Back from JAX    [ Travel ]

Things have been moving pretty quickly this week and I just realized I never got a chance to write a note about the trip to the JAX.

What a fantastic trip it was. It was really great to see some other family members since we all seem to be so spread out these days :( I was also quite impressed with the cities of Savannah and Charleston which had some really great atmosphere and history, and best of all was the great assortment of southern cooking we stuffed ourselves with. My fav ... shrimp n' grits :D

Highlights:
- our kick ass 4th of July southern style shrimp boil w/ corn on the cob and wedge salad ... mmm. Add in some corona's, a beatuiful beach, and fireworks and you've got a perfect night.

- dinner at the Homestead ... grubbin' southern food.

- walking around Savannah ... a beautiful yet eerie place.

- dinner at Hominy Grille ... best shrimp n' grits i've ever had. yum.

- sea kayaking w/ dolphins @ hilton head island.

- martini club followed by dog races. no explanation needed :)

There were a couple times that the whole trip seemed iffy and we weren't sure we were going to be able to go, but I'm glad we did. Can't think of a better way to have spent the 4th this year.
