Greetings from Brooklyn!
Bo and I arrived back in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon after a wonderful holiday week in Savannah with family. We relaxed on the couch with The Martian, the warm glow of our Christmas tree lights, a nice bottle of red wine, and our favorite white chicken chili.
Instead of giving you a play by play recap of our time in Savannah, I’ll give you an overview with pictures. This trip was like many of our other holiday trips to Savannah: we split our time between Bo’s parents house and my parent’s house while also enjoying some of our favorite Savannah activities. The only difference this year was that our family gatherings grew! My aunt and uncle drove down from Chapel Hill for the week and Russel’s family, The Millers, drove down from Milwaukee to join in the holiday festivities and see Savannah for the first time. Bo’s sister Meg is marrying Russell in May so the holiday week provided the perfect opportunity to do some wedding planning as well as celebrate Christmas together as an extended family. While it isn’t always easy blending 15 different people together, while trying to respect each family’s holiday traditions, it ended up being a wonderful holiday.
Two Christmas tree decorating sessions with my mom
Nine types of cookies baked
One Fried Turkey on Christmas Eve
One Beef Tenderloin on Christmas Day
One sunset boat ride
Two historic homes toured
One dockside lunch including fresh seafood and afternoon beers
One afternoon skeet shooting session
Six workouts including three with my brother
Looks like an awesome trip, Ash! It’s great you can have all the families together for the holidays too 🙂 Hope your staycation this week is just as great! xoxo, Jenna
