Savannah

This week flew by, which I am grateful for mostly because it's one more week closer to us leaving for home! I think it was because it was a pretty crazy week in that Cam was with us a lot, but gone a lot, too. For example, he worked 22 hours on Monday and 15 yesterday, but then took Thurs and Fri off. To make sure I don't get in trouble with my family and friends up in ATL, I want to make sure it's known that we didn't decide to go up to Savannah until about 8 hours before we left. Cam and I are pretty sporadic I guess, and I have always wanted to go there. Plus we feel like we need to go and do something when he is off work, especially if it's two days in a row! So we woke up early Thursday morning, packed up the car, and took off. It was about a 7 hour drive, and the kids did awesome! We found a hotel when we got there, dropped our stuff off, and started out to explore. Hudson was being pretty naughty at this point from lack of sleep, so we just took a quick stroll down to the river and walked around. When we couldn't stand Hudson's whining or the heat anymore, we decided to go back to the hotel and let he and Cam cool off in the pool. We had a good dinner at a local place, but it took forever! The kids were better than I expected, but we were all done by the time we got back to our hotel. We learned the hard way that Hudson does not sleep well outside of his crib, so we all had a pretty sleepless night. This changed our plans a bit for the next day, since we were headed back and knew we were all exhausted. We drove out to see Tybee Island where we toured the lighthouse and put our feet in the water for a minute so we could say we've been to the Atlantic Ocean. We then got back in the car, picked up some lunch, and drove home. Whew! Fast trip, but so worth it!

HUGE barge going through the river. This was pretty cool to watch so close!

I loved all of the character and old charm of Savannah. It's such a quaint town. Cam and I could have walked down the beautiful tree lined streets looking at the different houses all day. Here are just some random pics so you can kinda see what it looks like.

One of the many historical squares.

This is a pic of the ground. There were streets and sidewalks everywhere still made from the original brick/cobblestone. My stroller will probably never be the same! :)

Here's the lighthouse in Tybee. We climbed up almost 400 stairs to see the view from the top. Cam had to carry Hudson, and I carried the baby. We definitely got a workout!

The view was worth the climb!

Tybee was fun, but man our beaches here in FL are so much prettier! We didn't realize how spoiled we've gotten. Another ocean marked off on the places we've been.
