Savannah was to be our Spring Road Trip this year. Susan and I and wanted to visit this Southeastern city for some time, after visits to Charleston and St. Augustine. Drew, on Spring Break from teaching, came along, too. From the blogs I have read, it seems most travelers go to Savannah after reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I had neither read the book nor seen the film or knew the story. But that would change as a result of the trip!
We arrived in Savannah in the early evening after a good days drive down Interstate from Northern Virginia. Our GPS led us to to the southern, newer, side of Savannah and our hotel, the Hampton Inn. We were not staying in the citys historic district, but Abercorn Street nearby led straight up to it. A landmark in this neighborhood was a huge globe painted like the Earth. Many have identified it as a water tower, but it is actually a natural gas storage tank. It was certainly fun to see it from the hotel and drive by every day!
a regional chain down the other way on Abercorn Street. Wed start our historic district exploration on the morrow.
