. At one point Actor thought there was a shark & he said "Watch out, come back in." I thought he was warning me of a huge wave cuz that's what we've been doing, so I'm like "I'm straight, I can tough it." "Come in!" (I didn't hear him say shark at all, maybe cuz I'm slow) then I got out of the water. A passerby came up to us & said it wasn's a shark. Turns out it was some dolphins. I wish I could've seen them, I love dolphins.

We headed back to Savannah & went to Golden Corral. Figured we'd give them one more try. The food was great that day. The steak chef was the best! It was perfectly seasoned & was so tender & juicy. Like how the steaks look in those commercials? That's exactly how they tasted. I went back up there like 5 times! Every time that I went up there he just laughed & cut me another piece. One time he saw me coming & started cutting the steak before I even got there. haha. Everything else was delicious too. Golden Corral was a delight that day. Look at me, this sounds like a restaurant review. Well, it gets a 6 out of 5 star for that day :-)

After unbuttoning our pants & driving home enormously full, we hung out with grandma for a while. That night we went to River Street and walked around. Nomatter what's on the schedule for Savannah, we gotta stop by River Street at some point during our visit. It's like a whole 'nother world. Shops galore, seafood filled restaurants, beautiful architectures & landscapes, not to mention the river glistening from the street lights... We made an impromptu stop at the Riverboat store & bought tickets for the last cruise of the night. It was an hour an a half long. That was the first time either one of us had been on a boat so that was an amazing experience. We sipped frozen margaritas & strawberry daiquiries & let the river take its course and swept us into the moonlight. It was beautifullll. Water is so peaceful... We saw all the buildings adjacent to the river, businesses, shops, trees, etc. The ride back was kinda chilly. We decided that we were gonna bring a jacket next time we get on there for the ride back. We also decided that we're gonna take the cruise in the daylight to see what else we can catch. It was an enchanting & romantic night for us. We held hands, kissed, & embraced each other. I love being in his presence. He makes me glow...











The next morning we had a huge breakfast at his aunt's house once more, went to River Street to get some drinks (non-alcoholic of course :-)) & headed back on the road towards Atlanta. Savannah is great, but it sure feels good to be home. Our own apartment, cable, internet... the works. We're not high maintenance people at all, but it sure feels good to have access to lots of technology since we're info/gadget freaks. We went to Golden Corral as soon as we dropped his brother & dad off. Needless to say, we got full & went back home & relaxed for the rest of the day.

Exquisite Savannah, we shall be back soon to enjoy other parts of your beauty & grace...

Love,
Akanke
