Savannah is perfect for a group: a variety of sights, plenty of walking in the large historic district with its charming squares, a lovely, active riverfront, restaurants, night spots, and, 2 1/2 year old Ruby's personal favorite--the playground near the house in Forsyth Park. Before the others arrived, Mark and I revisited some favorite walking areas, the lovely Catholic cathedral, and sometimes made simple meals at the house, sometimes ate out. The old Jewish synagogue and its story fascinated us; I include a couple of photos because you probably don't need to see my typical Savannah sight-seeing photos. It's a very photogenic place.
The other photos are of family fun and activities. I had long dreamed of this kind of long weekend together to celebrate our 50th, and it was even better than we had hoped for. Being able to share a house large enough for all to hang out for memories and laughter--or for splitting up into smaller groups for a game or conversation at times--was perfect.
Question of the day: What makes for a perfect celebration of an occasion for you?

At our celebration dinner (thanks kids!). |

ReplyDeleteBeen awhile so good to see you still blogging. Any occasion with our sons small United nations family is special. They live far far away in the desert. I call it a U.N. family because it consists of two Northdakotans, on Minnesotan, one Ethiopian, one Rwandan, and two Arizonian twins...:)
ReplyDeleteWow, TB, your family sounds fascinating! I very much appreciate your visit and your encouragement in my (as you can see, somewhat interrupted) blogging. I have some projects almost ready to show and talk about, so will be back within a couple of weeks. Super to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to your blog for awhile ... fun to read about your 50th anniversary. I remember your wedding, at the Seminary; for me, it was on the back porch of the kitchen where I had my last cigarette ... 1967 was also our year. Congratulations and all the best.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to hear from you again! I found your comment sort of accidentally (given that it was awhile after this post). Congratulations to you two as well.
