This year, my lovely husband took us to Savannah for the weekend.  Had such a wonderful time.  We walked around Historic Savannah for over 2 hours.  Wow!!  Love the ambience!! Had a visit from Wendy's sister-in-law, Libby Randall.  Thanks for the history lesson.  Can't wait to return and do some touring with you!!
Savannah Gold Dome City Hall.  So majestic!!



This is the statue in Franklin Square Amazing details in it!!

Here is the City Market.  Covers 3 blocks


Christ Church in Savannah was designed in 1838.  First cornerstone for the church was laid in 1744. 

The olde Pink House Restaurant and Tavern, Savannah's only 18th Century Mansion


Heading down to River Street, Check out the Historic Stairs!!  Did it one step at a time!!!  Very Steep!!


The Steamboats ride offer dinner cruise on board as well as moonlight cruises and sightseeing tours.

River Street with the cobblestone streets.  Very picturesque!!

It was the 6th anniversary of the campground for our owners, Nick and Helen Stone.  They took a pic of some of the residents.

Joan, Bob and I enjoying the coffee and donuts at the gathering!

We have been seeing them a couple of times.  There is a motor attached to the gentleman with the parachute!!  Not my idea of flying!!  Hahaha!!!  We saw 4 of them last week flying around!!


Had a visit from Sarah and family.  Emma chasing the ducks!!  So sweet!!


Love that beautiful smile!!  Such a sweetheart!!

She was so excited to be feeding the ducks!! 

So happy to have such a nice visit from Sarah, James, Clayton and Carol Gray and of course, Emma!!!  I was up at 5am this morning to make Sarah's favourite, Penny Buns.  Her smile said it all!!  So worthwhile!!  Love you Sarah!! As a child when she came for a visit, she would take my penny buns over dessert.  Make sure I had enough for her to take a batch with her.  To her my Penny Buns is to Lawrence my Rhubarb Pie!!!  Right Lawrence!!Haha
