from the heArt: snail mail is the best kind of mail

I may be a nerd for this but I will embrace it through and through, I love sending mail. I put on my 101 list to send snail mail and even though this was checked off months ago, I still find delight in sending little fun gifts. The most recently sent mail were Frisbees! 

That's right y'all, you can send anything straight through the mail. Just slap an address on a side and there is goes, sending little love to those dearest to me...

from the heart: number 55

Number 55: whiten my teeth

Yup! No shame! I felt that my teeth looked dingy and I wanted to do something about it! So I got my teeth whitened and knew that I couldn't pass up the chance of getting a photo all set up. I'm not totally sure how much of a change it made, so maybe next I'll try getting a tan to make them shine a little brighter!


from the heART: "road trip somewhere?"

Number 30: Go on a spontaneous trip.

Friday night receiving the text message "Road trip somewhere?" How could I possibly say no? My response, "Savannah!" So we did. 

Cheryl and I left the next morning at 8:00 am and headed on down. No plans, no worries. We found a hotel, checked in, then off we went to explore the city, with our to-go-cup sangria's in hand of course. We ventured to Wormsloe Plantation where the entrance is lined with 1.5 miles of oaks which we deemed "Wormsical". Once of my favorite things, is when there is a canopy of trees that meet in the middle. Wormsloe indeed had this going on and quickly became one of my favorite places. From there we made our way to Tybee beach and followed the "turtle" signs which lead us to a fun little lighthouse.

We went to dinner at VinnieVanGoGo's which was a recommendation of my favorite older sister, who lived in Savannah for four years while attending SCAD. It did not disappoint and I could have eaten loads more than I did! After a quick rest and change, we headed out for the night to explore River Street. 

Sunday we grabbed some lunch at Zunzi's and it could have been the best sandwich ever! Then went to the candy factory for some sweets before shopping. It was a spontaneous trip that couldn't have gone better had we tried to plan. Living in Charlotte with so many fascinating cities within a four hours drive has really been lovely to just go and explore! I fear becoming to set in my ways and being able to travel with good friends in new places is always a wonderful break from the day to day life that is so easy to become accustom.
