East Coast Spring Vacation part 2 - Savannah, GA

Savannah Georgia has been a destination for Andrea and I since before we had kids and before Airstreams. It just never panned out, though.  So on this trip we made it a point to go.  Despite how bright and sunny the pictures below look, it was rather cold and windy.  We'd like to go back sometime and spend more time there which is ironic because when really looking into the planning of our visit, we weren't sure what we were going to do there besides seeing the park.  There were so many things that were neat that we didn't take pictures of; in particular two of the places we ate at.  A trip back for a longer stay when it's warmer is for sure in the future.

All pictures above here: the central park (I forget the name of it).  It is huge.  There's even a Starbucks and a Cafe on-site so you can spend all day there.

Apparently Parker is a popular name for businesses in the south.  This chain of markets is actually a convenience mart chain.  But the shopping selection is incredible.  We bought some candies that we haven't seen since living in Germany and they were even in the German packaging!  Amazing for a gas station convenience store.

The entrance to Fort Pulaski.  This was to be an interesting adventure because the ranger at the entrance asked if Parker wanted to become a Junior Ranger.  We had avoided exposing Parker to this before because we know that Mason is not old enough to do it to which would cause issues if Parker was doing it.  Fun.

We were crossing the moat here.  Ironically, the ranger said that there's some people who aren't familiar with alligators that see them in the moat (in warmer months) and actually want to try to pet them.

Musket firing demonstration...very cool!
