Savannah, GA

For Labor Day weekend, we went to Savannah, GA- just 2 hours south of Charleston.

Just a quick picture of a cute girl and her cute dad.

Some of the pretty townhomes downtown.

Forrest Gump was filmed in Savannah- this is at the Savannah History Museum- it's an "exact" replica of the bench.

 Like many of the Southern states, Savannah used to have a booming cotton industry. Here's is the Savannah Cotton Exchange building.

Randomly enough, in the Savannah History Museum there was an old, old, old dentist office display. There was a little foot pedal (like for old cotton looms or sewing machines) that the dentist would push on really fast to get the drill going. YIKES. And do you see that white cone thing above the not-so-comfortable looking chair? That's the x-ray. Yeah.

Here we are by the moat at Fort Pulaski. This fort was Savannah's protection- like Fort Sumter was for Charleston. 

This is looking down on the middle of the fort from the wall.

Stephen trying to move the cannon- this thing would NOT budge!

We went for a run one morning in Forsyth Park- it is a beautiful area. This is supposed to be one of their famous water fountains.

More pretty downtown Savannah.

We saw this on River Street- a touristy part of town right next to the Savannah River. We saw this hearse taking people on a "ghost tour." We haven't seen anything like that before!

And finally, a picture of the old buildings on River Street. It was a fun trip, but in our opinion, Charleston has Savannah beat! We like our southern city best.
