Surrounding Forsyth park were cute vintage houses.This is the house that General Sherman stayed in when he came down to the south.This is the view from the top of our hotel. The bridge led you right into South Carolina.

Savannah Georgia
The day after Christmas we started our drive up the Coast in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah was B-E-A-Utiful! It's a very historic city with about 25 squares throughout the city. So we spent one day just walking some of the squares. All the squares had amazing trees and some monument in the middle.We also went to this fun kitchen shop, this was my favorite item. The dude as a knife holder... haha. Probably wouldn't own it, but a cool idea. We walked around Forsyth park. This fountain was the main center of the park.
We took a drive around Bonaventure cemetery. Lots of old-old graves. This particular one was of litle Gracie. The artist sculpted her after she was dead from a photograph and then put this life size sculpture on her grave. She died when she was just about 6, from Pneumonia.There were some big tombs, like in Phantom of the opera. You could look through the stained glass and see a couple cement coffins with writing on them. Spooky!! Ahhhhh, just look at those trees!!! Love it!!We walked past this balcony many times... how funny! :)More to come from our vaca. soon!!
