"What Is A Weekend?"

Last weekend my mom introduced me to the wonderful show Downton Abbey. If you haven't heard of it, quickly go to PBS.org and check it out! To quote one of my favorite characters, Dowager Countess of Grantham, "What is a week-end?". Well, Dowager Countess, a weekend is my favorite part of the whole week and Miguel and I spent Saturday morning enjoying it thoroughly! 

To start, we headed down the street to Thunderbolt and took some pictures of the shrimping boats and dock. We love our new lens! Thanks again Amadors! We hadn't spent time down by the water in a few months and it was so nice to soak it all in again. The weather was so perfect too! A January day in the 70's! 

I did some construction work while we were taking pictures too... thought I'd help out a little, you know?

Next we headed on to the farmers market at Forsyth Park. Miguel and I like to go there every Saturday morning and pick up some local greens and meat. This week we picked up some eggs that we just scrambled this morning. YUM! We also picked up some potatoes and cherry tomatoes that we are planning on making a meal out of tonight!

After the farmers market each weekend, we head to Zunzi's for our traditional Saturday lunch. We had some time to kill before it opened so Miguel and I walked around Forsyth Park and enjoyed the nice weather for a bit. We still had the camera with us from the marina so I snapped a few pictures.

I love all the Spanish Moss that hangs from the trees here in Savannah!

The weather was so nice and there was just a really good vibe and energy in the park yesterday! I want everyone to visit Savannah and experience the park on a good Saturday morning! I think it would be very hard not to fall in love with the city after such a visit! Families hung out enjoying the play ground and riding their bikes, SCAD students were filming, people read books on the benches, and there was a Zumba class taking place at the pavilion.

This picture makes us look like we were the only people in the park =) I just keep thinking how much fun the dogs would have if they had free reign to run here!

After lunch (OMG YUM!) Miguel and I took our traditional after Zunzis nap and slept really well and hard! After we woke up with took the dogs to the new dog park. The dogs always have so much more fun when Miguel goes with them because he plays with them much more than I do. 

The park was really busy! Everyone was enjoying the nice Spring Winter weather! Jack is always more social at the dog park and Emma seems more interested in chasing tennis balls or running around investigating things.

Miguel, the dogs and I really enjoyed our Saturday! Ughhhh, why do Sundays always come so fast?!? I'm going to stop blogging now and try to enjoy the last day of the weekend! It's rainy here today, so it looks like it may be a lounge in PJ's and watch movies sort of day! Happy weekend everyone!!!

The dogs and I ventured out today to check out a new dog park that opened up right around the corner! They loved it! It's shady and has loads and loads of space to run around. I tried to snap some pictures of them playing, but Jack was really just to quick and busy running around to let me get many of him. 

Look at all that space!

I'm looking forward to taking Emma and Jack here more in the future! So much fun!
