Savannah

 Back in February (or the beginning of March, I can't remember!) we went on a trip to visit Savannah, Georgia for a few days.  Marc had business and we decided to travel with him to do a little Georgia History!

We took a ride on the Savannah River.  It was such a beautiful day!

 

Walking along River Street.

 

We walked miles, and miles, and miles while we were there.

No, we didn't see Paula Deen. :o)

There is so much history in this city from both the Civil War and the Revolutionary War!

 

And of course, we hit the hotel gym at night. (As if the walking wasn't enough! :o)

 

Madeline is much better with directions than I am, so she was our map reader when Marc was in meetings.

 

This was the cemetery with Revolutionary War graves and monuments.  It was interesting to me that this cemetery looked newer and was better kept than the Civil War cemetery.  My uneducated conclusion was that it was a more popular war, but who knows.... I just found it interesting!

Mariah studied GA History this year and it was neat to see her excitement when she would recognize names that she had studied!

 

The little guys were fascinated with the statues with swords!

 

The one day we decided to ride out to the beach it was FREEZING!

 

 

Huddled up together for one last cold, windy picture before we left the beach!

 

Myles and Macheus loved watching the traffic from our hotel room window.

Our last day there we went to Laurel Grove Cemetery.  This is where many confederate graves are and lots of slave graves.  It was one of my favorite things we saw while there.

 

I'm not a fan of Girl Scouts, but it was neat to see Juliette Low's house and read some of the history.

Savannah is one of my favorite cities to visit.  There's lots of history, neat things to do and beautiful homes to see!
