Photos from the trip down south will be coming soon (I have to sort through about 160 photos). In the meantime, remember the daffodils? This is what we came home to:


The weather was great the whole time (sunny and 80ºF in both Savannah and Charleston, though Charleston had a nice breeze) and we enjoyed a lot of outdoor dining. It totally stunk to walk off the plane in MKE to 44ºF...

We also learned three lessons on this trip:
  1. No more vacations to a large destination at the end of April where we have to do all the planning. Chip didn't have much time or energy to help with plans and I felt overwhelmed trying to make decisions.
  2. Just because a hotel is cheap doesn't mean it's a good deal.
  3. We both need to write down itineraries beforehand and discuss them. We missed out on a restaurant because Chip didn't write the address correctly and I didn't double check it. The one we ate at was really good, though, so it wasn't all bad.
And I had to throw this picture in for my sister (I didn't have a slice, though, as there were lots of other goodies to try)--this is at the Charleston branch of Baked:

That looks a little more nicer than ours. But I bet ours tasted just as good!

I just noticed the cost of that cake! Wow!

Yeah, I think that's the other reason I didn't get a slice--who knows how big it would have been for that much $ ... we barely managed to eat the thin slices!

We never added up our total cost, though. And I wonder if ours tasted better--fresher.

lovely daffodils! and sweet and salty cake sounds scrumptious....

And it's been fun 'harvesting' the flowers--they tend to droop after a day or two, so I have several vases full in the house right now!
