I don't think I've mentioned it on the blog yet, but I LOVE my job! Not only do I get to do what I'm passionate about, but my employer also sends me on trips to cool places! My first conference was in Savannah, GA and I was lucky enough to travel with a couple of my awesome co-workers/friends (June 2008)! We learned a lot and had a great time exploring the city on our down time.
Our hotel was right on historic River Street and our first night in Savannah, we found this little dive bar that bragged about having the "coldest, cheapest beer in town". So for quality control purposes, we HAD to test it out! Needless to say, we we kept coming back for more...night after night! Ha! Did I mention you can carry your adult beverages with you as you walk around Savannah?? Another bonus!
Check out the view of River St. from my hotel room! See that big barge and those tiny looking legos things on top? Those are actually HUGE tractor trailers stacked on top of each other. These barges were a common site during our stay.
Our first night in Savannah, we went on a late night "Ghost Tour." It ended up being not all that scary and a bit cheesy, but we still had a good time! This first statue was located in one of Savannah's many "Squares". WARNING: I'm not going to be the best at remembering all the landmark names because we saw sooooo many! I should've taken notes!!
Now, I'll take you around town for a bit! First up is Stacy and Tori chillin' on the trolly!
I absolutely loved this fountain and our tour guide said it was one of the most beloved sights in the city. Crazy thing is this is the replica of some fountain in Paris. However, THIS one was actually purchased from a mail order catalogue!!
I just really liked this sign so wanted to snap a pic. Funny...place is called Sorry Charlies and it was actually condemned and closed down! Rut roh =(
Signin' off with a pretty Savannah sunset!!
