Savannah

We just got back from a week in Savannah, Ga and loved it.  I could have stayed much longer but alas we had to return to the real world.  Lets do a little tour.

We usually put our suitcases on the kitchen table to do any last minute packing.  I guess these guys thought we should take them along

After our arrival the first place we visited was the city museum and visitors center.  We learned more about the history of the city. its industries and famous people from there

Bench that Tom Hanks sat on during the movie Forrest Gump.  Movies are a big thing in Savannah, while we were there they were filming Magic Mike 2.  We did come up on one of the sets but no sign of Chaning Tatum(sigh)

Many of the early 20th century industrialist and inventors stayed in Savannah part of the year

If you go to Savannah wear comfy shoes, layers of clothes and forget driving in the historic district, take the trolley system.  More tomorrow.
