Hey! Don’t knock Sandra Lee…yes I know she can’t really cook, likes graham cracker-lined pie crusts too much…but she’s the ONLY famous person from my alma-matter-The University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse!!! :) Some of her cocktails are pretty yummy actually. She learned to drink in Wisconsin. The land of beer.

I live in Savannah, and your review of our fair city is spot on. Since Elizabeth turned the restaurant over to the employees several years ago, it’s been riding on reputation rather than results. Paula Deen probably gets as many tourists as Tybee, but it’s the same stuff kitsched up as my grandmother used to serve on Sundays, but without the poor jokes. We seem to have decided not to have winters anymore and although the plants are confused, everyone else seems happy with it. Next time you visit, you need to experience a low country boil, AKA Frogmore Stew for the South Carolinians, and some real Southern soul food at a place I know of that hasn’t been discovered by the tourists, which I will reveal to you before your next trip. Come back and stay longer.

When we lived in North Carolina, we took several road trips to Savannah and Charleston. In fact, we always went to Charleston in April for the flowers. These cities will always be special to me. Thanks for reminding me of them with your beautiful photos.

Sheesh, I’m on a roll here today, sorry to take up so much space Deb, but since you mentioned my home town… Seattle… just thought I’d put my two cents worth in. You actually start in Seattle, go through Portland and on to Cali. If you do make the trip, make sure you do it in summer. July is really nice especially a 4th celebration on a beach in Washington. You could hit heaps of rain if you go any earlier. In Seattle make sure you see the Pike Place Market and the “flying fish”. If you have a chance, take the ferry to Bainbridge Island and time permitting, go to Vancouver Island, that way you can say you went to Canada as well.
The coast road through Oregon is amazingly breathtaking, don’t miss it! And California, you can’t miss the Redwoods, a drive through there on a sunny day would be the best part of the whole trip!

Deb I’m wondering if you’ve heard of a site called iStock? I’m sure you have with your photo savvy and all. I bet you could make a bit of extra money by selling some of your photos there.

Helen — I was DYING to do to Back in the Day Bakery. You have no idea how strong my obsession with old-school bakeries is. (Oh wait, you guys probably do.) Anyway, it’s open Tuesday through Saturday. I learned this on Sunday morning. I almost cried — we could have gone on Saturday! Fine, I did cry that.

Cruelty of cruelties, today the NYTimes ran a piece on 36 hours in Charleston, which highlighted two more things I regret missing: SNOB and renting bikes. $15 for 3 hours! See, a good thing about not being in NYC!

Glad you’re back and that you had a great trip. Too little time in Charleston girl!
There is a great bakery in Savannh, “Back in the Day Bakery”, i hope you went there, Cheryl and Griff are gems. Elizabeth can be a touch and go, agreed. I am glad you enjoyed P. Grill, it is also a touch and go. I guess this is my big issue with my city: lack of consistency. But I guess it is the sameeverywhere.
Don’t feel bad, today it is cold and rainy.

Oh, do come visit Austin! We just moved here a year ago and I LOVE everything about this city. The weather is beautiful, cool buildings, fabulous resturants, and just a generally fun place to be. I promise, you’ll love it.

And commenting TWICE on one entry is huge for me. Like I might need to go take a nap or something.
