Back to Savannah!

Well, this has been a long time...I typed this post three times, added my pictures, clicked on some key and everything disappeared!!  THREE TIMES I did that!!  Frustrated, so just walked away!!  Then...when I tried it again, I couldn't sign in...finally today I had my Go To Gal (Lacey) fix it for me and voila...now I can sign in!!  Unfortunately this will be a shorter post with less pictures because now it is almost Christmas and a lot has happened in the last 6 months!!



So as the story goes, we left Augusta, GA and headed to Savannah.  Oh we loved that town!  Our first night we ate at Lady and Son's restaurant (I called on our way driving there to get a reservation!  It was delicious food!  This was started by Paula Deen...she started out as a "bag lady"  making bag lunches, then moved onto this restaurant.

chicken pot pie...it was yummy

Scott had crab cakes over a bed of rice and beans

St. John the Baptist Catholic Church

The Old Pink House

One of 24 city parks in Savannah with the Spanish Moss
I could go on and have a lot more pictures, but from here we drove to Charleston and had a wonderful horse and buggy tour of that city.

 One of several million dollar homes near the waterfront in Charleston

The entrance to a restaurant where we had lunch called 82 Queens...and that is the address too!  Awesome She Crab Soup!!
After the buggy ride and walking on foot and taking in some other museum sites, we took a harbor tour.  It was a beautiful day to be out on the water and get the whole history lesson about the war coming from the harbor!

We stayed the night in Mt. Pleasant and the next day we took a plantation tour.

 this is the car we were driving  What fun that was!!  Red Mustang convertible!!

"I felt like a bird out of a cage.  Amen. Amen. Amen.  I could hardly ask to feel better than I did on that day."

Entrance to the Boone Plantation
These live Oak trees were planted in 1743...two rows of them between the road leading to the plantation house.
It took more than 200 years for the trees to meet overhead to form this corridor to welcome visitors!

After a day of touring the plantation and hearing the stories of the area, we headed back to Savannah, stayed over night and then headed toward Augusta and our plane to take us home.
We made a quick stop in Macon, GA and had to see a couple of churches.

this is the Catholic church and directly behind it was a Baptist church, then to the right of it was this church pictured below,

another Baptist church...one for the blacks and one for the whites!

Well, of course I have many more pictures, but this hits the highlights and now I can be done with this trip!
