What's New in November?
It’s finally a bit cooler now. There have been a couple of cold fronts come through, and they may not seem like much to those who really experience cold fronts, but for us being in the 50s is a joy.
We took a few days and headed to Savannah for a get-away. It was nice; the weather was comfortable, and we wandered amongst the streets along the river and downtown. Eating and shopping our way through. Harry had a lot of attention, and little girls got their photos taken with him. He was in heaven.
I did some Christmas shopping from local artists, and with the Savannah College of Design and Art right there, the art was prevalent and eclectic. It was a delight to behold. Plus, it was potential student and parent weekend, so there were many young, promising artists milling about on the streets, making it a very entertaining weekend. Lots of hopeful future artists building their portfolios.
We didn’t get to visit the museums—mostly because Harry couldn’t go in—, but there was some inclement weather that caused at least one fort to flood and shut down some other places due to rising water. We managed to see the lighthouse and mill about in Foley Square. We looked for Forrest Gump’s bench in Chickasaw Square, but apparently that was a movie prop that they brought in for him to sit on and took away when the filming was over. I was sort of disappointed, but not terribly. It was a beautiful park none the less.
We stayed at the iconic Thunderbird Inn in historic Savannah. We got moonpies and RC Cola.
