With school starting in a few short weeks (say it isn’t so!), we’re making one last trip down to Savannah for the summer. After practicing for hours on end in the car, the PCP was absolutely giddy to get to historic Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor to participate in the “I Pledge” program where children are rewarded with a free ice cream cone for reciting the Pledge of Allegiance from memory. 
I was beaming with pride as he confidently and passionately recanted “I pledge allegiance … and to the Publix for which it stands … ONE nation under God in-da-is-iv-vis-able with … for aaaaaaaaaalllllll” We are loyal Publix shoppers through the ranks of this family, but that takes it to a whole ‘nother level! 
After he devoured his tutti-frutti (“it’s healthy with all that fruit”) and Cookie went to town on his chocolate chocolate chip (“healthy? I don’t know no healthy!”), we had grand plans to hit Forsyth Park and the sprayground right when the afternoon thunderstorm rolled in. So, we laughed ourselves silly in Ice Age 3: Continental Drift and sang “we are family! we are ham and cheese!” the whole way home. 
The littles went down surprisingly easy for our first night at Mimi and Ampa’s house, so I stuffed my gullet on Daddy-O’s homemade tacos and am about to snuggle up with Mary Kay Andrews’ new read!! Nighty night! xoxo
Rosemary Beach: Until Next Year
Today was our last day at the beach…many memories were made this week! Before we hit the road home, I tortured my boys with family photos. By the time we got ready, I figured the beach would be swarming with sun lovers so we took to one of Rosemary’s lovely tree lined walkways for this… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Shopping 30-A
It rained most of the morning so Daddy-O was a doll to go grab us two boxes of doughnuts from Charlie’s Doughnut Truck at Alys Beach! You have to get there early (there was a line at 6:15 AM) because they only stay open until they run out. Always a model example of resourcefulness, Mother… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Water Logged
We’re wrapping up another sun filled, fun filled day at the beach! And, after picking up dogs from Dog Man Du and nachos from Cowgirl Kitchen, we completely water logged ourselves with hours more at the pool! Craving pizza, we hopped over to Pizza by the Sea in WaterColor for supper. The pies were… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Living It Up
Outside of the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House tour, we spent our day… Tooling around Rosemary… Checking out the fish in the pond and climbing trees in the square in front of our house… Repairing all sorts of things around the house “just like mister s” (our porch contractor)… Eating our daily sno-ball (sour cherry… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House
Y’all, you seriously cannot imagine how thrilled Sister, Mother and I were to learn that our annual visit to Rosemary Beach would coincide with the 2012 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House!! It was absolutely stunning – and quite sizeable for Rosemary seeing as it covers almost an entire block. We took loads of pictures on… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Toes in the Water
We finally managed to tear ourselves away from the cool, clear water of the Cabana pool to spend a day with our toes in the Gulf. The littlest ones loved digging in the sand and playing in the surf while John spent hours on end with the skim board. When the first thunderstorm of the… Read More
