We're in Savannah, Ya'll!

No pictures right now ... I haven't uploaded them and mom and Jen are still sleeping. But, not for long ... because today it is all Paula Deen all day! We are going to head over for breakfast at 8 and then the tour company picks us up for the "Paula Deen Tour" at 8:45. We have reservations for The Lady and Sons tonight at 6:30. Full day.

Our hotel is beautiful. It is an old house (hence the name ... The Eliza Thompson House) on one of the most beautiful streets. When we pulled up and were getting out of the car, the bellman came out and asked us if we were checking in and if our name was Townsend. Jen and I looked at each other and looked at him and said "Are you Kevin?" ... and HE WAS! Not a lucky guess on our part ... we had read the reviews and everyone said how fantastic Kevin was. He gave us a quick tour of the house and then showed us our room. We are on the ground floor in what would have been the maids quarters. (BTW, the house was built in 1847). We spent some time walking the amazing streets, getting lost (sorry ... I forgot the map on the bed!) and finding somewhere to eat. We ate at City MarketPlace and then went to Leopold's for ice cream ... Mom had heard it was the best ice cream in Savannah. It was good ... but, I am partial to Blue Bell (does that make me a true Texan?!)

The sleepy heads are up so I guess we are off for a day of fun ... more tonight!
