Savannah, Georgia

We spent New Years weekend down in Savannah Georgia.  We visited the super classy rest stop by the highway South of the Border, Fort Pulaski, Tybee Island, and a tour of downtown Savannah. Fort Pulaski was a turning point for the Civil War when the Union Army successfully tested rifled cannon in combat in 1862 there, the success of which rendered brick fortifications obsolete. We weren't there very long but the kids loved running around the fort grounds.  I got my stamp! The next day we went to Tybee Island that had a beautiful beach.  Savannah has a huge cargo port so we got to see several enormous cargo ships go into the port.  It was a bit rainy the next day so we got a bus tour of the city center.
