Last week was our third anniversary, so we decided to get out of town for a few days and head to the coast.
Actually, Giles and I went a couple of days early to photograph Savannah for Regional Imagery. The weather in Savannah on Monday and Tuesday was pretty bad: cloudy, rainy, windy and frakin’ cold. Still, Savannah’s charm is warming, and I think we got some good shots. I have several galleries in my Savannah collection; they include images of downtown, a visit to Ft. Jackson, Savannah at Night, and two cemeteries.
Autumn joined us on Wednesday, just as Giles was departing. We lunched at Paula Deen’s restaurant before spending the rest of our anniversary day exploring more of Savannah. The weather was still crap, but at least it had warmed up. We had dinner at this cool Asian fusion place and finished the evening with a nightcap at a Scottish pub. I put photos of Autumn in a separate gallery.
The next day found us in Charleston, just 100 miles up the road. We were famished by the time we pulled in, so we took the recommendation of the concierge and went to the Fleet Landing Restaurant for lunch and beer. I’m glad we did: the food rocked. The weather cleared by the afternoon, so we walked around the historic section of downtown. We dined at the famous Hyman’s Seafood restaurant and had an excellent meal. When we next visit, we plan on spending a bit more time in Charleston.
In all: a great trip. Thanks to my lovely wife Autumn for another wonderful year. And thanks to Giles for the company early in the week.
How did you like Paula Dean’s? Every time I see the place, the line is out of this world…
Yeah, it was pretty good. Get there early…
