Savanna, GA - day two

The next day we bit the bullet and bought trolly tickets. The kids were free which made the price a little more bearable. I am so thankful we decided to do that. It was perfect - the girls loved that they didn't have to be buckled, we saw all the famous things, got an entertaining guide and heard so much history that we wouldn't have known otherwise. 

The tour lasted 90 minutes and then they drop you at any of the spots you want. Anytime you are ready to leave you call them they send a trolly to get you and take you to the next place you want to go. We stopped first at a famous ice cream shop and ate ice cream for lunch with a little chicken salad for dessert. 

Rain boots on the wrong feet because she lost her tennis shoes in the park the night before :/

We had to walk to the end of the block for our next pickup and passed a macaroon shop. We all exclaimed at how pretty they were so Robert bought us all one. The man thought that was nice so he gave Robert one for free. Robert then gave each of us a bite of his. I think he got a bite as well;)

We had them take us back to the visitors center to get slings and then to Forsyth park. This is the most famous square there. 

As we were leaving we saw a wedding being set up. The girls talked Robert into waiting so they could watch. 

Then we headed to a colonial cemetery. The city of savannah was given to Lincoln by some famous general that I can't remember right now for Christmas and was then spared any destruction. So the army camped there didn't see any action. For four months the north camped in this cemetery. Once they left the city went to clean up and found that from boredom the soldiers had moved stones and changed dates(People living 300 years, marring at 11, dying before they were born.). Since they didn't know where to put the stone back they lined them along the back of the wall. It was such a neat place. I'm so glad we stopped there.  There were many signs I stopped to read about famous men and women from the colonial war/era. The girls were slightly less impressed and just wanted to run along the curving sidewalks. 

We quickly caught the last trolly home and had dinner in the rv. We went back across the street to play on the memorial and were all in bed early that night. 

During the day we had heard back from most of the people we had contacted. Two stood out as good possibilities. A small farm right outside of savannah that sounded good but couldn't have us for another week and a farm in the middle of nowhere Alabama. 

Since I had found bio-waste farm I left this completely up to Robert:) I was hoping he would pick the savannah one but he didn't. We do have an open invitation there though as they really needed a contractor. 

We were leaving the next morning (Saturday) to drive across Georgia to hurtsboro, AL. 

We still hadn't found the part we needed.
