We did our annual girls trip with my mom and Lulu down to Savannah and Tybee Island this year and we had a lot of fun. The girls loved being at the beach, and Meredith especially loved staying at the hotel. We stayed at a Best Western Suites, so now every time she sees a Best Western she goes crazy! She does the same thing when she sees any Cracker Barrel now, too, because we ate there one night while we were there.
We did the beach every day except for one, we did downtown Savannah a bit, and we let the girls play in the fountains down there one day, which they loved!
I jotted down a few specific cute things that happened while we were there:
Meredith: "Do you think my blanket is safe at the condo?" She asked that the first day we went to the beach and she left her blanket at the hotel....so sweet!!
Lulu: "Melanie, what do you want to do at the beach?" Melanie: "I want to smoke.....I mean, I want to make sandcastles." Random, but funny!!
Melanie and Meredith: "Ooh look, white panel van!" That was a joke the whole week. Tommy drives a white panel van for work sometimes, so Lulu always jokes about it, and the girls were picking them out in parking lots and on streets all week. When we went shopping for our van, Meredith wanted us to get a white panel van.
Melanie: "Here is a shell for you, Meredith." (Meredith takes it and throws it to the ground). Meredith: "I want to find my own. Oh look a shell!" (same one Mel gave her). She is one stubborn kid!
Meredith: Steals my fries at Chick-fil-a, the one place I know I can actually eat fries...."We can share Mommy!"
Melanie: She is easily freaked out by birds, so at the beach she started freaking out when they got too close to her, so I showed her how to run towards them and how they scattered. That was her game the rest of the week! She started to look for birds to run after.
Mom Mom: "Where are you sleeping tonight Mel?" Melanie: "I havent thought that far away yet!" (at 11:00 pm). That's our Melanie!
What a fun trip!
