Georgetown Wooden Boat Show

Love , Love, Love Georgetown!  What a sweet southern town, with adorable homes and porches, beautiful trees lining the streets and it's on the water.  Georgetown is located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Great Pee Dee,  Waccamaw & Sampit rivers.  This place is soooo gorgeous and has a real southern feel, like most small towns around the state.  Mr. Sassafras & I headed down for a day trip to their yearly wooden boat show and had such a wonderful time.  Rather than write a ton about our day...I'll let you see our day in pictures and hopefully it will take you there and give you a taste of our Georgetown southern experience.  The boats were lining the streets for each craft to be admired for its workmanship and beauty.  We lunched at a place that was up the block from the festivities and not as slammed as the restaurants that were in the boat show blocks and right on the water.  Two thumbs up to Aunny's http://www.aunnys.com/ a great lil' southern dive, family run, with delicious fried fish and some serious soul food home cookin. I had a tilapia Po boy, he had a whiting Po Boy, we shared some fried pickles, and took a slice of sweet potato pie for the road. We can't wait to come back!

Below are some pics of the boat show itself, and some boats we admired.

I liked this boat, plus it had my birth sign so I had to get a snapshot.

Simmons Sea Skiff.  Mr. Sassafras has the boat plans for this boat.  Hopes to one day build it.

Below are pictures of our visit to Aunny's Restaurant.  We got to meet Aunny herself, and her high school aged son waited on us.  These pictures capture the ambiance and and the food we ate. See if you can spot Mr. Sassafras.

I wanted to get a picture of the chef without being too obvious.  This guy was quite a character, calling out the orders as they came in, shouting across the dining room to the servers as the food was ready.  It was such an awesome part of the experience.

Below are some pictures we got of our stroll around the neighborhoods to and from the 

boat show.  Sooo charming.

Below was a sweet couple walking ahead of us.  We thought that would be Mr. & Mrs. Sassafras when we got older. So sweet.

And finally, what would a drive through South Carolina be if you didn't see a cotton field?  So steeped with history.
