We started the day at the Wormsloe Plantation in Savannah. It has the most beautiful oak lined entryway and no, it is not the one from Forrest Gump. I think I'm going to make this a black and white pic and frame it for my house.
Wormsloe was built by one of the first settlers to the Savannah area (1733). The house is no longer standing but there are still some tabby ruins. Tabby is what they used to build stuff like walls and was a mix of lime, water, sand, oyster shells and ash. There are actually a lot of shells used in construction all over Savannah including some old streets.

After Savannah, we decided to head to Charleston. We hadn't planned on stopping there originally but we figured we'd driven all that way so might as well spend more time in the area. It was a 2.5 hour drive north of Savannah and we opted to pass through the city and spend the night on one of the surrounding beaches. It was a little nicer than Tybee Island and we got a room right on the beach.
Eating dinner at the restaurant next to our hotel. Jason had the blackened Mahi-Mahi that was so good even I enjoyed it (and I generally hate seafood).
Bridget also enjoyed dinner.
Well...most of it.
We had such a good time we decided to stay another day so stay tuned for more Charleston...
