Boat trip to Savannah

On Monday, Bruce & I went to the "social" at the resort.  We had snacks, drinks, and heard about things to do in the area.  Each person was given a raffle ticket for some "gift certificates".  I won a gift certificate for the racing Zip Line which I was not interested in using.  Near-by was a family with a young lady (probably in her 20's)  She looked more of the Zip Line type than me so I offered her my certificate which she took.  Her family had won a boat cruise to Savannah which they could not use because they were leaving the next day so we traded (about $100 value).  The boat cruise goes out on Thursdays this time of year so we went to Savannah by boat.  

Trip was about 1 1/2 hours.

 Nice day until about 2:00 when it started to rain.


 Ship wreck from Civil War period.
 Harbor going into Savannah is a very busy, working harbor.


Container ship leaving harbor - it was huge!

One of our favorite sites when we took a tour another time had been the Cathedral.  We walked back to see it again this year.

 A beautiful Nativity Scene was set up.


 On the way back, we met up with a couple more container ships - one coming in and one going out.

All in all - a nice day!
