a trip

the family and I took a trip to Savannah Georgia last week. not for pleasure tho, the husband had a Georgia Science Teacher conference and I was…well, just there to get away from the city for a while. and of course little Ian was there too along with my mother who was acting as a full time nanny, I love that woman. we got to do lots of things that we haven’t the chance to do in a while, like bar hoping. oh how fun it was to go from bar to bar drinking all we could hold and not worry about who was driving home. our hotel was only one block away from the tourist trap known as River Street. but of course we kept to our budget and drank only the finest pints of PBRs . in Savannah you were allowed to carry your drinks onto the streets (unlike Atlanta) so we sat there, on the docks watching the boats pass along the river. it was gorgeous. we also went on a ghost tour (it was free, yay) and it was very interesting listening to the stories of old Savannah. one particular stuck with me. Rene. Rene was a child with mental problems who was often picked on by the neighborhood children. well he got back at them by killing their dogs. long story short, he was hung on wrongful accounts and he haunts the cemetery in which he was buried. we also made  a trip to the shore, Ian’s first time at the beach actually. it was too cold (75F) to go swimming so we walked along the beach gathering seashells. he was so terrified of the ocean, mainly because it was so large and cold. all in all, it was a very fun trip for all of us. and it just gets us more anxious for our trip to Key West in June.
