A Trip to Savannah

The day after ChristmasTyler had to go one a trip for work, so instead of just staying at home my parents (who were visiting), Neal and I all decided to take a fun little trip down to Savannah, GA.

The drive wasn't bad, a little over 5 hours, and we had a fun time singing songs, visiting and listening to Radio Lab podcasts on the way.  Neal spent the whole car ride watching movies and playing games on the iPad which is one of his favorite things to do, so it made the car ride go rather quickly.

The Town of Savannah is so cute.  We stayed in a hotel right near Old Down Town and could walk everywhere.  We enjoyed some really good coffee in the mornings from one of the oldest coffee shops in Savannah.

We filled our days with a few tours of the city and some walks down on the River Walk.  One of our tours was taken on a trolley car, which Neal loved.  It was fun to ride the trolley around and you could get on and off whenever you wanted which was a great type of tour to take with a toddler.  It allowed us to walk around and take some breaks from just sitting in place.

Neal did great being out all day (for 3 days in a row) and when he got to tired he just found a way to sleep, no matter if he was in the stoller or someones arms.

Some of my favorite things we saw were all the old brick houses, a beautiful church, and all the stores along the River Front.  There were the best carmel apples at "Savannah Candy Kitchen".  

I loved the town of Savannah and would love to go there again sometime.  We spent most of our time in Old Down Town and along the river so the next time I would love to go down to the beaches and spend some time there.

Next time we visit we will definitely be going with my sister (Anna) and her husband Matt since Savannah is their favorite city and we'll have to make sure Tyler isn't traveling so he can join us as well.  It was a great mini vacation with family and fun way to spend the week while Tyler was away.
