While in South Carolina, we decided to take a trip to Savannah, GA. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive (or 3 1/2 hours when driving with Austin). We had to take 3 cars, due to the car seats and number of people going. It worked out well, as Gram and Gramps continued driving home from Savannah. We spent the first day touring the historic district, wandering through the history museum, riding an open air trolley around town, and getting off at various stops to wander through parks and buildings. Austin was great, sleeping in the carrier, and being a talkative, happy baby when awake. It was definitely warm, but the shade wasn't too bad. We had an early dinner at The Lady and Son's restaurant. The food was good, not fantastic, and the atmosphere was NOISY! Austin couldn't handle the noise, so we took turns taking him outside.
The evening was spent wandering the river walk, checking out various shops and enjoying treats from the candy/ice cream shop. Grandpa got his coveted flavored Tootsie Rolls, and the rest of us enjoyed some gelato. We watched some GIGANTIC ships go through the river and under the bridge.
The last day was spent wandering by the river again, riding the free ferry across the river and back (Austin's first boat ride), enjoying a fantastic meal at a local restaurant, and taking 4 generation pictures with Gram. We then, reluctantly, said goodbye to Gram and Gramps, and headed back to Shannon and Ryan's. The 2 1/2 hour drive, again, took 3 1/2 hours with Mr. I-Hate-My-Car-Seat.

See the people standing near the stairs on the white part of the ship?
Better shot of people on the ship. That's one big ship!!!
Nice shot Shannon took.
Pretty sunset with giant ships.
The best one of all three of them.

Sleeping through his first boat ride. We had to go outside because the
noise from the motor was REALLY loud inside.
