Saint Patrick's Day in Savannah (Part 1)

For those who don't already know, St. Patrick's Day is huge in Savannah! Over 400,000 visitors flood the streets of Savannah to eat, drink (sometimes too much) and be merry! Well I braved the crowds this year to get all the pictures of everything you missed.

These folks had their Shillelaghs ready!

That's all for now, I've got plenty of pictures to sift through so keep checking back!

Girl Scout season has begun!

For those who don't already know, Savannah is definitely the Girl Scout capital of the world! The founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, was born and raised in Savannah. In fact, the first Girl Scout meeting ever was held on March 12, 1912 right here in Savannah! Well now whenever the air changes from cool to warm the Scouts start to show up in droves.

This brings me to the topic, Savannah Cooks! first girl scout cooking class of the year! The Troop made their way down from Smithfield NC and made us a priority stop. Plus, I'm sure the Scout leaders liked that they could knock out both a meal and an activity at the same time. They chose our delicious Cooking Woks! (Chinese) menu. With temping treats from the far east it was hard to sit in the office once that smell started to fill the air. So I didn't, I took some pictures!

Lucky for me they had some leftovers!
