Savannah is such a neat place to just walk around. With the largest historic district in the country there is so much to see and do. Founded in 1733, there are many stately old homes interspersed with public squares. Everywhere you go are old live oak trees with Spanish moss hanging from their branches. On River Street you'll find old warehouses lining the river where they once stored cotton, indigo, rice, and various other goods, ready for shipment to the rest of the world. The warehouses have been converted to various restaurants and stores catering to the many tourists who visit. The streets down by the river are paved with cobblestones, once used as ballasts for sailing ships. Today's ships are mostly container ships which glide by the city several times each day. We've spent many a relaxing day walking about enjoying the sights and eating at various restaurants.
On the warmest days we drove over to Tybee Island to enjoy the ocean, walking up and down the beach, lounging in the sun.
One week from today we're planning on leaving Savannah for Largo, Florida. We plan to stay the month of February there enjoying more warm weather with many walks on the beach. Largo is in the Tampa/St. Pete area in case you didn't know. Barbara's sister lives in Brandon, Florida which isn't very far away so we're looking forward to visits with her and the family as well.

They still had their nativity scene on display. The most elaborate I've ever seen.

Another mansion. I wonder how much it would cost to build this today?
Not sure of the name of this house but it's probably got the word vine in it somewhere.
Driveway leading to the Wormslow Plantation. The driveway is a mile and a half long with 400 Live Oak Trees lining the way.
