Savannah Day

We spent yesterday exploring Savannah.  After taking the ferry boat across the Savannah River to the other side, we bought tickets for a 90 minute trolley tour.

The tour took us around Savannah and the tour guide/bus driver told us all about the city and it’s history.

There are 22 squares in Savannah and I felt the need to take pictures of most of them.  Not an easy feat when the bus is moving.

I really liked the Spanish Moss than hung from all the trees.  It had almost a creepy feeling to it, especially at night, but it was cool.

We drove by Paula Dean’s restaurant.  I feel like my cholesterol jumped just looking at it.

After the tour, we had lunch on River Street and then parted ways with my mom and Marty who were attending a wedding.  Jason and spent the evening exploring River Street and City Market.  Jason really wanted to try the Chatham Artillery Punch, which is basically a bunch of liquors mixed with champagne.  I got a Bloody Mary.

You are allowed to walk around with your drinks if they are in plastic cups under 16 oz, so that’s just what we did.  We went into a bunch of stores and art galleries in City Market.

Then I made the really stupid decision of wanting sushi for dinner.  Honestly, I wanted pizza from a pizza place that we kept walking by, but I was trying to be healthier and we ended up with crappy sushi that made my stomach hurt.  Lesson learned.

We called it a night sometime around 10 or 11 and went back to our room, woke up the this morning, dropped my mom and Marty at the airport and drove back to Atlanta.  A very short trip, but it was fun.
