savannah

The first week in April Zach took a couple of days off work and we headed to Savannah for a mini vacation. We had gone as a family last year and Micah loved it so we decided to go again this year. It might become a Spring Break tradition but we'll have to wait and see. The theme of the trip could be water and food because there was a lot of both. Our first stop was Forsyth Park (gorgeous) where we played on the playground, played in the fountains and had a doughnut snack before heading to our hotel to check in.

After getting to the hotel we went straight to the heated outdoor pool to swim and then had dinner at Wild Wings Cafe in City Market where we ate, listened to some musicians outside and then played in the fountains there. After a quick stop at the candy store we headed home and CRASHED!!

After checking out a few tankers and tugboats from our hotel window we went to River Street and toured (for free) a sailboat that was built in the 1850s. The boys loved it! Then off to River Street sweets for a mid morning snack and then on our trolley tour for a ride around the city.

After naps and a pizza snack from Vinnie Van Go Gos we drove out to Tybee Island for a few hours on the beach. Micah and I looked for shells while Zach and Connor dug holes in the sand. Micah decided he wanted to dig too. The majority of our beach time was watching Micah run in and out of the water as the waves came in.

From the beach we went to the Crab Shack where Micah and Connor were enthralled watching the Alligators and watching Zach eat crab legs which neither of them had ever seen.

Saturday morning was our last day there. For breakfast we found a bakery that had AMAZING croissants and pain au chocolat! Then the boys spent a good bit of time running in the fountains in City Market again. After packing up we made a lunch stop at The Pirate House and then drove home happy but completely exhausted!!
