A Day in Savannah

Yesterday we took a trip to Savannah for a cheerleading competition, the Savannah Diamond Championships. We only made it a day trip, and spent most of the day at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center, but did get out in town for a few hours.

At the Convention Center, I don't recommend the bathrooms that are on the floor on the convention hall. The Men's Room was always dirty and out of soap, though my wife said that the Women's had an attendant always cleaning. The Center itself is quite nice.

Right outside the Center, between it and the Westin Hotel, is the Trade Center landing for the Savannah Belles Ferry. The ferry is a free passenger ferry with stops at the River Street by City Hall, the Savannah Marriott Hotel, and the Trade Center.

The girls loved riding the ferry, though the weather yesterday was quite chilly. We rode it from the Trade Center to River Street and back.

Views on the river

While on River Street, we stopped for lunch at Spanky's.



Spanky's is known for their pizza, so I went with the pizza burger. It was good, of course not as good as Angelo's. The service was less than desirable, our waiter was quite slow at just about everything, and they ran out of Fat Tire on tap. My wife loved her burger, and the girls enjoyed watching the container ships move up the river while eating lunch.

A stop at Savannah's Candy Kitchen and we were done with our excursion into Savannah. Back to the Trade Center for more cheer.
