Southern States Roadtrip

After we rented our sweet Jeep we headed to Fernandina beach on the border of FL and GA and then ate some traditonal southern BBQ at Sonny's.

Later that night we arrived in Savannah where we spent the next 2 days. Charles did so well at his interview at South University on Friday that they emailed Monday to tell him he was accepted! That makes 2 acceptances now. After the interview we headed out to Tybee Island and ate at the infamous Crab Shack which apparently was featured on Rachel Ray's $40 a day. It was the BEST seafood we ever had. They didn't give us much but it was delicious, especially the clam chowder, shrimp and crab cakes. Even better they had alligators at the restuarant. What is it about the south and BBQ and alligators, anyone?

We were cautioned not to drop Azure over the railing into the alligator pit but I must say we weren't tempted to do so at all, she had been well-behaved all day.

You can tell that Azure is Charles' daughter in this pic for she has a classic Charles facial expression!

Here's Azure fascinated by the waves on Tybee Island

Then we strolled down River St. in downtown Savannah and passed by some historic homes which we only have video of, maybe we'll upload that...

The next day we left for North Carolina and drove through South Carolina. We stayed at the Hatch's in Durham, thank you Hatches! We got to hang out with Evelyn all weekend, what could be better? We LOVE that girl :) She showed us around Chapel Hill and we almost ate at the Azure Grille, but they were closed.

Though Charles' interview didn't go as well in NC as it did in GA we still had fun driving around the small towns south of Durham and exploring.
