Savannah and its Environs – Our Last Day
July 16, 2008
The actual order of my day went thus:
A Graveyard, A Beach, A Lighthouse, and Dinner with a Lady and her Sons.
First, the graveyard:
Bonaventure Cemetery. It’s rather large.
When you enter, you drive down this tree-lined path.
It’s incredibly gorgeous.
It’s incredibly gorgeous.
A plot that was so beautiful, I had to photograph it.
I also saw many prominent Savannahians gravesites.

Then Tybee Island and the beach:
WELCOME TO TYBEE ISLAND!!!
I saw the back of their heads a lot.
Playing in the waves was AWESOME!
Then the Lighthouse:
This one’s for you, Rog.
Then a stroll in Forsyth Park:
It is SO EASY to lose yourself in the parks and squares in Savannah.
Did you know that that gorgeous fountain down the lane was MAIL ORDERED?
I never saw anything like that in my Crate & Barrel catalog!

Finally, dinner at the Lady and Sons:
You wait outside until you are called in for your reservation. By bull horn.
Oh, and on this night not the Lady nor her Sons were there. Bummer.

We finished the night by driving over the New Talmadge Bridge (not to be confused with the Old Talmadge Bridge) :
Savannah, we’re gonna miss you. Thanks for everything. It was a wonderful, magical trip.

my husband and i visited Savannah on a spur-of-the-moment detour on our way back home from Florida a few years ago. we were only there a few hours, but it was one of the most beautiful, charming places. loved it. so much character and history.
