Shivering in Savannah, Day 3

Forsyth Park. Who wouldn't want to play here?
On our last day in Georgia, the weather finally turned warm enough for us to be outside without becoming frozen popsicles. We returned to the biggest square in Savannah, Forsyth Park, and let the girls enjoy the playground. While they were swinging and climbing, Chris and the camera went for a walk. Here are some of my favorite house/park picks from days 2 and 3:












After Ally and Cora had their fill of the swings and the other playground equipment, it was time for American Idol tryouts. We play AI whenever the girls find a stage (real or imaginary), so this means we play it pretty much anytime and everywhere.

They sang. They danced. They drew both crazy looks and happy smiles from strangers. They were evaluated. They both received golden tickets and are going to Hollywood. Yay!
You better vote for these two in 15 years!

Next, we wandered over to the downtown market. Ally got to meet Justin "Beever". She likes some of his songs, but he's not her favorite artist. All the other girls in her class, however, swoon at the mere mention of his name. Naturally, she had to take a picture with him to make them all jealous.

Another star sighting.
We tried our luck at Lady and Sons for lunch, but we had no reservations and didn't want to wait until 3 pm to be seated. We ended up going back to the market and eating at a gelato shop. My salad and Chris' sandwich were good-- just not as buttery as Paula Dean would have made them.

After one last potty break and a little more running around another park (Savannah has over 20 parks/squares), it was time to head home.Maybe next time we'll go on an actual tour. Maybe next time it will be a lot warmer!
Chess, anyone?

Savannah looks like such a fancy place to live! I love that one house with all the steps covered in vines/ivy. And I am so glad that Ally isn't caught up with Bieber fever.

I seriously need to go there sometime to visit. By the way, the boys and I will be headed down to NC this summer (if I don't go insane with the two of them in the car for 7 hours). Want to meet up?
