Snap! I adore the South.
Joey and I had two safe flights (Indy to Detroit, Detroit to Savannah) and are now back in "our" town. It's sticky humid outside, but we've kept lethargy at bay.
We've already had a trip to Sweet Leaf, our favorite barbecue spot, and a quick nighttime ferry boat ride where we met Captain Ron, who planned the next few days for us:
Lots and lots of down-home Southern cookin'.
Sweet Leaf was just as good as we remembered. I had the daily special: smoked pork tenderloin with collared greens and the granny-smith apple coleslaw. Deeeeelish! Joey had pulled pork with smokey baked beans and the coleslaw. By the end of the week we're going to try to cajole them into letting us tour their kitchen.
For dinner we decided to give Corleone's a whirl. They've got Godfather pictures all over and Tuscan/Southern infused food. I had muscles and linguini in a light garlic white wine sauce and Joey got the shrimp scampi. I feel huge. It was delicious and extremely filling, and immediately after setting down our forks we decided to go get ice cream and take the ferry ride.
The ferry was awesome, if a little short. But in the 20 minutes we were on board, we ended up in the captain's cabin talking about family-style fried pork chops and Christmas tours. Amazing.
I currently stink, so I think I'm going to jump in the shower before bed. We're planning an early day tomorrow, with a breakfast at (according to Cap'n Ron) the Best breakfast joint in Georgia, followed by an all-day excursion to Tybee Island.
I think we're planning on kayaking or fishing, and I'm hoping for another visit to the top of the Tybee lighthouse so we can take silly photos...
Love you all!
xo!
