thankful thursday # 13.

my husband spoils me.  a lot.  & i am very thankful for that.

& him, of course.

the first two nights in savannah, we stayed at the hyatt regency hotel.  it was right on the river & thus right around everything in historic downtown.  fancy!

{from the roof top patio.

+ fun with camera settings :)}

{the view of the river & a HUGE barge from our hotel bar}

{the bridge from savannah to south carolina 

from our hotel roof deck}

the second part of the trip was the original reason we went to savannah.  the mansion on forsyth.  one of, if not the, nicest hotels we have ever stayed in.  it is right on forsyth park & absolutely gorgeous.  

we found a great deal on luxury link.  have you heard of this website??  you should absolutely check it out.

{i.love.this.headboard.

someday i hope we can get one.

& the cool view from the bathroom into the bedroom}

{crystal chandeliers in the hallway}

{checking out the back patio & water fountain into the pool}

{pop art lines the hallways.

we think i looked like this chick.}

700 draytaon, the mansion's restaurant which i told you about yesterday, is one of the top places to visit in savannah.  the restaurant was the original mansion & the hotel was actually built onto the restaurant using the same style.  it was amazing.  the food was fabulous & the decor was even more.

where we ate dinner.

blake loved the kudu.}

{we both loved these orange side tables}

{fun with the ornate white chairs.

we should get one to go with our ornate white headboard someday.}

the hotel lobby & bar were equally fabulous.  in addition to the walls & walls filled with paintings, one hallway was adorned with old hats + a description, era, and event one would wear the hat to.  i loved the wedding hats.  of course :)

it was a trip of a lifetime.  to beautiful savannah.  i do hope you can go & see the sites & eat the food.

oh, did i mention they have a huge st patty's celebration each year?  friends, schedule it now for 2012.

& i hope you can think of something for which you are thankful today.

love love,

kjp.
