We all got in the LTV Falcon and traveled to Savannah to spend the day. It is just under 3 hours to Savannah from Randy and Sue's, a straight shot down I16.
We arrived just about 12N and got a prime valet parking right in front of the Cotton Sails Hotel.
Rich and Joe got the room with the river view.
After check in we went for a stroll on the town. The weather was perfect and we took in the sights, so many cool squares with statues of historic confederate soldiers.
We stopped at 'Six Pence' for lunch.
We were able to get right in and had a nice lunch.
We resumed our walk and made it all the way to Forsyth Park. The squares are beautiful, we even visited the cemetery that has been there since the early 1700s.
We stopped by the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, a Roman Catholic Church, it is beautiful inside and out.
It was also a good place to rest our feet a bit.
After walking the historic district we decided to do the river walk, and hit a few shops.
It was such a nice day.
Just for the fun of it we took the water taxi for a spin, it is free and runs all day between the hotels on the river.
Everyone enjoyed the ride and the sights.
We spread our money in a few pubs along the River.
We watched in awe as one of the large container ships made its way up the river to port.
We were hungry so we set out for City Market for a bite to eat, it reminds me much of Church Street in Burlington, VT in the summer. We had live music and a great atmosphere.
June and nephew Joe were clearly having a good time.
As we left city square, the girls were having fun.
We ended a fun day at the roof top pub at our hotel with beautiful views of the river.
We had a fun day. Tuesday we will have breakfast in town and then make our way back to Bonaire.
Looks like an interesting place to visit. Did the phone in that telephone booth work?
ReplyDeleteYou can’t help but love Savannah. The weather today was perfect, that helps. We may have missed one or two bars....an excuse to come back another day. Glad we got to celebrate with Randy and Sue, memorable.
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect day in vacation land! You sure pack a lot into one day. Glad you're having a great time away from the cold north.
ReplyDeleteOn the good side, we had about a three mile walk. For some reason Fred doesn't wish to disclose how many pubs we hit on our long walk, nor the number of refreshments consumed.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to protect Randy's reputation.
DeleteI can only imagine what these places think when they see the Jaquish clan coming .....
