Savannah Here We Come!

So today we got up early. To Christine's dismay, we left the house at 6:30 to head to Savannah.  

There was ALOT of traffic. 

Once we got through Atlanta we stopped at IHOP for breakfast.  Super G and Kay enjoyed their morning cup of Joe. 

Nicholas our waiter was fantastic. 

We made friends along the drive...like this guy who kept pace with us..,until we took his picture...then he held back...not sure why...

We made it to Savannah and checked into our hotel; the Mansion on Forsyth Park. 

The rooms are incredible with a view of the park, huge beds and large bath with soaking tub. 

Kay tried to soak in the tub but noticed a certain furry blue adorable monster looking over the wall at her...oh the horror!

They have art hanging all over.  Since they didn't name the pieces we did. 

Here is Teddy Bear with Big Boobs:

Carlos and the Monkey

Angry Cabbage vs. The Tree

Mono-boob

My Little Pony on Acid

Grover had his picture taken with some of the art too:

We went out and got on the Old Savannah Tour trolley (which conveniently has a stop right at the hotel). Just in time too because it started pouring rain and whipping wind as soon as we got on.  Our tour driver was Bill MacIntosh (AKA Billy Mac).

Some sites from our tour:

The oldest hospital which has tunnels under from where they brought people out to have them incinerated so disease would spread. 

The oldest tree in Savannah (over 500  years old)

Forrest Gump jumped in board

We went to Paula Dean's restaurant for lunch. Not recommended.  Food was gross and way to heavy.  

After lunch we walked down along the shops. I found my favorite sho(and, of course, bought some hats)!

Mom bought her pralines from these guys. 

Grover had his picture take with Christine along the way 

He also took his picture with some of the sites

Once we were done we took the hotel shuttle back from the waterfront. Mom took a nap. Chris, Kay, Grover and I headed to the packie. 

Grover was rocking out with his wooden cock at the packie. 

 Then he sailed away with the captain. 

Savannah allows you to walk with an open container which we took full advantage of!  

When we got back to the hotel, Grover got his drink on!

It was down hill from there. Apparently Super G can't hold his liquor. 

First he trapped himself in a glass case:

 Then he came out of the bathroom with toilet paper on his boot (how embarrassing) 

We found him hanging from the chandelier!  

Eventually he passed out in the ice bucket 

Next thing we knew he was getting frisked, cuffed and stuffed in a cop car. 

We had to bail him out and get him back to the hotel. 

We left Grover and took a walk around Forsyth Park. 

Kay and Chris found flowers to accessorize with; so beautiful!

Kay made some new pasties!

We walked around the park and found a lovely fountain.  Chris and Kay used their drinks to mimic the fountain. 

Kay illegally climbed the fence to rinse off in the fountain. 

We played on the springy toucan and duck. 

Chris and Kay almost used these toilets....yikes!

As we got back to the hotel we took Grover's picture on the horse statue. 

One of the valet guys asked what we were doing and we told him about Grover.  He asked if we had a picture with a "random black guy".  We said no so he asked to be included...who are we to say no!

Then he thought it would be funny if Grover was hitting him. 

The ladies at reception wanted to be in on the fun too!

When we got back to the room Grover repented for his sins. 

Since he was sorry we took him to the bar with us for an espresso martini. 

We finally went back to the room and headed to bed. 

Christine was texting Kay and I from her room about moms snoring. We ended the night by sending her this picture of us wearing some new hats:

Quote of the day:

Jason the bartender at the mansion: the devils beating his wife.  Apparently this is what they say when it's sunny out but it's raining.
