Savannah, GA



Driving over Talmadge Bridge to our hotel on Hutchison Island



Ferry ride from Westin to downtown Savannah. Savannah is the 4th largest port in the world.


View of our hotel from Downtown Savannah. Thanks to Gina for the hotrate!!






Our first stop, Moon River Brew Co., good food and beer!



Downtown Savannah





Our hotel ferry



Check out the parking garage with the stairs to nowhere?!



City Hall, 24 karat gold roof



Savannah Cotton Exchange



Steep stairs, this picture cannot really show how dangerously steep the stairs are all over Savannah. Nothing in Savannah is level from cobble stone streets, stairs, thresholds, etc.



Yes, the uneveness of the city got the best of me. The place I hurt my foot, the uneven threshold!!



Love you!!



Dave loves mahi-mahi, so I took the pic for that reason. Now the pic also has more meaning for me, when we were on our Savannah trolley tour I learned the meaning of the pineapple in the south. It is a sign of hospitality, women used to put out pineapples to welcome guests or to let others know they were having a party. When they wanted the guests to leave they just took the pinapples away and that was the polite way to say the party was over/go home. Love it!!


Pic 1



Pic 2, they say Savannah is the most haunted city in the US. Look at this pic vs. the first one, see the white spot, that isn't the moon and it isn't in the first pic. I guess it is one of those ghost/aura things, spookie...


We also saw places named for our family members, Bernie's Oyster House...



This is for you Nana...


This is a couple we met at our hotel bar. It was their first year anniversary as well, we were both married on March 1, 2008.



Happy Couple



5 Guys Burger, yum!



Beignets at Huey's, double yummy!!




Pontchartrain Omlette with cheese grits, triple yummy!!
