Savannah Smiles

We had such a big "TO Do" list, we had to hit the floor running each morning. That was a little harder to do on day two because our neighbors were up all night partying and kept waking us up. At one point, Stroker said "that's it! I'm going over there and telling them to quieten down!"  

And that's when you know that you are:

I told him not to be "THAT GUY".  He tossed and turned and huffed and puffed the rest of the night, but somewhere in there, he got an ounce of sleep.

Before heading out to Forsyth Park, a random guy knocked on our door and said his app was telling him that his phone was at our cottage. I politely told him that "it must be next door".  That ought to tell you the kind of partying that took place.

Anyway...we walked to Forsythe Park and looked at the fountain. The water had already been dyed green for St. Patrick's day. Apparently, Savannah is one of the nations largest St. Pat's celebrations.

We had lunch in town at a place called B&D Burgers where I tried alligator for the first time (and last). It would have probably been okay if I could have gotten past the idea of what I was eating.

We took the Trolly Tour after lunch because we were tourists and that's what tourists do.

One of my favorite stops was at St. Johns Cathedral

It was absolutely breathtaking both inside and out.

The Trolly Tour was a hop on and off tour, but we mainly stayed on. We mostly just wanted to find out if there was anything we needed to add to our list of things to see.

We made a dash into the Savannah Candy Shoppe on our way back to the car.

That is where Stroker discovered his new love.

The fresh praline cookies were ate up fast.  It didn't spoil his dinner though because we feasted at the Lady and Son's for dinner.

We were almost sick when we left because we ate so much...

Thank goodness we opted for the ghost tour that we could sit down and ride through because we could barely walk from eating so much. 

We did have to get out and tour a couple of stops. One was this haunted house with the creepiest kids room ever.

Brooke and Mary were a little nervous after the ghost tour, so Mary stayed at our place for the night.

The next morning we got a later start since we were still tired from the night of partying neighbors and the late night ghost adventure.

We didn't leave the house till lunch so we headed to an italian place called Corleones Restaurant.

It was okay...not our very favorite though.

We ventured out to Tybee Island for the day.

 

We also spent way too long in a gift shop there.

When we got back into Savannah, we visited the Wormsloe Plantation from the famous scene of Forrest Gump "Run, Forest. Run!"

We took another drive down Jones Street and drove over to the Pirate House for dinner.

Another fun day ending on an overstuffed stomach.

Our last day held one final "must eat" Restaurant.

The Funky Brunch Cafe.

You could even cook your own pancakes in the center of your table.

Brooke wanted to stop by SCAD bookstore to get a shirt after breakfast.

We were wearing down quickly at this point. We had tried to see, do, eat and go to dozens of places over the last several days. 

Home was starting to sound so relaxing.
