We arrived in Savannah yesterday and drove into the city to check things out in the afternoon. Today we were up bright & early so we could get our reservation in at Paula Deen's "The Lady & Sons Restaurant". You have to be there in person at 9:30 a.m. to get your reservation in. We did find out that it's not as necessary to do this at this time of year as it is in the summer. We made our reservation and then went to the Camping World store to pick up some supplies. We also drove around downtown for a while. Savannah is a great city. It is a lot like Charleston, SC...very historic with big, beautiful old homes and buildings. Savannah does have several "town squares" that you have to maneuver around to get to where you want to go. They make the city that much more unique, though. Lunch at Paula's was incredible!!! (That is one more thing I can check off on my "Bucket List"!) I have never had chicken that tasted so gooooood! M-m-m-m-m-m! We also went next door to the Paula Deen Store and purchased a few things. Bob had a cup of Captain Michael's Holiday Blend Coffee and thought it was really good. After lunch we went to Tybee Island to see the lighthouse and the dolphins. Of course, NO DOLPHINS! The lighthouse was great. I collected a few shells on the beach and then we went to Fort Pulaski National Monument on Cockspur Island. That was extremely interesting and impressive. While there, we must have seen 25 - 30 deer. We both commented that we saw more wildlife there than we saw on Monday at the Santee (SC) National Wildlife Refuge. We saw 2 wild turkeys there and that was the extent of it. They supposedly have nesting eagles, alligators, several types of birds, deer, etc. We saw TWO TURKEYS! :-(
We're not sure what we're going to do tomorrow. We may go to a wildlife preserve near here. We leave here on Friday and go to Florida (finally!)
