October is always a fun month b/c we both have out birthdays and our anniversary. This year we celebrated both by going to St. Simon's Island. We decided to stay at The King and Prince. So Friday evening we headed out to Brunswick. We had a great ride. Brian made us a cd with music we BOTH like. Our taste in music is so different, but there are some songs we agree on so we just mixed those up and got them on a cd. Brian has gotten me to venture out a little and listen to some "new" stuff. I still can't get him to listen to my Disney cd's though! So we listened to our new cd and talked. It was a fun ride. I love road trips with Bri!! We always have good laughs and conversation.
I put a picture of the building our room was in down at the bottom of the entry. You can see our room on the bottom floor right behind our car. The hotel had a main building and then several separater buildings around it. We were in the Oglethorpe House. The room was not right on the water but close. It was a big room with a little kitchenette. You could tell it was old though with the musty smell and older tub and faucets. It hadn't been updated in a while BUT it was SO cozy! We could get the room dark in the afternoons which means it was a great room for the perfect nap!
We ate delicious food while we were there and the shopping was excellent. There was a cute little village area with cute stores and restaurants close by. The weather while we were there was PERFECT... chilly but sunny!!! Great for walking. And the water was beautiful, so sparkly in the sun. One morning while waiting for the brunch to start at the hotel, we sat in a swing on the lawn right off the beach and looked at the water. It was incredibly relaxing. It really was one of the most relaxing trips we've had. I don't know why that was. But it's one for the history books! I'm so thankful that we've been able to take many trips together. I love getting away with him, alone, without the stresses of work around him and on his mind. It's nice to just be able to concentrate on one another. I know Brian's thankful for that too. It's easier to do that I'm sure when there aren't kids running around. So I know things will change soon. We want to enjoy this last bit of time just the two of us by doing as much of that sort of things as we can. But it was just a wonderful trip and I'm grateful that we got to go. Here are some pics! Enjoy.

I didn't know you were going to SSI! I knew you were going on a trip, but that was all. You know we used to go there every summer while John prosecuted. I coulda given you some hot tips! I love SSI... it's very pretty and the food is good, too. We've never been to the Crown and Prince, though, it was a bit too far away for our needs.
Sounds FUN!
