visit to the 30A

These pictures are a little late. For the 4th, we went to San Destin. One of the days, we cruised down the 30A to Seaside. I have never been to this area, but after reading Seleta's blog, and Erika's blog for a long time now, I was interested in seeing this great area.


These are just some random pictures from the day. I do LOVE Seaside, and would love to go back for a vacation. It is such a happy place, and I love how neat, clean, and organized it is! Did I mention it's a pretty dog friendly place too?

Very cool airstreams for a quick bite.
How cute is this post office?Pizitz is AWESOME!!! Loved every single thing in the store. Furniture, accessories, and art.
Everything here really gets the creative juices flowing.
My pictures are kind of backwards, but I think this is called "Ruskin Park."
Very cool, Savannah style architecture with a little mod mixed in.




This chapel is awesome. I love the style. We had to get some pics.


Then for a little break before heading back to San Destin.

We loved this place! The Great Southern Cafe. The atmosphere on the porch, and the bartenders rock! We will be back one day!

Amelia Island

This past weekend we went to Amelia Island for the GA Bar Association conference. {Lawyers not bartenders :)} This was our 3rd year going to this, and staying at the Amelia Island Plantation. We learned that they do have dog friendly rooms, so this year the girls got to go on vacay too!
It was great! We had a first room floor, perfect for doggy potty breaks.
We also had a room that overlooked the ocean. Each morning we took the girls for beachtime very early while the beach was pretty quiet and cool.
Savannah got to practice her jumping skills. She's pretty impressive.

Sophie loves the beach, always has.
There was some high speed running. Mostly by this one below.
The beach really is Whippet heaven.

Sophie got to kick up her heels.

Did I mention she's fast? Very fast....

The Amelia Inn.

This was the grassy hill between our room and the ocean.




They did great in the room. No accidents or problems! Savannah really likes vacation life!
Can't wait until next year!

Thomasville {Part 2}

The second part of our day trip in Thomasville was particularly fun for me. We visited Sweet Grass Dairy. They have a market where you can buy cheese, cured meats, wine, crackers, etc. Since I am a big fan of all cheese, we brought home some in addition to the best salami I have ever had. Also got a cute canvas shopping tote with their logo.
After the market, we drove into the dairy. They weren't open for tours, but we were told we could drive in to see some goats. The guy at the market said these babies were only a few days old.
I was pretty amazed by their cuteness.


The blog photo opp. Charles loves these.

Doesn't this make you want a baby goat?
It is a beautiful place. We didn't see any cows. They must have been hiding in another field.
Goats really do eat anything. See below.


I just think this little babe would love living with us and 2 whippets.


The goats below were closer to the actual dairy. They looked like teenage goats.
A huge herd of adult goats.


I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

On a side note. Emily Giffin's new book, Heart of the Matter, came out yesterday. I started it last night, and so far so good. She is one of my favorite fictional authors. I have read all of her previous books. She is an Atlanta girl.
