Our day trip to Savannah, GA

First of all, I apologize in advance for the picture overload. Even though we stayed in Hilton Head, SC, Savannah was just an hour drive away. Savannah was established in 1733 and was the capital of Georgia, one of the 13 original colonies. We loved how historic and charming this city was. It was a long day. But luckily we took a trolley tour so we didn't have to walk all over the place and we had a tour guide.

Crossing the bridge to get into Savannah



Driving up to Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady & Son's...you have to get there early because they start taking dinner reservations at 9:30 a.m. (and there was a line...even in off season!)



We searched high and low, but couldn't find Josh a rabbit coat like this guys.



My friend Stephanie went to Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) and they sell her handmade, silk-screened tepees in their store.



Waiting in line at Mrs. Wilke's for lunch. They're open from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. and people stand in line to get to eat there. It was delicious country cooking.



You sit family-style at a table of 10. It's fun to meet people. The man to my Dad's left has been eating there twice a week since 3rd grade!



We were stuffed and happy afterward.



The Mercer House, the place where everything happened in the book/movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. (it was a true story)



My Dad with me on the trolley tour



I love getting pressed pennies on trips. I have tons from over the years!



Josh standing by the bench used in Forest Gump (it was filmed in Chippewa Square, one of Savannah's 20 famous squares)



We took a picture of this sign because my Dad accidentally left the keys in the ignition parked outside Mrs. Wilke's. Luckily all of those people in line were more concerned with eating an awesome lunch than stealing our unlocked rental car!



Inside Paula Deen's restaurant! We had a great time there. They're famous for their hoe cakes, which are kind of like a cornbread pancake. YUM!
