Sunday, October 22nd:
We got up early the next morning so we could watch the sunrise on the beach. There were just a few clouds along the horizon, which made the sunrise beautiful!
After the sunrise we walked back to the condo, got ready, and drove to Savannah. Our first stop was the Bonaventure Cemetery for a two hour walking tour. Our tour guide told us the history of the cemetery and he pointed out all the stylistic designs on the headstones and their significance.

After our stroll through the cemetery we headed into Savannah. Our first stop was the Maple Street Biscuit Company.
[Fresh biscuits, gravy, an egg, cheese, and fried chicken!]

We then went on the Old Town Trolly Tour. It was a great way to see the city and learn some history.
After the Old Town Trolly Tour we went to the Peach Cobbler Factory for a snack.
They had a huge variety of cobblers. I got the classic peach cobbler and it was delicious!
Next, we went on a walk through a bunch of the squares all the way down to Forsyth Park.
Our favorite area was Jones St. This street was beautiful and every house was perfect!

After our walk we headed back to River Street to get some dinner at Tubby's. We sat on their large outdoor balcony which overlooks the Savannah River.
We got crab cakes (of course) and a boil with crab, shrimp, corn, grits, and sausage.

After dinner we did our walk for Theo and the other VOGM warriors.
Our final stop was at Clary's Cafe where we started our two hour walking Ghost Tour! We had so much fun looking at the cool old buildings and hearing paranormal stories from our tour guide.
[Tour group - he told us to act scared!]
After the Ghost Tour we made the hour drive back to Hilton Head. Savannah is such a cool city with a fascinating history! I'd love to come back someday!
