After doing a little birding with the boys at Crooked Creek State Park Campground, we headed out for Savannah, an hour or two drive away. The city squares of Savannah are beautiful (Forest Gump sat on a park bench in one waiting for the bus as he told his story). For those history buffs and home schoolers out there, when the colony was established, the idea was that each ward would have a central park, surrounded by a mix of commercial, residential and governmental properties. The pattern was then repeated. When the colony started there were no lawyers, no alcohol, no slaves and no catholics allowed. We enjoyed a house tour, where the revolutionary hero Marquis de Lafayette stayed.
Since we are trying to cover some ground on this trip, we headed off to Charleston South Carolina for the night. There we hit another regional cultural experience, Waffle House!
