Hi everyone. Bradley and I went to River Street on Saturday evening for the Seafood Festival and then a party, and we took some photos. Wanted to share my beautiful town with my TCS family. Anyone wanna come visit me here now?

This is the Olympic Torch that was constructed when we hosted the '96 Olympics (sailing and a couple of other sports). That's me next to it, playing tourist in my hometown.

This is the famous (or famous for Savannah, anyway) Waving Girl. What's she waving at? Legend has it she had a love who was in the military and would go down to the river with her dog and wave at all of the ships passing, in hopes that he was on one of them.


This is a view of the Savannah River. That big, fancy hotel just across the river? Would you believe that is in South Carolina??? Yup, we're that close to SC!

Hope you enjoyed your mini-tour of Savannah. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Thanks for the tour, Amy!
I love looking at pics like this, and Savannah looks like a great place to live.
And I must say, you look just like a friend of mine in the first pic... how cool is that!

I loved Savannah. We stayed at the Mulberry Inn. Is that still there? It was a while ago.

I've been before (when I was 14 and with an ex-boyfriend and his mom
) and thought that it was very pretty. When I went with the boyfriend we were going just to meet up with some of his family for lunch and were there for only a few hours! Shows you how close we really are! So, I'll leave now and be there in about 4 hours.

Are ya here yet Kath? LOL. Yeah, as boring as I thought this town was growing up, I obviously must love it to move back here after college!

And yup Chris, the Mulberry is still here. It's quite a nice place to get to stay here!

My door is always open to fellow cat-lovers if anyone ever wants to visit Savannah. I'm about 15 minutes from where these photos were taken (River Street) and half an hour from Tybee Beach!

My hubby, sister and I went to Savannah a couple of yrs ago when by sis was still living in Atlanta. Did the whole river street thing-saw some good street performers. Then went to Tybee island and bought some artwork at a small gallery there. Did the fort pulaski tour too!!

Funny story is my sister wanted to take a shortcut to the water-we were somewhere around a park by fort pulaski?? (cant remember) Anyhow she was wearing the cheap rubber flip flops and it was muddy and one flipflop got ripped by the suction of the mud. Then LOTS AND LOTS of little crabs were making there way to the water and she was in their path and had to run through them without anything on her feet!! She was screaming the whole way back!!! At least I had running shoes on!!

Good memory thanks for reminding me!!

Glad you like the pics Susan
Come visit! I'm not sure about any soaps being filmed here?

Sounds like you saw a lot here in Savannah, Gail. Ft. Pulaski is always a fun trip- and it is very very haunted!!!
That's a bummer about your sister's flip-flop. Yeah, the suction in our mud is a
. I went ot this marine science camp every year and we always did a marsh walk. Can't tell you how many shoes my mom had to replace!

Did anyone see the movie Forces of Nature with Ben Afflek and Sandra Bullock? It was filmed here in Savannah and BOTH of them now own homes here in town
