This past week/weekend we took our last little vacation during our time here in Jacksonville. We drove up to Augusta to visit family and friends. We stayed with Tim's aunt and uncle and visited with his cousins. We got to shop and have dinner with some friends that still live there from our time when Tim was in medical school. I realized too late that I didn't get any photos of Ella with Big Daddy (Tim's uncle). I think Big Daddy took some though so if I get some from him I will amend the post. We had the best time and Ella just loved Mimi and Big Daddy. We spent a lot of time in all of our old haunts. We went to our favorite restaurants, took a walk on our favorite walking trail on the Savannah River and went to see the old plantation house we were married in. On Sunday afternoon we took a trip an hour east to Columbia to visit some more friends. Ashley and Nicole are pediatricians in Columbia and went to medical school with Tim. We were all in each others' weddings. They just had a baby (Carson) so we got to see him. Once again we didn't take enough pictures, but we had a great time. On the way back to Jacksonville we took a little detour over to Savannah. We used to go there all the time in college and grad school, and it was fun to take Ella down to River Street and show her all the old buildings, the river boats, the pirate ships and shops. We also got some yummy seafood. We had the best trip and we were sad to see it end.

Beautiful Augusta
There are tons of fountains in downtown Augusta. They were all dyed bright green for St. Patrick's day.
This is the Marion Hatcher Center where Tim and I were married!
Columbia (I only took a couple of pictures)
Ella loved to play in baby Carson's room and especially loved his dog chair.
Savannah
This is really hard to see because it is through the windshield of my car, but there are super old staircases like this one all over River Street in Savannah.
You can't see the words, but this is the original Savannah Cotton Company building.
Wouldn't you know that Daniel was in Augusta for St Patty's? Had I known you were there, we would have come too:( SOrry we missed you
