Activities from Savannah to Washington's House
On a late night in Savannah Georgia we went on a GHOST TOUR! We walked around to all these "haunted" places. Heard stories about them and took pictures to see if we could "see" anything. Sadly it wasn't as spooky as we were hoping for. It was still cool to hear the scary stories associated with all the houses and spots we went to. This house was one of the places we were looking for something.. haha.
We also went out to Tybee Island and rented bikes! Single bikes and 2 tandem bikes! We rode on the beach all the way down to the lighthouse. While enjoying the beautiful weather! We loved how warm it was!
Swang on the beach chairs. :)
Boys fed the seagulls and black birds... the black birds would come and snatch it right out of their hands! The seagulls were always too scared, but would get close!
Yay Lighthouse!!
My dad using his super power!!!
Must always have a jumping picture.
Went Bowling... Brad's game face!
My game face... I was J-Woww! haha, hence the "W"
We drove up to Virginia once we finished our days in savannah. In Richmond, Virginia we visited Thomas Jeffersons house. His house was my favorite out of all the houses we saw. He had so many little things around his house that made it so cool.
Tori and I were roommates again!! So we resorted back to old habits of playing on our bed. :) We were trying to get our legs up at the same time, but I think we were too scared to hit each other.
The next day we drove to Washington DC to see George Washington's house! He had a fantastic view and this adorable carraige! I would love to stroll around in this!
This was the dock created in more recent years, but he had a path down to the river back in the day.
This was my favorite... called the Necessary! Read the description below! :) Definately Necessary!! These were located outside of the house.

Savannah Georgia
The day after Christmas we started our drive up the Coast in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah was B-E-A-Utiful! It's a very historic city with about 25 squares throughout the city. So we spent one day just walking some of the squares. All the squares had amazing trees and some monument in the middle.
We also went to this fun kitchen shop, this was my favorite item. The dude as a knife holder... haha. Probably wouldn't own it, but a cool idea.
We walked around Forsyth park. This fountain was the main center of the park.

Surrounding Forsyth park were cute vintage houses.
This is the house that General Sherman stayed in when he came down to the south.
This is the view from the top of our hotel. The bridge led you right into South Carolina.
We took a drive around Bonaventure cemetery. Lots of old-old graves. This particular one was of litle Gracie. The artist sculpted her after she was dead from a photograph and then put this life size sculpture on her grave. She died when she was just about 6, from Pneumonia.
There were some big tombs, like in Phantom of the opera. You could look through the stained glass and see a couple cement coffins with writing on them. Spooky!!
Ahhhhh, just look at those trees!!! Love it!!
We walked past this balcony many times... how funny! :)
More to come from our vaca. soon!!

Atlanta Christmas
Pictures are kind of scattered, but that's how it is... sorry! 
We went to Atlanta for Christmas again this year. Last year with Tori and Connor home!! CRAZY! So here's a quick catch up of our first week in Atlanta. We went to the Atlanta Temple... Had a Charley Brown Christmas Tree this year. :) Drooled over my mom's decorations

Wore my favorite Christmas shirt made by Tori! :) The front says "All I want for Christmas is You" which is our favorite song, duh... The back says "Naughty Snow" inside joke. We really know how to brush our teeth.

The boys made and decorated the gingerbread house. It was the house of the sour patch kids, and the gummy bears were taking over! With toothpicks and torches. (real matches) haha It turned out awesome for about 15 seconds when all the marching gummy bears had flames!
The girls made the delicious desserts... Fudge, Sugar cookies, peanut butter cups, and Oreo truffles.
Christmas Eve party on the couch...
Christmas Day we went to church, had a present scavenger hunt, opened presents, mozzied around, ate delicious Christmas Ham and Rolls!! (First time they actually turned out close to how they are suppose to.) We also played Bananagrams (Thanks Naomi:), and watched Elf. Fantastic Christmas! (Brad lost in Bananagrams in this picture, poor boy)
I also found Ginger Beer at a local market, from Canada! We've been looking for some authentic Ginger Beer, that would match what Brad had on his mission. So when I saw that this was from Canada I had to get it for him!
