Some times you just have to change your plans..Our plans were to ride out of town today but, things changed..my husband worked until 2:30 and I was stuck for about a hour trying to find something to wear..you ever had one of those days..where you have everything yet, nothing to wear..lol..when mentally you know what you want to wear but, your body is like nope, not today.. I pretty much quoted Jim Carey “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” the entire time…
So, once my husband decided what he would wear..I finally decided on the first outfit I initially started with because it matched his (yes, I’m that wife..lol) but, guess what happened as I sat down in the car to leave..I heard the stitching in my pants give as I sat down..yep, I RIPPED MY PANTS..and, while it wasn’t ripped all the way up..it was enough that I wasn’t about to go out and take a chance and embarrass myself…so, back in the house to change once again..( insert internal cry😥)
In outfit number #311 we finally were on our way…now, the never ending dialogue amongst couples.. ” Where are eating?”…”I don’t know, where you want to go?”…suggestion, suggestion, and some more suggestions…of not saying what you want to eat but, just knowing what you don’t want to eat..until finally you both come to some type of agreement. because all you know or sure is that your hungry…
We settled on going to one of our local islands which is about 20 minutes away from our house…if you’ve never been to St. Simons Island you may just want to look into it..there are lovely hotels, plenty of restaurants with fresh local seafood..shops and also a pier..some have known to retire and relocate here or even own vacation homes..
Our restaurant of choice was “Del Sur”.. Argentinian & Italian Artisan Eats… located at 321 Mallery St..we’ve been here once before and decided to try them out again..this time with out the children who only wanted Chicken Alfredo 😐
I was personally impressed by the cozy atmosphere..it boasts in being an intimate eatery and it does have an outdoor patio..there were all types of people dining from families to singles..and, the attire more semi causal based and locale and decor..it has an open kitchen for cooking viewing at the bar..multiple seating tables..it’s not very big and can fill up quickly and only has one shared bathroom…but, the staff was friendly and inviting and the food was delicious..
I decided on the Chicken Piccata and Linguine Sauce since I had Steak last night and he decided on the Lamb with Grilled Vegetables…I’m not a big fan Al Dente pasta but, I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to be…I tend to overcook my pasta..blame it on my childhood we overcook everything to make sure it’s done..lol..he really enjoyed the Lamb..nothing left but, the bones..and they kept the bread and sweet tea coming..
Walking around in the brisk night air we stopped into St. Simons Sweets…where I would usually get ice cream but, not tonight though..lol..and, even if we didn’t get anything it was still a beautiful sight to see..it’s filled with chocolates, caramels, and nostalgia sweets..and plenty of anticipating customers…
And, our last stop was into a shop that is always so well lit and uniquely displayed..”Gallery, Gifts, & Antiques”…we love walking through mentally buying things that we see…lol..my husband said their shop is what happy looks like :)..
If your ever in our neck of the woods maybe you will partake in our little Island…see some sights…get to know some of the locals..or try one of the many restaurants…our pace of life maybe a tad bit slower..but, that just allows you to savor it just that much more..
The South……. Where the tea is sweet…our words are long…the days are warm and our faith is strong
