Georgia visit Two

 Enjoying our anniversary trip to Savannah, Georgia!

The architecture, the iron work, the old buildings.....all so fascinating

Vibrant flowers adorn porches and burst into bloom in gardens

Let's head over to the big fountain in Forsyth Park, shall we?

The fountain was built in 1858. The lady on top is in a robe and carrying a staff.

Long Spanish moss hanging from the big old oak trees sways in the lazy breezes.

The fountain is adorned with triton figures and big birds

The mist from the fountain feels great on a hot summer day!

Families gather to take pictures

Happy graduates making pictures!

and there are always weddings taking place, fun to see.

I love to walk the historic neighborhoods

Here comes another wedding!

Pretty dresses and flowers!

pretty maids....all in a row

Below, the Mansion at Forsyth Park. I heard they are giving it a new name though....Hotel Bardo Savannah.

It was built in 1888, and was once a funeral parlor.

Love all the bright summer flowers! And those pretty steps below!

"I went to a garden party, 
to reminisce with my old friends
a chance to share old memories
play our songs again"
......Ricky Nelson 1972

Savannah is very much like Charleston

Folks enjoying Forsyth Park. I think it's about 30 acres and it's very pretty

....and here we come upon another wedding!

pink flowers and promises.....

Spider flowers, pretty and purple. I think their "real" name is Cleome, maybe? I've tried growing these with no luck. 

Old bricks and ornate ironwork

By now we were hungry, and looking for a place to eat!

We had a good supper. I had scallops and "tater" salad. The "tater" salad was good, and a huge portion! LOL The sweet tea was great

Sunset arrives, and tables both inside and out, fill quickly. 

People in line for ice cream at the famous Leopold's

I love these embroidery pillows! They have them in Charleston too.

Folks gather around their tour guide

Scenes leaving Savannah as the sun sets. 

It was a great anniversary! We enjoyed Savannah so much, we always do. And I loved going to Wormsloe!

Hope everyone is staying cool and hydrated, it's sure a hot summer.
