Day with Casey - Savannah, GA

April 19th - Sunday - Rainy

We spent the weekend in Savannah, GA with Lou's grandson, Casey and his girl friend, Allie.  We always look forward to this time and this weekend was special.  We had severe weather; however, with all that Casey had planned for us, we were able to do all of it in between the weather.

Casey has an apartment in downtown Savannah in the historic area and it is just a beautiful place.  At this time of the year, the spring flowers and shrubs are blooming and even in the rain, it was so pretty.

Casey has a raised garden and he has already harvested his peas and we were amazed at the height of his potatoes, hopefully what is under the ground is as large as what is on top of the ground.

They took us to Carly for breakfast and it was a wonderful place to eat.  Allie stood in line for us and while she was waiting for our place, Casey took us on a quick tour of some of the historic homes around the area.  Lou and I had taken the Trolley tour last time we were in the area last year, so a lot of it looked familiar, but Casey was able to point out interesting areas to us.

After breakfast we went on a driving tour of the area, going out to Bonaventure Cemetery, which is huge.  Many well known people have been buried there, one is Johnny Mercer.

Confederate States of America

These were all monuments of railroads employees.

We saw so many wonderful sights and I find that I really didn't take a lot of pictures, as it was rainy and I was sitting in the back seat; however, we had a great time as we always do and the time went very quickly and we left after having dinner at a seafood shack, where the guys enjoyed fresh oysters and we also had fresh shrimp salad sandwiches all of which were served on newpapers.  Great food and the rained stopped for a few minutes and had a beautiful sunset.
