We took a short trip to Tybee Island and Savannah. The first stop was Fort Pulaski. W and L really enjoyed the fort and the tunnels. W was really cute...he wanted to stop and sketch some things in his notebook. You can see him sitting on the hillside "sketching". L loved ALL the things that I found scary...the railless bridge, the narrow walkway on the steep hill that dropped straight into the moat, the railless second level of the Fort! She loved all those things and is much to fearless! William enjoyed hearing the history of the fort and he was pretty convinced (not by me) that the odd smell in some of the tunnels was from dead bodies. I assured him it was from all the rain and the water that must have collected on the floors. I think he liked his story better.
Please do take note of the scary edge on the second level of the fort...we didn't stay up there for long!
We stayed in a hotel with an indoor pool. William has had the itch to get back in the water since finishing his first session of swim lessons. He had loads of fun playing with other kids in the pool and even learned to swim to the bottom of the pool to collect his diving sticks. While in Savannah, we rode the trolley all around town, getting of and exploring the locations that were of interest. Our first stop was The Pirate House...a restaurant, lunch was a must. Next we went to the Jepson center for the arts. They have an ArtZeum for the kids to have some hands on learning. I think our favorite part was the sculpture wall. William creatively sculpted a face and L had to have everything off the wall so she could serve cupcakes.
After the ArtZeum, we went to Factor's Walk...where again, L loved the dangerously steep stairs. Then, we went to the River Street. W and L really liked looking at the boats. But, their favorite thing really had to be the candy store!
