we headed to Savannah with 5 kids. it is only about a 2 hr drive from my house. we went to Paula Deen's restaurant for lunch, hung out by the fountain for a bit and took a trolley ride around town. It wasn't the easiest day for me, but the town was beautiful! the historic district is planned so in the center of every block of houses is a park, and usually a fountain or statue. the weather was great!
While there a few funny stories. Ellie was having a rough time, so i fed her a bottle and she was almost asleep. so I fed her a bit more to try and knock her out. bad idea. she fell asleep so i put her over my shoulder and she vomited EVERYWHERE! it was awesome. my hair, down my back, on the chair and yes, straight into my purse!
Warning: long story to follow. After our incident at Paula Deens we headed to catch a trolley to tour around town. I headed to the car to put stuff away and Carrie was behind me. she saw the bus to take us to the trolley and told me to hop on and she would feed the meter and be right there. So i grabbed my four kids and told the driver "my sisters coming, she's paying the meter" and attempted to sit at the back of the bus. well, the doors closed and off he went. without Carrie and Finn. i thought he was just driving around the block like he had done to pick us up but no. he kept going. he stopped to pick up some ladies and I asked if we could go get my sister we left, he said "no, i can't go back" I'm thinking... ok now what? i call her. no answer, text no answer. so I ask the ladies who got on where I was headed. they said i wasn't even on the right bus for what I wanted to do and the "it was a holiday we didn't need to pay the meters, i'm sorry darling, you lost your money" i'm thinking. who cares about 4 bucks, where is Carrie?? so i got off at the ticket station and there was a real trolley about to head out. I told it to go ahead because I wanted to wait for my sister and the workers informed me it was the last one of the day... Great! My phone rang while I was trying to figure out what to do with some random 214 # and luckily i answered it. It was Carrie. she had closed the car doors with her phone inside. I arranged to pay for her ticket and have the trolley go pick her up. but when we got there. there was no Carrie. some bus told her to get on and they would find US? talk about disorganized!! and with no phones to call each other. so a bus did catch up with us and Carrie ran on and was like "Why did you leave me!" not as funny of a story to write, but it was hilarious! the bus drivers was stupid, the Trolley drivers were rude. and we had no cell phone to communicate. all in all we went on a trolley ride. Carter and Ellie fell asleep and it all worked out. but it was so funny!
