Vacation Day 5

Today was a magnificent day! For starters, we slept in which was a good thing! Our first outing took us to the Wormsloe State Historic Site. Wormsloe was the colonial estate of Noble Jones, one of Georgia's first settlers. More than 400 live oaks were planted in the early 1890s along the mile-and-a-half driveway providing for a breathtaking entrance. We learned a lot about the history of the beginnings of Savannah and were able to walk around the grounds-lots of park-like trails throughout.After a bite to eat, we headed to Tybee Island. Tybee is known as "Savannah's Beach" though it is 20 minutes from Savannah. We absolutely loved our afternoon here. It was a great way to end the week-relaxed in the sun and enjoying the sounds of the ocean!Upon returning from the beach, we got cleaned up and headed to dinner. We ate at a great Italian restaurant near the market area of Savannah and ended up at a coffee shop before heading back to the hotel. We both agreed that today was a great way to end our vacation. We'll be heading home tomorrow! We wish all of our family and friends a wonderful Easter weekend. We are so thankful for the gift of the cross!
