Kiki and Papaw Duke came to visit us in Savannah this weekend! They got here Friday afternoon and we've been on the go ever since. Friday night we had a yummy dinner at Spanky's on Tybee then headed home to watch the Cardinals play. Since they lost that game (boo) we get to watch another game tonight (yay!). Saturday morning we did a little shopping and Kiki bought Bryce a football Tee and some rubber bases for the backyard. After a delicious lunch at Vic's on the River we came home and he played sports all afternoon in the backyard. He is turning into quite the sports nut.
CeCe just loves being outside where the action is. Saturday night we watched the Bulldogs pull out their 7th victory of the season!! GO STATE!!
This morning we headed back downtown and took a Trolley tour of downtown. I did this when my friend Holly and her mom came in town and thought it was a great way to see most of downtown and learn a good bit of history too. Of course our history buff was super excited!!
And our diva along for the ride enjoyed herself too! It was a little chilly early on so I grabbed the blanket we keep in the Yukon for picnics and she cuddled up to Papaw Duke for most of the ride!
We stopped at City Market and then walked to Broughton for lunch.
Waiting for a shuttle to take us to the Cathedral
There was a mass going on at the Cathedral the first time we tried to go in so we went up one stop and walked around the Colonial Park Cemetary. Bryce loves a good cemetary.....lots of dates to look at.
CeCe felt brave and climbed this tree. She kept reminding Bryce how she was brave....and he wasn't!!
After the cemetary we went back to the Cathedral and it was BEAUTIFUL! I didn't take pictures in there though, didn't feel right. Even though we aren't Catholic, Bryce left a dollar and lit a candle. We talked about it before he lit it and I told him what it was for and asked him who he wanted to light the candle and pray for, he thought and real quickly said "Uncle Charles". My sweet boy.
Since we had walked so much since lunch, we all decided it was time to check out the famous ice cream parlor downtown, Leopolds. It was worth the long line. Delicious ice cream. CeCe had her first 'ice cream comb' and loved every bite of it.
Great way to spend a beautiful fall day in Savannah, GA!

Please give my sweet boy Bryce a big hug from AUnt Sandra. The fact that he remembers Charles, and remembered him in the Cathedral in such a special way tugs at my heart. As you well know, Charles loved that boy too!! Loved all those children more than he'd ever admit!!! I have tears of joy pouring down my cheeks because of Bryce Duke. Please tell him how much I loved what he did, and that I'm quite sure Uncle Charles knows it too.
Love, Aunt Sandra
Sweet Bryce!!!! Wow - they have both grown up so much! Beautiful and handsome as always! Love and miss y'all!!!
OK, I teared up about Uncle Charles. And I laughed out loud about CeCe taunting Bryce! Sounds like a fun weekend!
