Savannah, Georgia

While Dad is away, in the pool we play!
It was close to 100 every day, with 105 heat index.
HOT! HEAT! HUMIDITY!
We walked on the river front.
Savannah, once they figured out how to anchor ports,
became a major waterway,
and as evidenced by Ever Dainty out of Singapore, is still busy.
(Each of those boxes sits on a semi truck. Can we say GIGANTIC?)
The shady trees, dripping with spanish moss,
provided us with cool shade.

Plenty of anchors to climb on, and play pirates!

Sidewalk sampling is a plenty.
Here we're being offered "grouper" nuggets!

Two of our favorite shops:
Peanuts of Savannah,
and
Savannah's Candy.
Lots of candy making on site.
This was the taffy machine.

Hunter was partial to flavored crickets.

Sawyer really liked 36" of candy.

We had to stop at the local cemetery to see the above ground crypts.

Founder of the Methodist Church,
John Wesley settled here.

"Among all the fake options,
there is a real one!"
Jarrod's speaking of me, of course ;-)
Leopold's Ice Cream is a must see stop!
Four generation business, with an interesting link to Hollywood movies.
Cooper was the only interested one in getting wet.
