Yes another Vacation....

We love to travel...if you haven't figured that out yet...so for Scott's fall break we took advantage of a great Southwest deal(we both flew round trip for under $200) and jetted off to Charleston, SC and then drove down to Savannah, GA.  This was Scott and Max's 1st time in either city and my first time to remember it(I went as a young child according to my parents).  Max did great traveling as always except for a brief screaming baby on the plane moment when we were taking off from Nashville.  Our flight left at 6am and I thought that would be good hoping he would just sleep.  I should have known better. Mr. Nosey was wide eyed the whole time until we got on the plane and he realized he was VERY tired but did not want to go back to sleep.  Once in Charleston we got our rental car, yet again another great deal from Priceline, and off to Savannah.  After checking into the hotel we did a little sight seeing, dinner, then a early bed time.  Scott and I were up at like 3:30am.  Max is great at going to bed, he has a great routine.....well we were in a new place and his routine was shot to H E double hockey sticks.  Needless to say the Valet at the hotel got to see one tired grumpy mama, whoops I meant baby as he got our car so Max could be driven around until he fell asleep.  The next nights went a bit smoother.

The next morning we got our dinner reservations for The Lady and Son's Restaurant, bbreakfast, then hopped on the tourist mobile AKA trolley.  Now the only form of transit Max hasn't been on is a ferry or ship.  We loved the trolley tour.  We could hop on and off as we pleased and got a lot of info!  Dinner of course was excellent!  Neither Scott or I could barely put a dent in our food though.  So sad to waste.  We loved Savannah!  So gorgeous and my fav part was the gardens in all of the squares.  Every block or two was a square and you could just sit, stroll, or even play surrounded by history.

Our last day in Savannah we drove out to Tybee Island(only about 20min from Savannah).  You will not see any pictures.  We never even stopped.  We did not see what all the fuss is about.  Tybee is just a VERY small old typical beach town.  There wasn't even a public parking area where you could get out and walk on the beach.  You just had to find a random spot somewhere on a street.  That is great if that is what you love but we like a little more action.  Scott and I never even stopped the car.

Charleston is another very historic city.  We did some touring of our own the first night, and ended up with some yummy cupcakes :)  The downtown historic area is very spread out so we decided to take yet another tour.  This time by Mule!  the guide was talking about the mules and how they get theirs from Middle TN.  Represent!!  Another great tour but Max was ready to get off about 15min before we were done so a slightly fussy baby kept us entertained.  After our tour we hopped in the car and went to Boone Hall Plantation.  This was my favorite stop.  This plantation is also known as America's most photographed plantation.  The driveway is lined with 200 year old oaks and the house has been in several movies including The Notebook(the summer home of the Hamiltons). We toured the house, slave cabins, and even a tour of the actual plantation grounds via open air coach.  Then it was off to the airport for our journey home.

Out of both cities Scott and I would go back to Savannah over Charleston.  Mainly because Savannah is much more walking friendly and that their historic area is so spread out.
