Savannah Trip, Day 2











We started out this morning after breakfast on the Old Savannah Tour trolley. We rode it for the complete tour and then rode until we got to the stop that would be the closest to where we wanted to have lunch. We ate at a place called Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. It was wonderful! We sat at a table with four strangers and ate "family style". There was so much food but it was all so good. They had the typical southern food: fried chicken, barbecue pork, mashed potatoes, squash, mac and cheese, and other stuff too numerous to list, with banana puddin' for dessert! It was all so yummy and once again we were waddling for a while afterwards. We then rode the trolley back to our hotel and had potty breaks. Matt stayed at the hotel while Brad, Savanna and I went back out to ride the trolley some more. There was only one more stop that we got off for and that was the cathedral of Saint John. It was beautiful, I wish I could take pictures well enough to do it justice. We then rode the trolley back to the hotel and we rested for a while before dinner. It is so hot and humid that it absolutely wears us out. We left to go down to River Street for dinner. We stopped at the cotton exchange so I could take a couple of pictures and then walked down the steep stairs. We hadn't been there too long and the electricity went out in all the stores and restaurants. We walked down to the waving girl and the electricity was still not on by the time we finished. We realized that it was only one block that was out so we walked down to the other block and ate at a Tony Romas. Our hotel was out of electricity when we got back so we climbed up 7 flights of stairs. Savanna wasn't even breathing hard - she makes me sick! :-) We then left about 8:45 to go on the Murder Afloat cruise. That was a lot of fun, Matt had it figured out but he didn't fill out a card because he didn't think he was right. I wasn't feeling well so I really didn't participate too much but it was fun watching my family enjoy themselves trying to figure out the mystery. Tomorrow we head to Orlando and Ryan will be joining us tomorrow night. Savanna doesn't have any dance stuff tomorrow so we are hoping to get there early enough to spend some time at one of the parks - Universal parks. We bought our tickets at MWR and they are good for a week - unlimited visits to two of the parks. We have about a 5 hour drive tomorrow. Until tomorrow night...
