Savannah

Marcus and I were invited by another couple to go eat at The Melting Pot in Savannah this past Friday night. We had never been, so we were excited to try a fondue restaurant. If you've never been to The Melting Pot, it is definitely an experience! The waiters make the fondue at the table and you get to cook your own main dish meats in the fondue pot. It is also a LOT of food, which was somewhat surprising to me. I guess I assumed fondue would be just cheese and chocolate, both of which I could eat a ton of and still want more. :)

We went with the Classic Four Course meal for two. Yep, you read right, FOUR courses. It starts out with a cheese fondue course, then a salad. After that comes the main meal, which you cook in the pot in either an oil or a broth of your choice and it included everything from top sirloin to chicken to shrimp and even ahi tuna. Finally comes the dessert course, which was your choice of a variation of melted chocolate. We had milk chocolate, peanut butter, and rice krispies, all melted together, so it was almost like a peanut buttery Crunch bar. It was delicious, and they give you strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, brownie bites, red velvet cake bites, and mini rice krispy treats to dip in the chocolate.

Seriously, I still wasn't hungry when I woke up the next morning! :)

On Saturday, we made a trip back to Savannah to get Taylor a leotard and her "princess shoes." Once we got there, the lady helping us out got Tay everything she needed and we headed back to the dressing room. We weren't in the market for a tutu, but I couldn't resist after seeing this:

I mean, seriously? How cute is that? So, we bought it. :)

After that, we decided to make a trip to Bass Pro Shops so Daddy could look around and finally get the bridge gaff that he's been wanting for the past year. It was so crazy, while we were there, we ran into Michael! So I snapped a pic of him and Marcus together:
