Savannah, Georgia

This is my third attempt to portray all of the charms of Savannah.

Fort Pulaski was another stop.

Mr. Brown Sign stuff here.

In the Civil War the range of cannons was fairly limited.

Because Fort Polaski was over a mile from the closest land point, they thought they were impregnable.

Then the Union Army fired their first rifled cannons at this fort, and caused a breach from over a mile away.

After the 30 hour siege, the Confederates surrendered the fort, and the United States military has never built a masonry fort again.

It even has its own alligator.

On the Union side of the battle is the island of Tybee.
Loggerheads lay their eggs here, and the town is fully decorated with turtles.

We were thankful we didn't have any storm surges while visiting.
The pole shows the five hurricane categories of storm water levels.

We didn't come prepared to fish,

but we know how to borrow a fish!

Low tide means the creatures are out!

The shell is alive!

We left our mark on the beach.

We'll definitely be back.
