Savannah

Saturday afternoon we decided to drive down to Savannah - about a 2.5 hour drive. Downtown was very busy with a Christmas festival going on - and a snowball fight going on! We thought this was very ironic...notice the kids bundled up (it was about 60 degrees).
Snow - Southern style...

One of the beautiful buildings in Savannah.

some of the beautiful old brick work in town...

Many of the homes have the same facade over the brick that was done back in the 1800's. During that time brick was considered to be only for the lower class - so the wealthy had the brick covered with cement - and paid to have it shaped like stone.

The Savannah River - notice the bridge is the same style as the one in Charleston - we noticed a lot of similarities in the to cities.

One of the many squares in Savannah - each one has a small city park in the middle.

A beautiful cathedral in Savannah - can't remember the name...

We went on a walking tour Saturday night - it was a combination pub crawl/ghost tour. It was a lot of fun to listen to the ghost stories (this is one of many haunted hotels we walked by) and even more funny to watch our fellow participants get more intoxicated as the evening went on...

We are leaving here tomorrow and heading towards New Orleans - hopefully it will be an uneventful trip - we will post more next week (I promise!)
