On Tuesday, July 3rd, we drove the short distance (about 45 mintues) to Savannah, Georgia. Joe had never been there before (and neither had the kiddos) so we thought it would be a nice break from the daily beach excursion. Growing up, Courtney's family tried to go to Savannah whenever they went to Hilton Head for vacation. They always ate at a restaurant called "The Pirate's House" and had Shirley Temple drinks in pirate boots! The Pirate's House is an actual building where pirates are known to have stayed! Since Carter is really into pirates, we thought this would be a fun experience for him. We did the touristy trolley tour, ate at The Pirate's House, toured down Main Street by the water, ate yummy pralines, and sweat off lots of weight! It was so incredibly hot but the kids were real troopers! When we got back to our condo later that afternoon, we had a laid back evening staying in and going to the pool.
Ding, Ding, Ding went the trolley (more like putt, putt, putt went the trolley)! The behind-the-scenes story: We had to get off our trolley and wait for a new trolley to pick us up after this one shut down!
Arrrrgggghhhh Matey! Isn't this the cutest little pirate you've ever seen?
Carter was a little unsure of the "pirate" walking around talking to everyone! He kept his eye on him the ENTIRE TIME at lunch!

This was Camden's first and she thoroughly enjoyed it!)
