Marilyn's March to the Sea

Monday morning we loaded up our car and checked out of our beautiful Panama City Beach condo. (We REALLY loaded up our car! It was packed “to the gills” since we had our things and Tommy’s and Donna’s things, too. But my trusty Prius was up to the task and handled it all!) We took Tommy and Donna to the airport for their flight back to Texas. After our good-byes to Tommy and Donna we started our drive to Savannah, Georgia. Good-bye, Florida! Thanks for an AWESOME week!
After driving seven hours we arrived in Savannah. We are staying at a beautifully renovated historical inn called “17 Hundred 90 Inn”. One of the rooms in the main inn is reputed to have a ghost, Annie, make appearances. We are not staying in that room, but I’m sure Annie knows I’m here, and that I’m friendly. I will let you know if she makes her presence known to me!
We quickly unpacked our things for our two days here and walked down to River Road by the Savannah River. River Road is full of great shops and restaurants. I found a FANTASTIC candy store named “Savannah’s Candy Kitchen”. Of course, I bought a couple of samples to enjoy later tonight! They also had homemade ice cream and you could also watch them making Pralines. We stopped at a restaurant/bar called “One-Eyed Lizzy’s”. Mondays are “Margarita Mondays” at “One-Eyed Lizzy’s”, so I’m sure you know what I ordered. Ladd had a beer and we munched on some GREAT, spicy Taco Dip with taco chips. One of the best things about our visit there was our fun waitress/bartender, Rhonda! Thanks for the conversation and laughs, Rhonda!
As we headed back to our room at “17 Hundred 90 Inn”, we decided to stop in at their bar. It brought to mind “Cheers”: full and welcoming. We met a couple at the bar and had a good conversation and many laughs with them and with the bartender.  It definitely didn’t take us long to feel “at home” in Savannah!
