Idyllic Chick

In just a couple of hours C&I will be off to Savannah for the weekend. C's dad, Dave, lives there, and it's always fun to go visit. Dave has lived there for quite a while, and has many friends, most of them in the pub business. It's so relaxing to walk around the parks, stop for a beer and a bite, then walk around a little more. I'll definitely be checking out a yarn shop or two, and will try to remember to blog from the road. I hope the weather holds out for us.

Savannah is a hot spot for St. Patrick's Day. Apparently it kind of turns into a New-Orleans-at-Mardi-Gras type of town for the weekend, what with no laws against open container alcoholic beverages. Chris' dad lives on the second story of an old house at the edge of Forsyth Park. His balcony overlooks the parade route, so we'll have prime seats the whole weekend long.

We'll be staying at Park Avenue Manor , across the park from Dave. It looks like a great mix of historic and tacky. Perfect for me! I can't wait to knit for a bit in the little garden, and in the sitting room. Free sherry and brownies are provided! I don't think I've drank sherry before, but I would venture to guess that they won't have the free sherry policy once I've stayed there for two nights!

Have a good weekend, everyone!
