Moving WordPress
I tried that.
When I went to log into wordpress
(http://getawaychic.com/public_html/lovelylemons/wp-admin)
I got an “Oops we couldn’t find this page” message.
When I went to the blog
(http://getawaychic.com/public_html/lovelylemons/)
I got a
Index of /public_html/lovelylemons
Parent Directory
Apache Server at getawaychic.com Port 80.

Changing The Site URL
I’m just looking to move it right now, not change the url.
I think you are looking to change the url. Your current wordpress address in your dashboard is //getawaychic.com/public_html/public_html/lovelylemons
But wordpress is installed at //getawaychic.com/public_html/lovelylemons
Here is your theme style sheet url just to prove it.
//getawaychic.com/public_html/lovelylemons/wp-content/themes/wp_sophocles5/style.css
Have another look at changing the site url from your database.
On top of that, I’m not so sure there should be a public_html directory in your address at all. That should be your web-root directory.
The public_html directory has folders for all the domains associated with the hosting account. There is another site on getawaychic.com that is up and running. Am I wrong in my assumption that after getting the blog to getawaychic.com/public_html/lovelylemons that I will then be able to point the domain, lovelylemons.com there and have it show up in a browser as lovelylemons.com without a redirect?
I’m in the process of getting the password necessary for backing up the databases with myPHPAdmin.
Thanks for the help.

You may want to ask that question in the support group at your hosting service. It surprises me to see public_html being used as a sub-directory in a url. It might be something specific to the way the hosting service has configured things.
For the record –
Utilizing the yourdomain.com/public_html/yourseconddomain/ as the location for a your wordpress install if you want the website to end up as yourseconddomain.com worked in my case with bluehost.
I ended up backing up my mySQL databases, deleting the database associated with the last install of wordpress, deleting the files, reinstalling, and importing files I had exported earlier. I then had some database errors with the new install that I had to talk to bluehost about.
