March 2, 2006 - Savannah, Georgia

Our day started fairly early again and we started looking through some of the tourist brochures to see what might be interesting to do today. There were so many choices. We decided to go downstairs and have some breakfast and then decide what to do with our day. We then determined that we had to find a good cup of coffee, not an easy chore in the south. I did see a Starbucks on Bull St. downtown but that is at least 30 minutes away, we didn't need one that bad.

We took a drive down to the Piggly Wiggly, the local grocery store. Picked up some healthy snacks and laundry detergent. Figured we would have a quiet day at the hotel doing laundry and playing on the computers...always something to do on the commputers :-).

Anyway, no luck with getting a laundry done, we soon discovered the laundry room was out of order, seems it has been out of order for the last month. There was police caution tape on the door and a sign that said, "Do not Remove, Crime Scene". Yikes!!!!!We took a drive over to the hotel up the road and decided it was time to move...actually it was quite funny, Darlene went to the front desk of the new place and asked if they had a laundry facility that was operating and they said yes, and she said great, we would like to check in tomorrow...so we are heading up the street and planning to stay there till Tuesday.

We had a very relaxing day, we were due for a day off, have been on the go pretty steady since we arrived here.

We ordered supper in tonight and went for a walk after supper. We have a tee time at the golf course tomorrow at 11:15am so will have to be on the go early tomorrow to get packed and moved to the new place before going golfing.

I see Coleen is still in first place at the Scott, she is something else...

I talk to my Mom every day and Darlene talks to her parents every day as well...we are so lucky to have MSN to keep in touch, makes it so easy. My Mom was telling me the weather has been pretty cool, although we are missing home and everyone there now, we sure don't miss the cold weather. My Mom is taking fiddle lessons, she started in September, imagine, 71 years old and just learning the fiddle. She is enjoying it and has my Dad interested as well...they both have their own fiddles now...and she is teaching him. The latest song she is learning is Out on the Mira, which happens to be my favorite...Here is a little clip of her and Dad back in the fall (they were just rookies here, you should hear them now!)...can you guess what they are playing?
