Savannah, GA

We spent the last few days near Savannah, GA.  We had to check out the historic area of Savannah as we had heard many good things about it.  It is a city with a lot of history and the building styles reflect that history.  I enjoy the architecture.  The historic district has many small beautifully shaded parks with statues, monuments and/or fountains. It was a pleasure to stroll around that area.  We just followed a suggested walking tour and throughly enjoyed ourselves.

We drove back up into South Carolina across the Savannah River to check out the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge and that was very nice.  Saw a couple of gators and lots of birds flying around but not much that I could take pics of.

We had a nice surprise at our campground, a KOA, never my favorite camp ground but this place had a large lake with about 50 swans and local wildlife fowl and that was really cool!

Old Savannah was very pleasant to walk around this time of year;)


Johnson Plaza

Wright Plaza

Chippewa Plaza



Colonial Park Cemetery houses some
very notable and interesting folks.
It would have been easy to spend a
couple of hours here!



St Johns Cathedral

Forsyth Park



Could have spent
a lot more time
looking at
buildings;)




Had dinner at Treylor Park (owners name is Trey) on Bay Street, yummy food!
 I had a crab, shrimp and sausage flatbread with a crab cake on top!!

These are some of the pics I took at our campground!

  1. I can imagine it is way more pleasant in that area at this time of year than in the summer! Beautiful shots!
