Savannah Trip-- Part 4: Trains and History and Kittens

MONDAY, APRIL 8

Trip to Savannah today.  We took a tour of the Savannah Railroad Museum which features a round house and had a nice talk with some people refurbishing an old engine.

Then we walked over to the nearby Savannah Historical Museum which has  a lot of stuff from all ages of the city's past.  Also on the grounds are some of the recreated American Revolution Battle of Savannah where the Polish officer/American General Pulaski was killed.

Today was also the much hyped Day of the Eclipse.  Ed and I didn't have the special glasses so didn't get too see it.  Julie was more fortunate and was with someone who had the glasses so she got to see it.

My sister Julie has established a cat rescue house and was involved with that most of the time I was there.  And, she did her best to get me to adopt one of those kittens and was sorely tempted, I must admit.  She brought two kittens home for me to play with:  Olaf and Daisy, but Daisy looked like one of those Star War Ewoks so that got to be her name.

Savannah Trip-- Part 3: A Confederate Fort, Low Country Boil, Church and a New House

SATURDAY, APRIL 6

Ed and I were off to Richmond Hill, Georgia, to the south of Savannah to visit Confederate For McAllister, site of several battles between the fort and Union ironclads as well as the destruction of the CSS Nashville.

We then went by Julie's old house in Richmond Hill.

We feasted in a low country boil which was bought from Wood's Seafood near their house.  We had more than enough for just $25.

SUNDAY, APRIL 7

Went to church with them at a modernistic one near them, then had breakfast at Henry's.  Later took a ride north to Bluffton, South Carolina and did a walk-through of Julie's son's nearly-completed home which is quite a structure.

My Trip to Savannah in April

From Wednesday, April 3 to Tuesday, April 9, I flew from Milwaukee to Savannah by way of Atlanta and back for a seven day visit with my sister and her boyfriend.  I hadn't been on a plane for many years, but am thinking of flying more often now.

I am writing more extensively about the trip in my RoadDog's RoadLog blog.

April 3--  Wednesday

It was a rather eventful trip to Savannah and essentially involved all day after the flight out of Milwaukee on Delta was delayed three hours causing me to miss my connection in Atlanta and not getting to Savannah until after midnight.  Way past my bedtime.  This was a hard day of flying, but I will go on another flight.  If you want to know the fun details go to RoadDog's Blog.
