We're here in Savannah at the Hampton Inn in the historic district on Bay St. We have very nice adjoining rooms which make our stay more enjoyable because we're all together. Hannah got a little weary of the drive but Summer was excited and talked all the way here. I think if I described the drive in two words they would be "happy chaos." We finally arrived in town about 5:30 after an enthusiastic and fun drive here.
We got settled into our rooms and then we walked around the River Walk for a short time. We enjoyed a trio of street performers singing This Little Light of Mine and Amazing Grace in Motown style (the sound of my youth in a Detroit suburb). Afterward, we had a nice dinner at an authentic English pub and walked back to the hotel in a little rain.
Tomorrow we have plans to check out a Savannah cemetery and tour an old mansion if the weather allows. The forecast doesn't look too good right now but we've got umbrellas and ponchos if we need them. It doesn't really matter too much about the rain. A little of the wet stuff never hurt anyone and none of us are made of sugar so there's no danger of melting here.
Our breakfast is complimentary at the hotel so we are planning to be downstairs in the breakfast room about 9:00 a.m. to fuel up for the day we have planned. Summer can hardly stand waiting for each next new thing. Even our trip to the ice machine brought giggles and skipping down the hall to the ice and vending alcove. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she keeps all of us laughing at her energy and her antics.
I am so thankful to the Lord for this time with my girls. We have no real schedule and no hard and fast rules about what we're going to do while we're here. It's our time to relax and just hang out together. We're having a blast seizing the day.
Father, I love you so much and am grateful for time with my girls. Thank you. You are good to me.
Suz
