Savannah Georgia
After Christmas, but before New Years, we were pleased to be able to make a trip to the very historic Savannah Georgia. It is a two and a half hour drive, so it makes a nice day trip but you could easily spend many days there. We spend one whole day and didn't even see one fifth of everything I would have liked to see just in the down town historic district. There is also the ocean, many house museums, civil war battle fields, estates outside the city, and the Terra Museum (Gone with the Wind). I am sure there are many more things that I didn't even know about that would be worth seeing... One thing that we did know about and wanted to make sure we saw was the food networks Paula Deen has a restaurant there called Lady and Sons. It just so happened that when we rolled into town here sons where there, at the shop next to the restaurant, signing cook book and taking pictures... Well I love cook books, so we got one and our picture taken, and we had a pretty good start to our trip.
Us with Jamie and Bobby Deen. I'm sorry I really don't know which one is which. They have their own food network show, which I have never seen, sorry to say.
River front road, still decorated for Christmas.
The bridge to Tybee Island, and the beaches of Savannah. I wish we would have had the time too see them.
We took a trolley tour, which was awesome! We learned many things and saw stuff like the place where the bench scene that is all throughout the movie Forest Gump was filmed.
There are so many beautiful historic buildings.

Here we are eating at Lady and Sons. We originally had reservations for 9pm, which were made that morning. That was the first time they had a available because they were so booked. Keep in mind that this is a three story restaurant. We were looking in the shop near by at about 6:30 and we stopped and asked if anything sooner had opened up, and they said they could seat us right away! It was wonderful, because we still had a two and a half hour drive home. And let me tell you, the food was so great. I would have waited until 9 to eat that food!
There is definitely a return trip in our future.
