Savannah (Day 3)

I am beyond behind on getting this trip wrapped up on the blog.  For that matter, I am beyond behind on most everything in my life.  I suppose it's par for the course at the moment.  

Anyway, our third day in Savannah began with lunch at Vic's on the River.  Sandra and I were still having food aversions.  Let's just say that vacationing with two pregnant women, cravings, aversions, nausea, and 100+ degree weather with 200% humidity definitely qualifies both of our spouses for sainthood.  :-)  

One of my major goals on this trip was to have Sandra eat shrimp and grits.  This only halfway happen, but considering that she was even open to the possibility and she was pregnant is a miracle in and of itself.  Phillip ordered this Southern staple for his lunch, so she sampled a bit.  We are still hoping to take her to Red Bone Alley when they come back.  Nothing beats their S&Gs.  

After lunch we decided to hop on the ferry to visit the Waving Girl statue.  Emory was a huge fan of the ferry.  We attempted to get a decent family picture, but we learned long ago that those are few and far between with a squirmy tot.

Exhibit A

Check out the face on this fella. 

Excited, to say the very least.

We love the riverfront, so we decided to walk back instead of taking the ferry again.  Along the way we snapped a couple of pictures and visited a lot of shops.

 

One of Phillip's favorite finds.

Someone had a little too much excitement for one afternoon.  We were amazed that he napped in that heat!

If there is one place we L.O.V.E. in Savannah it's The Olde Pink House.  We headed there for dinner.  Do yourself (and the inner Southerner waiting to emerge within your belly) a favor and dine here if you ever have the chance!  After dinner we took a stroll about the historic district to take in some sites. 

Bad picture, but you can see where the name came from. 

City Hall

I forget the name because it's been a whole 3+ months since this trip, but I believe this is the oldest church in Georgia. 

Owen-Thomas House...more on this disaster later.

My backyard (in my dreams).

Davenport House

Should you want to stay in one of the most haunted houses in Savannah, here's your B&B of choice.  The Kehoe House has quite the reputation.

We stopped by Paula's store to look around.  Emory ended up getting a onesie that says, "Feed me y'all!"  Befitting.

I'll get Day 4 & 5 wrapped up in the next post.  It will be done!  Hope you enjoy!
