On Oct 6, the day after my 60th birthday, my sister treated me to a wonderful trip to Savannah for 3 days. We did everything we could do in 3 days that was possible. We took the tour bus during the day and saw the sights, remembering where we wanted to stop off the 2nd time around. We took 2 ghost tours, one on the tram, the 2nd on the horse and carriage. Both were full of stories of "happenings" in Savannah and inside different houses. Savannah is the most haunted city in the states...and according to some of the stories I believe it. We also found Mrs. Wilkes, a restraunt that had the most delicious family style setting menu. There was everything on the table and the dishes kept being passed around. I couldn't eat everything, but I sure wanted to try it all. We also found an Irish Pub where my sister and I shared a most authentic Shepard's Pie. We also shared a wonderfully tasty whiskey soaked cake with a light and feathery citris frosting. We found candy stores, wine cellars, souvenier stores, jewelry stores, some of the most beautiful archietecture around and listened to wonderful historical stories. On the 3rd day we decided to go over to Tybee Island and drove around. We hit some of the stores and found the lighthouse and of coarse another restraunt...The Crabb Shack.... We had crabb legs and shrimp and couldn't eat it all. The most varied seafood platters I have seen in a long time. Most importantly tho', we found each other as sisters again. We took the time to talk, listen and laugh and truly bonded again. It was great......
