Ellabell Georgia

This was our second HipCamp experience. We had a relaxing quiet spot on someone’s property. We didn’t spend a lot of time at camp, but it was a very convenient spot for a couple of trips into Savannah.

Eating an Italian theme lunch and sampling our Savannah blueberry cider.

Savannah Georgia

Savannah is another beautiful southern city full of history. I love the many park squares located throughout the city. We visited Savannah a few times with our daughter, Sarah, when our son-in-law was stationed near here at Fort Stewart. It was fun to revisit some places that were full of good memories.

Forsyth Park

Historic Monuments

Statue of John Westley. His American ministry was here in The Georgia Colony.
Statue of Haitian soldiers who fought with the colonies against the British in the American Revolutionary War.
Interesting history on the young drummer boy represented in this statue and his rise to kingship (See plaque below).

Historic Buildings

Owen Thomas House
We thought this bridge over the stairway was very interesting and unique.
Far cry from the modern ovens

Food and Fun

Gregarious Roger chatting with a local.
Breakfast at Two Cracked Eggs Restaurant.
We were looking out the window of the restaurant when suddenly the view was blocked by this HUGE cargo ship!

Christmas at the Cathedral

Saint John the Baptist Cathedral

Gorgeous Cathedral built in 1893
A Feast for the eyes! The architecture, stained glass, and paintings were stunning!
We happened to be in Savannah the day of this musical cantata. The church was full of people and the choir and orchestra music was moving. We were delighted when we had the opportunity to join in singing familiar Christmas carols.
We were happy to get a seat for the music program in this very full house!

Savannah gets a thumbs up!👍
