Savannah, GA

We took a daytrip on Wednesday to Savannah, the home of Paula Deen food, Spanish Moss and our best meal had while on vacation. It was pouring rain all day in the region, so that took the beach out of the equation. But Savannah was neat, even while drenched.

We ate at Belford's, housed in a building completed in 1902 for Savannah's Hebrew Congregation. In 1913, the Congregation sold the building to W.T. Belford for $23,000. He began a wholesale food business which is still kicking today in the form of a fine restaurant. Ron had honey/pepper glazed porkchops with Savannah red rice and wilted collards. Julia had "shrimp, greens and grits," and Summer just had a little fruit.

Summer likes crayons.


The afromentioned pork chops, 'n such.

Daddy and Summer in Belford's.


Julia and Summer at a fountain in one of several town squares that dot Savannah.


The little girl in the background kept giving Summer dimes to throw in the fountain. Summer started the sharing by offering her a leaf. Kids. Sigh.


I think Summer pocketed one of the dimes. She's looking guilty of something. :) Kidding.


Wrought iron work on the riverfront buildings of Savannah.


This crazy-old Freemason's hall used to be the Savannah Cotton Exchange. Nice building.


Walkway bridge near the river, near downtown Savannah.


Spanish Moss everywhere. Not as goopy as it looks when you touch it.
