Colonial Park Cemetary, Savannah GA

This is a beautiful cemetary that has a good number of raised plots as well as underground plots. Many were victims of yellow fever including a couple of doctors that were treating them. It was closed in1853, no burials since then.

Charleston,SC to Savannah, GA

Both of these pictures are of the Angel Oak tree, 400 year old Virginia Live Oak located  just south of Charleston, SC. It is massive and beautiful. Many branches have had some added supports to keep them from snapping. They are so long they reach the ground and are hollow inside. It would be a great climbing tree but it is not allowed- you are allowed to hug it and rub it!

From there we headed to Savannah, GA and did another 8+ miles of sightseeing. It is very to get around on foot. The historic section has 23 separate squares, each with a fountain, statue or feature. They are all very pretty and plenty of park benches to sit and enjoy.

 

Charleston, SC

We got in around 11:30 but our room at the Days Inn was not ready. We parked and she off on foot to see this beautiful historic city. It is very walkable and easy to get around. We put on 6.5 miles looking at parks, gardens and shops. By 4:30 we were able to get into our room where we cleaned up and relaxed before dinner.

Beginning Spring break 2018

We are headed south this year. First night out we spent with Joe and Sheila in Sunset Beach, NC. We had a good beer at a nearby brewery, had pizza and sat outside around the fire pit. It was good seeing them!
