Day 62 Beaufort & Savannah




Beaufort has a waterfront park that is so pretty with hanging swings lining the walkway, outdoor tables, playground (like a pirate ship) and outdoor amphitheater.


















We stayed at the Beaufort Marina on Monday, rented a car for a day, and drove to Savannah. We have decided to detour off the ICW for Georgia but did not want to miss Savannah. It was less to rent the car and stay at this marina than travel there by boat. We took a 90min trolley tour with a hilarious driver telling us everything there is to know (and some we shouldn't know) about the city of Savannah. There are beautiful old houses with lots of wrought iron for fencing and ornamentation. Apparently the more iron you had the wealthier you were. After the tour we drove to the Savannah waterfront and walked along the shops and restaurants lining the street. Of course we could not leave without stopping into the candy store for a southern praline! What a treat. it's made from sugar, butter, and pecans!








This Savannah home was an inspiration for Disney. The Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom is an exact replica of this house!!!
