the couch had a nice pull out bed which jeff slept on the first night there and chris and i and daniel took the bedroom... we spent the evening getting a few groceries and then we walked to the nearby park... forsyth park... the whole downtown area is a grid and has 24 parks throughout the whole area. this park is the largest... by far. it has a play ground and fountain and large grass field. and the trees!!!! you haven't seen anything like it unless you have been to savannah... they look like they are dripping with history. haha
the next morning we dropped jeff off at the airport and we headed to this small childrens museum. it was built out doors at this old railroad depot.... the setting was so cool with these brick walls and old trains.... daniel had a good time exploring... kicking giant balls around... going down the slide and of course playing with the cars... the funniest was he latched onto this small toy of a girl in a wheelchair and pushed it around for a long time... so funny... he also had fun just running around crazy and chasing his dad....
i can't help but take pictures of trains when i see them and they will always remind me of grandpa!!
after the childrens museum we walked around down town. found a place to have some lunch and then head back to the apartment for daniels nap time. i think for dinner that night we just made something in the kitchen. after his nap we just enjoyed the incredible weather and walked all over downtown...
the next day we got up and went to the park... daniel played on the playground and then a stranger woman asked us to fly a kite with she and her daughter. it only flew for a minute... just not enough wind to get it in the air... then we walked down to this restaurant down by the water that was a pirate house... good southern food... people dressed in costumes... just really fun. then we walked over to our favorite part of downtown called the city market.... they had this fountain for kids to play in... daniel was scared at first but pretty soon running in and out no problem and getting soaked... he had so much fun chasing his dad in circles.... after his nap he had a picnic dinner in a park and then walked down to the city market again for a little dessert and entertainment...
today we visited an old house that general sherman had used for a bit while in savannah... the family had offered it to him so he wouldn't burn it down since he had been burning everything else in georgia.. it was a neat house... then we walked over to a cemetery.... i love old cemeteries... well, my sister emily loves cemeteries and always makes us see them on any vacation... so i have learned to love them... these ones were neat with a lot of above ground tombs.
we then walked down to the river walk... got to see a giant shipping boat go by... huge.... and then checked out shops and the little market place by the river.... afterwords we ate lunch outdoors at a cafe.... then we headed back to the apartment for nap time and lots of masters watching... that evening we went back down town for one more visit to the city market area... we just loved it... we also found the park where the bench scene from forrest gump was filmed...
forrest gump park...
one of my favorite things about walking around are the houses... they are just so fun... so much character and beauty... seriously just love it... here are my two favorite homes...
the next morning we slowly packed up and cleaned a little and headed home... i drove and chris and daniel sat in the back... we drove the 6 hours straight never stopping and it was perfect... daniel is such a trooper in the car...
the rest of the weekend we watched the masters on our tv.... and let me tell you.... i was so excited when my favorite bubba pulled ahead and then managed to hang onto his lead to finish as the winner again!!!! and this time so cute with wife and son there to congratulate him!! we even took our traditional masters photo of chris and daniel watching together... we also made french toast and then daniel decided that afternoon to be cute and pretend to cook himself... but of course he was cooking cars...
love these shots with bubba and his little family
this one cracks me up with his finger in his nose.. haha
