Savannah Sunshine

Good morning from Savannah!

Bo and I arrived in Savannah Friday around 7pm after a smooth but long day of travel. Within an hour we were sitting over the water at AJ’s Dockside enjoying fresh seafood and cold beer with both families.

045After a good night’s rest and an hour morning workout with my brother, Saturday was a day dedicated to rest and relaxation with my mom. Each year my mom and I enjoy some type of spa treatment together to decompress before the holiday celebrations begin. This year we decided on a full day package at Savannah Day Spa. The package included a facial, scrub, massage, manicure, pedicure and lunch. While the treatments were wonderful, especially the facial, I had a hard time relaxing for that long. I found my mind wandering during the treatments, thinking about all the errands that need to be done for the holidays.

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday and looking forward to some time with friends and family.

Warmth in winter – wrong or not? Do you crave cold weather or warmth over the holidays? White Christmas or white sand?

    See you Monday! We may need to alter our yoga plans… maybe just a coffee!

    White christmas….but I like some sand at some point during the winter!

    Did you really just complain about how you had trouble relaxing for a full day? I’m not trying to be rude, but I think you need a wake-up call. Read what you write and think about how it might come across to those who are less fortunate than you.

      Kate thanks for the feedback! I didn’t mean to sound like that it’s more that I’m so Type A that relaxing is really hard for me!

        Totally get what you’re saying Ashley! I get this feeling during spa visits often…it’s hard to shut down!

        Merry Christmas!

    Can I have snow and cold in the mountains, but warm in the city?

    I actually just moved to North Carolina from Ohio, so I’m getting the warm Christmas this year! I really do not care for snow/ice/cold, so I’m all about the 78 degree Sunday we had 🙂

    LOVE your home shirt – where’s it from?

    • Elisabeth December 23, 2013 / 7:12 pm

    I see you changed the post, but didn’t approve my comment. Classy!

    I don’t like winter that much but over the holidays I definitely want it to be cold. We are visiting family in Florida this year and have enjoyed some time at the beach- I’m not complaining because it has been really nice but I still prefer a cold Christmas 🙂
