Oh in Savannah, Way Down in Georgia

Some days, I get an urge to just quit my job, pack a bag, and leave for a place I've never been. Lately, that place in mind is Savannah, Georgia. A friend of mine recently went there for a wedding, and he loved it. Of course, I've heard plenty about how beautiful and captivating Savannah is, but I've never experienced it for myself. I hope to change that and travel to the city in the near future!

I absolutely love historical homes (and really just history in general), and my, oh my Savannah has plenty of both to offer.

I've heard they have an abundance of fountains and gardens. When I went to Paris, I remember the fountains of Versailles were so grand and elegant. I've had an interest in fountains and gardens ever since.

I'm a beach girl, so I find little things in life more satisfying than a beautiful city located so closely to a beautiful beach. Tybee Island has been on my list of beaches to visit for awhile especially after glancing through all of the beautiful pictures of the lighthouses.

I'm always attracted to a lively downtown, and I think that I would fit in nicely in downtown Savannah with all of the vibrant shops and eateries.

And how could I make a post about Savannah and not mention their annual St. Patrick's Day celebration? I would love to get a big group of friends together and visit this wild celebration just once! Not sure my liver or my sanity can handle attending more than once.

DC and Virginia Road Trip

I know, I know...it's been forever since I've made a post! On Tuesday, my job hosted a major event that took up a lot of my time, and then on Wednesday, I left to go on a road trip with one of my best friends to DC. Needless to say, after an 8 hour drive today, I'm a wee bit exhausted.

I wish I could say my trip to DC was incredibly amazing, but sadly that wasn't the case. My friend got a speeding ticket on the way up there, and then while in the metro her wallet got stolen. So those two things put a bit of a damper on the trip, but getting to see one of our good friends from college definitely made up for it! While I was there, we went to the National Zoo and did a tour of the Capitol. We had both been to DC before on school field trips, so on this trip we decided not to tour all of the tourist attractions again. Instead, we hung out with friends and just took in the city.

My first meal after getting to DC. It was delicious!

The panda was straight chowing down on that bamboo.

The flamingos were my favorite animal at the zoo, but they were incredibly loud!

The Capitol Building on a chilly Friday morning. 

I really wanted to ride the Carousel on the Mall, but my friend wouldn't let me because it was so cold. Bummer.

I'm not even going to lie...I don't know what building this is. I just thought it was pretty :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
