Savannah, GA

During the second week we made a trip to Savannah, GA. I figured that we should try to get as many cool southern things in while we still have the chance. Who knows how long it will take us to come back this way again. We went to the Mighty 8th Air Force museum. The kids were super noisy in there so we had to split up and I took them outside while Kris got to have a better tour of the place. The Mighty 8th played a big roll in turning things around during WWII. 

We did a river boat cruise to check out downtown Savannah and see the port.

The kids didn't watch much TV but I let them was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse one morning while we were getting ready. Yep, they were totally zoned out but pleased as punch.

We went for a dolphin watching boat ride. They had loads of fun seeing the dolphins pop up out of the water and of course eating their fruit loops from the hotel breakfast that morning.

We went to a light house and climbed all the way to the top. Denzil did all 278 steps all by him self, up and down. My legs were a bit sore after that. On our way up Denzil lost his sticker and you would have thought it was the end of the world. He cried and cried and he wouldn't even look at the camera or anything else when we were at the top.

McKinley was pretty excited about it too...not! She kept complaining about her arm hurting and cried a bunch too. But Kris and I were happy to be there and enjoyed ourselves anyway. On the way back down Kris was able to find Denzil's sticker so at least we didn't have to listen to him cry the whole way down.

On our way home we stopped at Charles Towne State Historic Site by Charleston, SC. My sister's family had stopped there on their trip out here and said it was fun. We went to the fort and saw a musket demonstration and walked all around. Denzil keeps asking us why there are so many forts, I guess we have visited our fair share.
