At a Georgia Welcome Center

The elephants at a fireworks store 9one of several) just across the state border into South Carolina.

Pickled eggs and pigs feet- in bulk!

Chicken pox!

Amazing magnolias...

Battlefield Memorial Park in honor of lives lost during the Siege of Savannah- Revolutionary War, 1779.
Spring Hill Redoubt

Spanish moss... everywhere!

The lovely pool complex for our neighborhood...

Indigo Lake in our neighborhood... Caution!

Ft. McAllister State Park... the end of Sherman's March to the Sea.

The living history folks were so gracious- taught the kids how to fire the cannon
(without actually firing, of course).

Savannah Wildlife Refuge

Our first alligator sighting! 

A little alligator was relaxing in the shady water below.

What you can't see are the mosquitos hovering...

Teaching them young...

We saw at least five large gators in the canal that feeds the refuge (formerly rice fields).

Tybee Lighthouse

Low Tide at Tybee's North Beach

Digging up the little creatures that make airholes in the sand
(one pinched Ian- that was the closest he got to catching one).

The mommy was there, too.

The kids were catching these little crabs by diggin in the sand
in the water as the tide was receding.

Gator Lagoon at the Original Crab Shack, Tybee Island
(Yes- we're feeding them- legally!)

Aaargh!
