It's March!! Joe has a 4 day pass, and I took a mini-vacation to go visit him. I've never really stayed in Savannah, so I was excited about that too. I did all the work on the planning since he really didn't have time to. I got our hotel, which was right behind River St where everything happened, I got a rental car, and drove down there by myself. It was my first big trip by myself. It wasn't too bad driving down there. I had a thermos of coffee, a few cd mixes, and he called me a few times to check on me. It was nice to enjoy the scenery and figure out my destination without anyone bothering me. Atlanta to Savannah was the most boring part....it's like the drive from Evansville to Terre Haute: nothing to see & it's the longest 2 hours of your life! Joe was trying to get a nap in before I got there so I couldn't talk to him either.
It was almost weird to see him after being away for 3 months. It was like meeting someone for the first time. It was silent at first, but then everything was back to normal. It's hard to know what to say when you don't see anyone for so long. There was a St. Patrick's day fest going on while we were down there, so we decided to check it out and have a few drinks. I was pretty tired from the 10 hour drive I made that day, but I wanted to spend time with him. Needless to say, it took 2 seconds for both of us to fall asleep that night. The next day we walked around the town and did some shopping. I found a Marc Jacobs store, so I was in heaven. Later on that night, we went on a ghost tour of the town. I took pictures of haunted areas that had a bunch of orbs around it. I thought it was fun, but Joe thought it was a little lame at first. I love spooky stuff, so I was hooked. After the tour around the town, we had dinner at the Pirate House. It was actually the hangout of pirates when they would sail by. There was a "drunk" pirate walking around the restaurant who sounded exactly like Captain Jack Sparrow, so I had to get my picture with him! After dinner, we went to the wine cellar in the basement. It just had an eerie feeling. You could see where they boarded up the tunnel that led to the ocean. This was apparently how they would drag out victims to sail their ships. I took more pictures of orbs surrounding the people in our tour group. If you can blow up the picture, it's very creepy!!!
