Savannah, Georgia, 11-12 August

Savannah is the most beautiful city we have seen in the South. It is everything we hoped it would be, with tree lined streets and beautiful architecture. I’d like to tell you that it was a relaxing trip to get here from New Orleans but that was not the case. We experienced our first flat tire on our road trip and spent a few hours waiting to get it fixed after limping it to a local Walmart on its spare.

Thankfully we are staying at a beautiful house in Savannah (check it out atwww.VRBO.com/155961), which is a great change from hotel rooms. It made it easy to relax and recover from a long day on the road yesterday…..16 hours in all.

Despite being hot and humid Dan and I spent our day walking around the historic center of the city taking in the beauty of the oak trees with Spanish moss draping delicately from their branches. With no real plan in mind we just wandered the streets, city squares and local cemetery's and below are just some of the things we saw.

To say we both enjoyed our time in Savannah is an understatement. We wished we could have spent another day or so there, but with more interesting things to see ahead of us and looking forward to catching with Mom and Dad, we left Savannah with fond memories and more relaxed than when we arrived.
