In the Heart of Historic Savannah on a Vacation of a Lifetime

Posted on June 13, 2013 by admin

Janet and Warren outside the Hamilton Turner InnAfter a fun two days on Amelia Island, the next destination on our Vacation of a Lifetime adventure was the beautiful Hamilton Turner Inn  in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia. Our suite was the amazing Noble Jones Suite, which had elegant period furnishings, tall arched doorways and huge 11-foot windows overlooking Lafayette Square.

After some down time, Warren and I headed for dinner at The Olde Pink House, a restaurant recommended by several of our friends.

We walked for about 20 minutes before we realized that we were headed in the wrong direction – but luckily, as hunger loomed, a passing pedicab driver picked us up and took us to the restaurant for a great, and hearty, meal.

School’s out! Amelia Island on a Vacation of a Lifetime

Posted on June 11, 2013 by admin

My school responsibilities ended for the summer on Tuesday afternoon, and by 8:25 on Wednesday morning, Warren and I were on a plane headed to Amelia Island, FL, and Savannah, GA for our next Vacation of a Lifetime adventure. After a bumpy flight and a rainy drive to Amelia Island, we were glad to get to Fairbanks House and a warm welcome from Theresa and Bill Hamilton.

 Our room, The Kitchen Suite, had a private entrance and porch that overlooked the beautiful gardens in the back. After freshening up, it was time for hors d’oeuvres – our choice of wines, shrimp, and a corn salsa with herbs grown from Theresa’s garden enjoyed with people from different parts of Florida, West Virginia, and Ohio.

Vacation of a Lifetime traveler Janet and her daughter at Noble Inns

What better way to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my daughter Micah than at one of the Noble Inns Bed and Breakfasts in the King William District of San Antonio, Texas.

The Garden at Oge House

After a quick flight on Southwest Airlines, we arrived at the Oge House on Friday morning.
We were met by Megan MacDaniel, who showed us our accommodations: the lovely Castle Howard Suite on the first floor. Although the Oge House was built in 1839, the bathroom, especially the huge shower, was definitely 2013 style with 5 pulsing jets. I could have stayed in there for an hour!
