Patricia and Chris made it a fun night!
Last week our friends Ed and Chris were down in Hilton Head at their condo for the week. They invited me and Patricia to visit for a couple of days. We have known Ed and Chris since before we were all married. In fact, Ed and I owned a house together in Morristown, NJ, but that is a story for another day!
We started our trip on Sunday afternoon arriving at their condo around 6PM. So on Sunday night we had dinner at the condo. Chris and Patricia put things together and Ed and I did the grilling. Turned out pretty good, I think.
We decided to go to Savannah and enjoy the River Walk late Monday afternoon. Savannah is a beautiful town and the way the city has renewed the area near the river makes it a very comfortable place to walk (there are cobblestones to consider, maybe flat shoes, ladies) and enjoy the sites. River boats ferry guests on short cruises, musicians playing their instruments all along the Walk, and artists working in several different media reminded me of the French Quarter of New Orleans, only smaller.
We walked past the Hyatt Hotel and there was the Rock Bohemian Hotel! The sign at the door invited us to the Top of the Rock. It was a lovely evening and sunset would soon make its appearance, so being on a roof top seemed to be the perfect choice to end our day in Savannah. The hotel is faced with river rocks of various sizes and the floors had a very interesting finish. The lights were eclectic and very attractive. Some had colorful lamp shades of glass, and the chandeliers reflected the local seafood business. They were made with oyster shells hanging at various lengths. How very Bohemian!
We enjoyed appetizers on the roof top as the sun was slowly setting. The food was tasty. The breeze was refreshing. And the company was perfect.
It has been a while since we were with Chris and Ed and a lot of things have happened in our lives. How fitting that we spend an evening enjoying each others company as the river quietly flowed by with us sitting on the Top of The Rock!
