The Wheres:
Savannah, Georgia
Skidaway Island
Tybee Island
Today we woke up in Savannah, a city that Esther has been wanting to take me to since she and the kids visited in October of '09. I've seen the live oak and Spanish moss-draped streets of Mobile, Alabama and this reminded me of that, but the first thing that I noticed about Savannah, apart from its multiple town squares, is how the streets near the river become multi-leveled and cobble-stoned. We parked downtown and walked a while on
River Street to take in the sights.
One of the few shops that caught our eye enough to warrant trip inside was the candy store,
River Street Sweets. Yes, the pralines are incredible- especially eaten while still warm.

Savannah was awesome, but still I was even more drawn to the surrounding natural areas. Next up, the salt flats and forests of Skidaway Island.

The second island of the day was Tybee where we played on the beach till nearly sunset as the tidal pools filled and the strong current of the shallow waters swirled past. We made our first dolphin sighting of the trip!
