Perfect Getaway

This post is WAY overdue but as summer is wrapping up I've been one busy bee doing this and that trying to complete my endless to do lists. This week I've managed to catch an AWESOME summer cold. Go me!

Anywho, as you all know I flew to Georgia to visit one of my very best friends, miss Katey! I had never been to Augusta before so I was excited to see what all was in store for me! I shopped till I dropped, ate till I couldn't eat anymore, met some wonderful people, and the highlight of my trip was.....meeting BEAUTIFUL baby Savannah!

I was a newbie to A LOT of things this trip! Of course we went to the mall and shopped at the stores we usually always do, for instance: FOREVER 21 (I'm obsessed). What I became even more obsessed with is a store in Augusta called Uptown Cheapstake. You can buy, sell, or trade clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry you name it! The prices made my jaw drop to the floor. I found my mom a White House Black Market winter sweater, brand new for $3.00.  For those of you who aren't familiar with black house black market, you can't find anything under $50 in that store. I was escatiic. Let's just say I ended up going back later in the week for round two!

I also tried out a fast food restaurant called, Zaxbys. Talk about the BEST chicken, sauces, and SWEET TEA (I couldn't get enough).  I also couldn't get enough of a local restaurant called Yosko (it's almost exactly like our local Hibachi/Taste of Asia) but MUCH much cheaper! Thank God Augusta is 8 hours away. If I lived there it wouldn't be pretty. Amazing food.

Katey is a nanny for a wonderful family and I'm so jealous of her job. She gets to spend her days with a beautiful young baby that I absolutely fell in love with. 

Meet Baby Savannah. Is she not perfect?



And here is my sweet Kate before our dinner at Yosko! 


It was a wonderful, much needed week spent with great people. I have a feeling I'll be visiting Augusta much more often! Nothing sweeter than the south!

  1. Zaxby's is my favorite place on the planet. I visit Lawrenceville, GA every June and always have Zaxby's chicken & fried mushrooms at least 3-4 times while I'm there.
