We stopped by the gift shop at the Graveface Museum on Factors Walk in downtown Savannah and had a great time looking at all the eclectic stuff on display! I even found a copy of The Bounty Hunter by legendary North Carolina singer-songwriter Mike Cross in the bargain bin for just $2, along with Grady Stiles and Johnny Eck sideshow pins! We will definitely tour the museum on our next visit when we have more time. Don’t miss it!

Colonial Park Cemetery
Established in 1750, Colonial Park Cemetery lies in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District. It’s a great place to wander around and soak up some American history. The most famous burial here is Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Original Pinkie Masters
A legendary Savannah dive bar first opened in 1953, Pinkie Masters features cheap beer such as ice-cold cans of PBR, eclectic decor, a classic jukebox blaring 1980’s rock ‘n’ roll and a colorful revolving crew of local characters. Jimmy Carter was here! It’s not hard to find – just look for the Pabst Blue Ribbon sign.
Wormsloe
If you need a quick break from the hustle and bustle of River Street in Savannah, I suggest you take a short drive out to Wormsloe State Historic Site, home to the ruins of a 1726 colonial estate. Highlights include picturesque Live Oak Avenue, Wormsloe tabby ruins, gravesite, observation deck, colonial life area and hiking trails. Don’t miss it!
Abe’s on Lincoln
A funky little dive bar, Abe’s on Lincoln was one of the highlights of our weekend excursion to Savannah. Known for its cocktail napkin art of Abraham Lincoln that lines the walls and ceiling (along with very strong drinks), Abe’s on Lincoln is a must-visit destination to add to your Savannah itinerary!
Bonaventure Cemetey
The Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah has earned a reputation as one of the most beautiful (and haunted!) cemeteries in the world. We got the opportunity to wander around the cemetery yesterday and found it totally fascinating! So many great and unusual sculptures are here. Definitely worth a look whenever you’re passing through. Highly recommended!
The Ultimate Prize
“Not too many years ago, it was access to information and movement that seemed our greatest luxury; nowadays it’s often freedom from information, the chance to sit still, that feels like the ultimate prize.” -Pico Iyer
All Over America
“All over America today people would be dragging themselves to work, stuck in traffic jams, wreathed in exhaust smoke. I was going for a walk in the woods.” – Bill Bryson
Hiking Near Econ River
We had a nice hike at Econ River Wilderness Area this morning. A lot of the river is still overflowing onto parts of the trail, but we got as close as possible.
Ramble Out Yonder
“Ramble out yonder and explore the forests … sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious and awesome space.” – Edward Abbey
