Girls trip to Savannah

In Clarksville I formed some great friendships that I know will last a lifetime.  So far since I have moved from there two years ago we still manage to stay in touch and get together when we can.  This year several of us met up in Savannah where our friend Jenae moved a few months ago.  Erin, her daughter Claire, Me and Ava all loaded up in my SUV and made the 6 hour drive to Jenae's house.  Lisa was already in Hilton Head visiting her family so the girls trip was all falling into place.  I didn't take many pictures but thankfully Erin did.  I borrowed the pictures and some of the details from Jenae's blog.

Wednesday night, Jenae's husband Steven volunteered to watch the kids so we could go have dinner and explore a little of Savannah.  We went downtown to City Market (a cute square that has a fountain, restaurants, and shops) and ate at Belfords.  It was amazing!  Afterwards, we walked to Wright Square where we met for our Haunted "Ghost" Tour.  Our guide was very good and we learned lots about the history of Savannah and the spirits that are said to still haunt it.

 Our Ghost Tour began with a full moon........ooooooohhhhh  spooky!

 Spanish moss grows on all of the Live Oaks down here, except this one pictured below.  All of the trees around it have moss, but this tree grows over the place where the gallows were originally located.  The tale is that a pregnant woman was sentenced to death for killing a man, and as soon as the baby was born she was hanged.  14 days later the baby died too, and the mother still lives in these trees, searching for her baby.  yes, be scared.  I'm a skeptic when it comes to ghosts, but it is extremely strange that there is no moss on this tree...I could possibly be convinced.  we'll see...

Below is the remodeled, but original structure for a children's hospital from back in the day .  Do you see any Orbs?  Ghosts?

 Below is a beautiful mansion made completely of cast iron.  Savannah burned down twice in the past, and to ensure against that, some built their homes completely out of iron.  crazy.  Extremely beautiful and supposedly haunted.

 Cemetery downtown.  haunted, too. 

What a fun trip with the girls it was!  Beach, great food, shopping, pool, late night talks and time with friends.  Thanks Jenae for hosting our fun week together.  We sure do miss you!!!
