We loved exploring Savannah, even in the rain! Every block had these park squares that were so delightful!
There were many houses to tour, but unfortunately we didn't have time to tour the Mercer Williams house.
This house was quite grandiose!
And looking to the right.
And to the left. The yard was manicured perfectly and had many statues.
A famous fountain, but I forgot what it's called, ha ha!
My kids were soaking wet, but they were such good sports!
An obelisk behind the fountain of someone famous.
The Gingerbread House.
We found lots of fun and funky Victorian houses on our stroll.
I loved all the lamps everywhere. We even saw a gas burning lamp outside of a house.
My family strolling under the Spanish moss.
All of the red brick homes were my favorite!
I could move into this law office.
A beautiful church.
Walking past an old cemetery.
The regal entrance to the cemetery.
A cool church steeple.
Yep, red ricks, white sash bars in the windows, and black shutters is a classic favorite!
We did tour the Owens-Thomas house. This is the front.
The view from the front door looking out onto a park square.
The backyard.
One of the pots had the Starbucks symbol.
The quarters for the enslaved people was behind the backyard.
The master bedroom.
The head slave's bedroom.
The master's children's bedroom.
The slave's children's bedroom.
Visiting places like this is always uncomfortable. I am so sad that people used to enslave other people as if it was normal. I am still sad because today people still enslave other people, it's just done in secret. If we could all just treat others how we want to be treated, we would have heaven on earth.
