We arrived late Friday night, which didn't stop us from staying up for 3 more hours talking drum corp politics & drama. The Pittman's house is lovely, stylish & cozy. Right up our alley. We were given the guesthouse for the weekend, which beat the hell out of any place I've ever stayed before.
Saturday was spent exploring Hilton Head Island, where we encountered parakeets & painted hermit crabs, ate at the world reknowned Salty Dog, climbed Harbor Town lighthouse, and gee whiz, Fran & Ashley even went for a dip in the ocean.
We settled in at the Tiki Hut, catching some live music & having a few drinks, & discovering a new favorite of mine known as the Frozen Alligator. We also got to see a handful of houses John has designed. Breathtaking, to say the least. If only...
Saturday night was kids night. We hit the town hard and saw Superbad which (sorry, I have to say this) is Supergood! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. Then we headed back to the guestloft for a little Soul Train, aerobics & pitas in hummus.
Sunday we set out for Savannah. But first we hit the Crab Shack for lunch. Awesome restaurant right on the water. Not only did they have great food, but featured giant bunny rabbits, alligators, dolphins*, & cats galore.

Then we arrived in Savannah, which is a great little town. Highlights including but were not limited to, Tybee Island, River Street, ferry boats, candy shops, art galleries (+ giant spiders), and my personal favorite, the park where Forrest Gump sat on his bench & told his life story.
Here's a few more random shots from the weekend.

It was terrific fun & a big Thank You to the Pittmans for opening their home to us. Hopefully we can do it again, real soon.
