We reached Savanna, Ya’ll!

Whew, it was a long drive, but we made it. The first thing we noticed while driving into Savannah, was the amazing Spanish Moss! I loved it. We spent the first two hours at the Sentient Bean, a hipster coffee shop! It played awesome music, had cool art, and good coffee.
Octavio loves Spanish Moss!
After our time at the coffee shop, we drove around Savannah and tried to go into the Bonaventure Cemetary, but it was closed. It was raining, so we gave up on the sight seeing and headed over to the Pirate House. Tasha and I stuffed ourselves with sea food and drank like pirates. LOL. JK! (But maybe.) Octavio didn’t enjoy our sea food, but did love the pirates.
Octavio want a cracker?
Tasha's about to make Octavio walk the plank. Aargh!
We explored a bit more, and then decided to head back to the hotel. We wanted to make margaritas back at the hotel and go in the pool, but it was impossible to find a liquor store. After asking at two gas stations and driving around for almost and hour, we found one. We also had to be creative when we were mixing it up.
Mmm, Margaritas.
After we made some margaritas, we decided to head down to the pool. It was 11:20ish, but the hotel clerk had told us the pool was open all night. So, we headed down and took a quick dip.

If you look closely at the picture, you will see Octavio, but also something else special making an appearance. LOL! Anyway, Tasha found a kitten and mama cat hanging around the pool and was wooing them. The hotel clerk came out and said the pool was closed! Urgh, we had been lied to. We were getting reading to go but, apparently, we had attracted some attention of our own. Two hillbilly Georgians came down to swim, and FLIRT! They were asking lots of questions and had awesome accents. Alas, we weren’t buying the lines and hurried back to our rooms.
After some scary TV (Monster Mysteries), we went to bed. Night, ya’ll!
Bed time!
