The old south lives in SAVANNAH

Welcome to eternal summer. Our friends and fam in the northeast are getting pummeled by snow while we are in shorts and teeshirts in the south. Savannah was a beautiful, polite city from the start. On Monday we drove in from Athens on back roads (searching for salvation army's). We arrived in the late afternoon and did a quick drive around the city. We were overwhelmed by the cuteness! Savannah's buildings, streets, and parks are so well kept that it felt down right exotic.

We then set up camp at Skidaway Island State Park which is just 10 minutes from the city. Our new site was like a palace compared to the last one. Showers, laundry, running water and electricity on site! We were really excited for showers.

The next day we went out exploring the city. We started on River Street where you can see cool big tankers on the river and cute stores and restaurants on the land. We had to stop in River Street Sweets where we binged on homemade pralines and bear claws. While walking off those calories, we found Mrs Wilkes Dining Room. Here they serve a family style lunch of every southern dish you can imagine. Fried chicken, back eyed peas, creamed corn, and greens to name a few. I think there were bowls on that table that we never even saw!

We didn't eat for a day after that meal, honestly.

Next, we explored Colonial Park Cemetary and wandered around admiring the architecture. 

Back at Skidaway, we hiked the park trails. The sub tropical plants were really cool and the moss inspired our next installation.
