July 4th Trip to Savannah

To change things up from our usual routine of spending time in Atlanta together, Amy drove down to Macon to come to see me for July 4th. We considered going to see a concert with fireworks performed by Warner Robins High School Bands, the Air Force Band, and Lee Greenwood (Singer of "I'm Proud to Be an American"), but when we drove by the stadium it was a complete MADHOUSE with probably 30-40,000 people and every parking lot within a mile packed full. Since long walks from parking, lack of adequate seating, and long lines for bathrooms are not pregnant-people friendly we decided against it. On the morning of July 4th Amy and I had no plans. She said, "I wish we were at the beach for July 4th." We realized that Savannah was only 2 and a half hours from Macon so on the spot we decided to go. In Savannah we went for a walk down River Street stopping for Chocolate Pralines, Fudge, Salt-water Taffee and a Snow Cone (we're on the all-sugar, all-the-time diet). After getting a good sugar buzz we went out to Tybee island for some sand and surf. Since we didn't know we were going to the beach that day, neither of us brought our bathing suits so we didn't stay long on the beach, but it was nice to get some sand between our toes and feel the ocean water lapping on our legs. Attached are some pictures of the sights we saw.
