Savannah, GA is a wonderful, beautiful, and historical city dating back to 1733, almost 100 years after Plymouth Rock. Everywhere you look there are huge live oak trees, some as old as 800 years, draped with Spanish moss. Just like I pictured it!
 |
| Every 3 blocks is a park square with grass, walkways, benches, and big old live oaks that kids can swing on. Some of the branches on these trees are 30 feet long. Amazing that they've lived this long. Cars have to drive around the center, sort of like a square round-about. Very quaint! |
 |
| This building was where the Girl Scouts first met. |
 |
| What's Savannah without a stern wheeler river boat. For $20.00 per person, you can ride the Savannah River for an hour. We opted out! |
We walked the board walk and visited a couple of tourist shops. It was a gorgeous day for the occasion.
 |
| Paula Deen has her famous restaurant call Lady and Sons located in an old historical building downtown. If you don't know who she is, she has a southern cooking show on TV. |
 |
| Her restaurant is on the corner and her gift store is next door. Her gift store is filled with kitchen gadgets, pots, pans, and other stuff, all with "Paula Deen" imprinted on every item. She's really made a name for herself. |

| We had a long walk back to our car. Which reminds me about our drive into Savannah. Jim was looking for 4 screws to mount our new bedroom fan. I programmed "navagal" to look for a hardware store in Savannah. Well, we drove through all the back streets, first left, then right and we thought navagal had lost her mind (way). We were driving through a residential neighborhood when she said, "you have reached your destination". Something must be wrong!!?? Here, nestled between apartment houses was this little "gift and hardware" store. We parked and went in.....low and behold the owner had most everything we needed. She said we could park in front of her store and walk to town from there, so we did. That small hardware store was meant to be. Saved us $20.00 in parking! |
Another one off my bucket list!
