Evelyn's Visit

We had a fun-filled weekend starting on Thursday evening with Ev's arrival. We saw Paula Deen at our Barnes and Noble doing a book signing. She lives here in Savannah so I'm guessing we'll probably run into her at least once more before we move.

The highlight of the weekend was eating at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. Amazing food, voted #1 place to eat in Savannah. I agree. If you ever come here, go. Even though we had to wait about an hour and a half to get in, it was worth it!


Waiting in line

Then off we went to River St. and other historic downtown locales including Tybee Island. To our great shock and amazement it got down to 67 degrees in Savannah on Saturday. It's the first time I've felt cold since leaving Provo. I embrace a "cold" 67 degrees with open arms and shun the below freezing temperatures of our past home.

And this is for Aunt Tally:

I'm jealous that you and Ev got to hang out! That's awesome that you're close enough to visit each other now. :)

ugh! Sorry you had to wait so long for Mrs. Wilkes. Glad you still liked the food, though - I'm going to miss that when I leave.

I love Paula Dean's cooking! That's so cool you got to meet her. And yes, be grateful for "cold" high sixties weather. :)
