Paula Deen's, y'all!

Okay, so the in laws made it in yesterday. They came to the post around 4:00 - we drove around post, went out to dinner and showed off the house.

Today was Nathan's last day of school, which featured a banana split party (yea, for the sugar rush......) Anyway, there's a picture from the party, plus the award he got from his teacher. Note the reason: "The most unusual and broad information." That's my boy! :)

We met up with the in laws for lunch at Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons. Now, in order to eat there, one must show up at the restaurant at 8:30 in the morning, to get the reservation time for later that day. So the sister-in-law and her hubby stood in line for 20 minutes or so to get a 1:00 time. We all chose to eat off the buffet (except for Nathan, who since he already ate lunch at school and had the banana split, chose not to eat, and instead played his gameboy the entire time we were there).

Word of warning - there is no margarine, no skim milk, no canola oil in the cooking. It's all FAT, baby! Everything was wonderful and tasty and you'd take your first bite and think, this is heaven in my mouth! And you'd keep eating because goshdarnit, it's Paula Deen's and this is 'an event'! And then by the end, you're groaning asking yourself, why did I eat all this? By the time you get to the chocolate gooey butter cake or the homemade peach cobbler, you have to be rolled out the door.

My father-in-law and Nathan decided to retire to their hotel. The rest of us took an historic trolley tour. I thought it was very entertaining, but the guide would drone on about housing prices in the historic district. Now, apparently I need to check out "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" to truly appreciate it all.

We got back to the hotel and found Nathan playing in the pool. Tomorrow the beach!
