We FINALLY Made it to SEASIDE

It took FOREVER for October 8th to come. But once it got here, it was gone faster than I can say yakahikamikadola! Our long weekend getaway (10/8 - 10/11) is a thing of the past. But it is forever imprinted on my heart. That's exactly what Seaside does to me - makes impressions and pulls on my heart strings. We had a quaint house on Savannah Street, three short blocks from the Town Square (or as I call it, the "horseshoe" because of its shape). I took too many pictures, but I will share a few of my handyworks. I can tell you this... I won't be waiting another 19 months before we make our next Seaside trip. March 2009 until October 2010 is way tooooo long. I'm going to reminisce now...

One Year Anniversary Dinner

I found this pic on Jason's old cell phone, which now belongs to my pal Megan. She saved a few pics on there for me so that I could later email them to myself. Well, I just got around to doing it today... a few months later. This is a photo of the beautiful *and romantic* sunset during our one-year anniversary dinner at Fish Out of Water Restaurant in Seaside/Water Color, taken March 15, 2009.

I will share a little about our experience at the restaurant. I was working at Sweet Grass Dairy at the time of our vacation. I knew the head chef Phil Krajeck since he always bought cheese from us. I told him ahead of time that Jason and I were coming and told of how excited I was to be able to sample his cuisine.

When Jason and I arrived at the restaurant, a gentleman named Jay welcomed us. Before I even told him my name, he asked, "Are you Mrs. Beggs?" That caught me off guard a bit, but I just figured that the restaurant crew was on top of their reservation list. Jay then preceded to ask me and Jason if it was okay for us NOT to order off the regular menu... because Chef Phil wanted to cook several courses for us as he pleased. How were we to turn down this offer? We agreed to this wonderful request. We were seated and greeted by our waitor.

After sitting at the table (window front... beautiful, large window front, might I add) for only a few minutes, lo and behold, Chef Phil came walking around the corner! I was so pleased to see him because I know how busy restaurant kitchens can be. Phil was very welcoming and pleased to have us, especially on mine and Jason's one year anniversary. He could only chat for a couple of minutes before he had to get back in there to work his culinary magic.

And magic it was! Course after course after course, all things local, organic, fresh, and delicious! It was really neat to watch Jason enjoy this type of food. It was his first time in a restaurant like this. (Not to boast, but I have had a little more experience with great restaurants due to traveling and dining while working for Sweet Grass Dairy.) It has been over a year since we were there, and I hope to get to dine there again soon. Next time, I won't tell Chef Phil that we're coming. Jason and I felt like royalty the whole three hours we were there. I made sure to send Phil and crew a thank you letter once I got back home. I felt so undeserving. Jason and I will never forget that experience. (Apparently not, since I'm just now writing about it over a year later!) THANKS, CHEF PHIL!

Two Weeks Remaining to Vote, Vote, Vote!

Vote, Vote, Vote, Goat, Coat, Boat. Makes no sense, but let me tell ya what DOES make sense. Okay, so Thomasville is pretty much amazing. Now that we have this established, I would like to elaborate a little on a specific historic home in Thomasville that is also uhhh-mazing. It's called the Lapham-Patterson House, and it happens to be classified as one of Georgia's State Parks.

So here's the deal... the LP House needs YOUR help. How so, you may be asking yourself. It has recently been shut down and closed to the public due to much needed repairs but not enough funds. Here is where you come in... Coca-Cola has graciously set aside $100,000 to the state park in the US that gets the most votes on their website. About a week ago, I believe, the LP House was in third place!!! But the past few days have left me biting my nails since it dropped down to fifth place.

You may be wondering why I care so much about this dang campaign. Well, to tell you the truth, I can't pinpoint any particular reason. But I do know this, it is one of Thomasville's treasures. It needs our help. And I want to help however I can. If you feel like you would also like to help, here is how to do so. Click this link and vote as many times as you please until August 31st. If you would like to learn more about the Lapham-Patterson House, check out this website. Thanks for hearing me out. Now go vote. (p.s. It helps to turn on your pop-up blocker and your caps lock.)

Enough already with Seaside... at least for now!

Okay... I can take a few deep breaths. I can stop being so dang obsessed with my dreamin' of Seaside mumbo jumbo. You know why????? BECAUSE WE BOOKED A HOUSE THERE IN OCTOBER!!!!!! Hallelujah. Now I can start blogging about other topics, I think. Looks like I'll be testing the waters there for a long weekend in October. I've never been to the beach in Fall, so here's to trying something new. The past few years my husband and I have gone to Seaside, it's been in early Spring. (Well, I take that back. I went in the summer one time with my family.) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather in October will equivalate our previous trips always taken in March.

I believe I will share a few pictures of our weekend getaway house, Snail's Pace.
