Day 1 (Sunday) in Savannah, Ga.

Well we are in for the night, staying at the Holiday Inn Express off of I-95 S in Richmond Hill (just outside of Savannah). HI knows how to treat Travel Agents, so I always enjoy staying with this chain for short stays.

We left Austell about 12:45 and rolled into the hotel about 5:00 p.m.  (after I took us to the wrong one first - ok, well, technically it was Lola (our GPS), so yeah, I'm blaming Lola on that one).  Got settled in and then left for dinner at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House and Seafood at 6:00 p.m.

Remember McKayla Maroney's not so impressed face?

Well that is how Dennis and I (and maybe Seth) felt after eating at Uncle Bubba's.   I thought being kin to Paula Dean, that good cooking, no let me re-phrase that, excellent food, would be the theme of the evening, but mine and Seth's crab cakes were just mediocre, not bad, not great.  Dennis had a seafood platter and his oysters were good, but nothing else was outstanding. Kelsi and Kristi split a seafood platter and liked it, but not much quantity... Lauryn liked her kids shrimp basket and the other kids had the standard, chicken and fries:  Overall.... Not Impressed.  Probably wouldn't go back.

On a brighter note - we did see the cutest little hat in the restaurant store for our Bubba - it had "little Bubba" stitched on the front.  I may have to get him one for Christmas. 

Back in the hotel, everyone is ready for bed and tomorrow - we are OCEAN BOUND - YAY!!  everyone is so excited (well, except Bop, and he's just excited he is with us)!
Talk to ya'll tomorrow

Night
