Savannah Trip

Wednesday we left for Savannah GA. Here are a few pics from the trip...


First we went to Tybee Island, which is outside of Savannah. It was a little overcast and the ocean was cold, but we still had a great time. My back still somehow got burnt.


Next, we went to Savannah. Our hotel was really nice, but our bed broke as soon as we placed our stuff on it. Evidently, it was just put in and whoever installed it didn't do a very good job. So, they upgraded us to a freakishly huge suite! We were on the top floor, with a jacuzzi tub, and a balcony (one of like six rooms with a balcony). It rocked! So, we went down to River Street. This is a picture of River Street. Very cool...lots of shops, live music, and restaurants.


The next morning we stood in line to go make reservations for Lady and Sons Restaurant. We got there 1/2 hour before they opened and this is the line that was there. It took us an hour and a half before we got to make reservations.


Afterwards we got breakfast and walked around Savannah. Its a beautiful city. Here's a fountain in one of the many parks.


That evening we ate at Lady and Sons. More about the food of Savannah later...


After dinner we went on a horse drawn carriage ghost tour of Savannah. Its the most haunted city in the United States. Then that evening we went back down to River Street for some more live music.

Saturday we went to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Its huge...here are a few pics...


Sing it with me, "Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea..."


Jess touching a sting ray. Evidently, the GA Aquarium is incredibly busy on Memorial Day weekend. If you are planning to go, go on a Tuesday or on a non holiday weekend.


Jellyfish...its like we're swimming with it!
