Oh, Sweet Savannah

Daily Lesson:

There is never a "perfect" time to vacation. There will always be too much work to do or never enough money. I say, make time and save money but, don't miss out on quality time with loved ones.

Another great day on day two of our Prince family road trip. We woke up to perfect weather and sights on Jekyll Island. We slept in until 9am and loaded up. We drove to the other side of the massive Driftwood Beach to explore some more. 

         

It was even more breathtaking. We found some driftwood to take home, I was super excited. We got in the car and I went to call my folks when I realized my phone wasn't working. I took the back off to see what the problem was and my battery was gone! Then it came to me, little Miss. Shiloh was taking it apart and playing with it. I know that little booger took it out and hide it some where.

We went back to the hotel and right where she had been playing was a locked storage door with a nice size space where my guess is LBS slide it under the door. So, I have a phone with no battery now. Maybe its God's way of saying no phones on vacation - any hoo we are in search of a T-mobile to get my communication up and running again.



Rah Bar - Jekyll Island



After eating the best seasoned oysters and peel and eat shrimp on the Wharf, we headed towards Savannah.

About 80 miles and a few Outlet malls later, we reached beautiful Savannah. This is the first time either of us have been here and it is much more than we expected. We got settled in to our hotel right on the edge of the Historic District and headed for River Street. So much history and shopping, OH MY!

We stopped in to Paula Deens and picked up a few souvenirs, and continued on a 3-4 mile walk up river side. We were huffing and puffing when we got back to the hotel. The cobblestone did a number on us or maybe it was the Bahama Mama slushies.

We have a trolley pass tomorrow and Sunday to check out the city. Here are a few stops on our list:

1. City Market
2. The Gingerbread House
3. Savannah History Museum
4. Telfair Museum of Art
5. Andrew Low House
6. Forsyth Park
7. Meinhardt Vineyard & Winery (so I wont be so jealous of Buffy being in Nappa)
8. Boutiques & Antique Shops galore!

Because of the Holiday many shops are still closed so, we are really looking forward to our 3 night stay here to explore every nook & cranny of this place.

Tomorrow is the lighting of the Christmas tree in the town square and The River Boat light parade. All the boats are decorated with Christmas lights on display. Should be a good time.

Here are some pictures from today. Many more to come. Going to curl up and watch a movie with the family. Excited for tomorrow.
