Downtown Savannah, GA

After a 13 hour car ride, we FINALLY arrived in beautiful Savannah, Ga. Savannah is one of our family's favorite places to go, next to the Wilderness Resort in the Dells (Wisconsin). The town has so much history, you can practically FEEL it in the air, not to mention everything there is just gorgeous. Plus the beach is 20 minutes away!



Erik was the very best tour guide we could possibly have- I know it probably killed him to
look like a tourist, but we really appreciated
having him there to help us get around; plus it
so great to get to see him and spend time
together!
This is the river ferry we rode up
and down the Savannah River... Madelynn
got to meet the captain!



We ate dinner in this building, the oldest structure still standing in Georgia, 'The Pirate House'. It dates back to I think the 1730's. Madelynn was VERY concerned that ghosts were watching us eat...lol.





There were a LOT of opportunites to take pictures of old buildings...






And this beautiful building caught my eye!






River Street is right on 'the River' obviously.. one of the most historic parts of town.





Dad was VERY interested in the Spanish Moss that hung from the trees... is is a member of the pineapple family, and the branches it hangs on don't grow leaves.
