His Christmas present to me was a trip to Savannah. We were supposed to go up for New Years Eve and spend the weekend there. Unfortunately, we only made it half way to Savannah before he received a call from work that meant he'd have to come back and deal with a problem. But, he wasn't going to be able to do anything about the problem until the engineer's office re-opened on Friday anyway, so he decided we'd still go up to see in the New Year.
After enjoying the street party on New Years Eve, we spent hours and hours on New Years Day just walking through Savannah. It was cold, but sunny and with our coats buttoned up and a cup of coffee it was beautiful.
Every corner you turn has another beautiful building, statute or plaque explaining the history that occurred right where you are standing. Often, it has all three. I couldn't resist taking picture after picture of the beautiful buildings. This is the Congregation Mickve Israel, founded by Jewish settlers who arrived in Savannah in 1733. They received a letter of congratulations from George Washington when they were later "founded in perpetuity."
We had a great day, with a bit of romance and alot of fun. Alex was able to set aside the mess waiting for him at work until he could actually do something about it, and I was able to enjoy the time we had without regretting it was being cut short. It's a great way to start off the New Year, and if it means that in 2009 we'll be able to roll with the punches and focus on one another I'm all for it.

However, we're already planning for a chance to spend more time in Savannah. I'm calling this our reconnaissance mission. It definitely deserves more time, and we'll be going back.
