At the beginning of July, we decided to take a trip when my best friend and her husband came in from California. I was so excited to spend some time away from home just hanging out, but good grief someone turned the thermostat to "HOT as Hades" in the South. The weather in Wilmington was perfect, so I was really hopeful that Savannah would be comparable.
We headed down on the 4th. The apartment we rented was right on Bay Street, so we were in the middle of everything. Almost every restaurant you could imagine was within a block or two and the river was right across the street. Every morning the cargo carriers woke me up with their horns (imagine a MAC truck at the head of your bed blowing its horn). Phillip found this hilarious.
When we got there we decided to try to have dinner on the river and watch the fireworks since it was July 4th. Dinner didn't go quite as smoothly as we had hoped, but we finally ate around 9. Unfortunately, fireworks started at 9:30 so we missed most of them, but Emory and I caught a few towards the end of our meal.

| Can you tell it was a bit warm? |

| He was a good sport about everything as long as he was on the go. |
Our second day down we decided to walk around the visit a few of the places we enjoyed on our last trip. Our first stop was The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist:
 |
| Emory was more than amused with keys in the cathedral, which suited us just fine since the place echos a bit. |
 |
| One of my favorite historic houses (currently a B&B) in Savannah, the Hamilton Turner House. |
 |
| In case you were wondering how hot it was check out Little Man. Quite roasty toasty. |
 |
| Leopold's Ice Cream phone booth. |
 |
| Sandra's turn. |
 |
| This place has the best ice cream in Savannah. Poor Sandra and Steven, Phillip made them visit this place at least 4 times. |
