Traveling to NJ via Savannah, GA

Bob and I spent three days just south of Savannah, GA, a city we’ve been meaning to visit for years now. The campground itself was a lovely place, with multiple pools and hot tubs. One of the pools was a “lazy river” where you could just float, the current carrying you around and around.

It was very hot out so the river felt quite nice. There was also a little poolside bar, and this character showed up to remind us it was May 4th (May the Fourth Be With You.) Note the tattoos!

Earlier that day we drove into Savannah and walked around, stopping into one of the most beautiful cathedrals we have ever seen, Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.

The next day we booked a bus tour and went to all the major sights of Savannah. Such a pretty city. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Lafayette Square

Six Pence Pub, featured in the film, “Something to Talk About” with Julia Roberts

Magnolia Hall, built in 1878 for the grandson of Thomas Hayward, Jr, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence

The Pirate’s House, built in 1754, was an inn and a rendezvous spot for pirates, including the notorious Blackbeard. Robert Louis Stevenson’s book “Treasure Island” was set at that house. It is now a restaurant. Note the color of the door and shutters. Known as “Haunt Blue,” the color supposedly repels ghosts.

Then we were back on the road, traveling a couple hundred miles each day to get back to NJ for Monday. The weather transitioned from temperatures in the 90s to the 40s as we continued north. We stopped in Ridgeway, SC, Max Meadows, VA, and Winchester, VA for one night each. Finally, we arrived in NJ, just about two months since we left Mesa, AZ. We’ll be here for about three months.
