Savannah

Because we anticipate leaving Jacksonville sooner rather than later, we thought we should squeeze in a trip to Savannah, since everyone we know that has been there loves it. So we booked a hotel Friday night, and left early Saturday morning. We got to Savannah and walked around the downtown historic area. This is me on River Street, after about 1.5 hours of walking. I was pretty tired. I am 26 weeks pregnant here.















We continued to walk around, look at old buildings and in shops. We had lunch at Moon River Brewing Company, where I had the best sweet potato crinkle fries with this cinnamon dipping sauce, that the waitress said was fondly referred to as "Crack sauce" because everyone loved it and ate so much of it. I wish I knew the recipe for it.

Below are pictures of me at Forsyth Park, and of Alex on a random street that had cool old buildings and neat trees.















Around 3 in the afternoon, this preggo woman was pretty beat, so we left to check into our hotel, but stopped at Back in the Day bakery on the way out of the historic district. I had an awesome pumpkin crunch bar and Alex had some banana pudding that he thought was the best he'd had.

Once we got to the hotel, it started storming and didn't really let up, so we kicked it in our hotel--which was brand new, so still very nice-- for the rest of the night. The next morning we headed out to Tybee Island, the beach east of Savannah to cruise the town and the beach. The beach was gorgeous, and if Alex were a beach goer, I would have made him stay! We got to see a bunch of dolphins feeding in an inlet, which is always fun to see.















On the way back to Savannah we stopped at some fort that was built in the early 1800s or something (I don't retain much these days). Here is a picture of us there. I always like to be the taller one whenever possible! (I'm not sure why Alex always looks so uncomfortable in pictures, but he does.)



















We had lunch at a place called Uncle Bubba's which must have some connection to Paula Deen, because she (and her merchandise) were everywhere, and a Paula Deen tour group came in and got to eat before we did! After experiencing Uncle Bubba's we headed home to Jax. We had a fun little trip together, which I know we probably won't have many of after Baby Berger joins us!
