Weekend in Savannah and a patriotic performance

This weekend was our bi-annual Girls Weekend and we went to Savannah. I ***LOVE*** Savannah. It is such a beautiful city. I love the architecture of the buildings...I love the set up of the neighborhoods...I love the history of the city. It is just all amazing. On Saturday we went to a tea room and had some incredibly delicious food and I had a tea that is now one of my new favorites! Saturday night we went out to watch the Gator game on tv. During the course of the game the table next to us had a few different sets of drunk people who sat there and for whatever reason each group of drunk people felt it necessary to start talking smack about the Gators to us. For a little bit I thought for sure I was going to end up in a fight with some drunk country boy. I eventually gave up and had to start drinking just to tune them out and I had a huge and delicious frozen margarita. :-) Sunday we did some shopping down by the river and then drove over to Forsyth Park and walked around there for a little bit before it was time to head home. It was a really fun trip. It's great to get out of town and enjoy a wonderful city with wonderful friends and laugh really hard! :-)

This morning the 2nd graders of Libby's school put on a patriotic performance. They sang patriotic songs, recited patriotic poems, and they had some veterans come in as speakers. The children were all so dang cute up there in their shirts that they made and singing thier little hearts out. Honestly, as they all sang America the Beautiful it actually brought a tear to my eye. I loved it! After the performance it was time for Libby to head to class and for Ryan and I both to head off to work. When they came in just before the performance began this morning I saw one of Libby's classmates (Avery) spot me in the crowd so I waved to her and she pointed me out to Libby and Libby waved. Avery said something to Libby and Libby then leaned over and said something back to Avery and Avery smiled. After work when I picked up Libby I asked her what they were talking about when they first saw me and Ryan sitting out in the crowd this morning. Libby said that Avery said, "There's your mom!" and then Avery said, "I forgot to tell my dad about the performance today so I don't have anyone to watch me" :-( Libby leaned over and said, "You have my mom and Ryan to watch you so don't be sad, ok?" How sweet is my girl???? :-)
