July 4th pictures... finally

Over the 4th of July weekend we went to Savannah! We apologize for not posting pictures sooner, but we took so many shots Mom could not decide which ones to choose! We hope you enjoy these.



This is the famous Bonaventure Cemetery where the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is based. It was a beautiful place with incredible headstones, statues, and even vaults that held many family members in one structure. I like this picture because it really shows off the Spanish Moss that grows on nearly every tree in Savannah.

The rumor is that if you do not see the moss, you are in a haunted area, so watch out. Savannah is known as the most haunted city in America! We went on a ghost tour while there, but I did not see any ghosts.

Isn't this beautiful??? It is the road into a famous plantation, although the name escapes me right now... We did not tour the place, just took the picture. Then we headed to Tybee Island to experience the beach....

What am I supposed to do with this stuff???


Ahh... that's what you do, huh? Thanks, Dad.



Mom, just pick something to eat. I know you are excited to be at a famous southern restaurant, but you don't have to be so over-dramatic about it!


Who thought it was a good idea to have a pirate join us?
(We ate at Pirate's Cove - a famous little southern restaurant that supposedly is haunted by the pirates that used to eat there.)



And finally... the fireworks. Dad and I were both mesmerized; can't you tell?

I'm glad to hear you guys had fun in Savannah! Looks like a great trip! I'm so so sorry about your knee. :( I had a doctor once tell me I would never be able to play volleyball again if I didn't want knee problems. I just started to cry. That's no fun!
