Thanksgivin' in Savannah, Georgia

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I woke up on the morning of Thanksgivin' and found myself in the middle of the street.

Then I found myself speeding through Florida in a rental car.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Then I saw a sign that lead to Savannah so I headed towards that direction.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It was time for a pit stop so I pulled over to the closest airport I could find because I'm too good for rest areas and truck stops.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It just so happened my parents were there because they decided to spend the Thanksgivin' weekend in Savannah.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
So we decided to all hang out together and piled into the rental car.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H starts to unpack her crap.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I'm waiting patiently for the crap unpacking to end.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We decided to walk around the streets of Savannah all dressed up and on the search for some food...Thanksgivin' style.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We encountered a pretty steep stairway and Mrs. H was very careful.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mission accomplished!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Me and Mrs. H hangin' out on the riverside.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Christmas boats rule.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Don't ask me why they just do.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
MORE STAIRS!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The next morning we headed over to Tybee Island to see if there was anything to make fun of.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We found a huge pavilion...I guess that was something we could make fun of.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
But first we had to take a nice picture on the beach.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Then Mrs. H spotted something off in the distance within the pavilion.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This huge fake 2-dimensional ice cream cone was meltin' fast!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
She was catching those drips for a while.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
About an hour later Mrs. H decided to finish it off since no one else would.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H and I are trying our best to not look like tourists.....





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....but Mrs. H couldn't keep it in for long.....





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....and started to do Hammer Time!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Then she attempted to steer the pavilion out to sea, but surprisingly did not have any luck.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
A bird was stealing cheetos and I totally caught it red-handed.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H scared away all the lil' thieves.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The view was nice but Mrs. H thought it was a little brisk.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
As did I.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's a somewhat nice picture.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Danger is nearby so Mr. and Mrs. H are off to save the world!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After saving the world we decided to see what was going on in Christy's Department Store.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H loves to try on many hats and catch lice.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Tybee gets a decent review.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....Ma'am.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H decided to join in on the fun.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was happy.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I would have been happy too if I wasn't worried about that dang crab gettin' all in my face!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was going to catch the crab but her plan backfired.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Then we all headed over to Tybee Island Light Station to see if it was cool.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
But first Mrs. H had to try on a flower.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The flower was too pretty so she chomped on it to remind all of the gorgeous plants who's the boss.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I stood back and watched because I have my fair share of teeth marks.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time to go up this thing!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H had to waste valuable climbing time signing the guest book.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Now it's time to go up this thing!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
She had to look out every single window to confirm that we are indeed going up.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H just stood and watched the nonsense.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And Mrs. H continued to act like a crazy lady.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Still going up.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was able to get Mr. H to act crazy.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We're almost there.....






Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
.....we made it so Mrs. H began to act like Rocky!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H didn't realize how high it was actually going to be up there.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
She was just hoping there weren't any hurricanes anywhere nearby to blow her off.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Her favorite spot was right next to the door.






Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Me and a nervous Mrs. H way up high.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H and I are much more calm.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
"D'at bulb in d'er lite house must be ginormous."





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
View from da house!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
View of da houses!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H still isn't too sure about climbing up the lighthouse.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H pushed her towards the edge to show Mrs. H a better view.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
While I was walking around Mrs. H scared me as she was peaking through a window.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Apparently she had enough of the balcony view and her annoying first born son.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time to go down this thing!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H deserved her certificate after all that hard work.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We totally went up and down this thing!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H is still showin' off the documentation.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Now it's time to blow this popsicle stand.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And we went across the street to a fort called Battery Garland.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
They had many different action figures inside.....





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Here we have a friar forcing an Indian to worship his God or else he will take away that sacred feather.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And here is a pirate forcing his first mate to worship his God or else he'll shoot him in his own grave.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And here is a British man forcing an Indian man to worship his God or else he will take his Indian daughter as a slave.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
O' happy day!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H is trying not to be so white.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H was quick to point out a black bell.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H didn't care too much and just wanted to find the way out.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We saw the light and headed towards it.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The light was quite bright.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It was so bright Mrs. H wandered right into a booby trap and didn't even know it.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
As Will Smith would say in the #1 summer blockbuster hit of 1996 Independence Day, "WHOOO, LOW BRIDGE!!!"





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was trying to find the light house we just went up in.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time for another decent picture.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We're goin' back in da fort!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I do a killer impression of a creepy doll.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's not nearly as good as Mrs. H's though.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This part of the fort was kind of weird and a little too girly so we left fairly soon.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I found a toy tank to squeeze in to so that was pretty sweet.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And then I sat on this deformed plastic dog afterwards.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I wasn't too sure if this room was more strange or if it was the room with the dolls.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I tried to be cool like Mrs. H and tried to drive the fort like she was driving the pavilion.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This is kinda creepy...I'm talking about the sailor of course.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We all had enough of this fort so it was time to trash this place and then leave once and for all!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
There was a nice view of the fake beach waiting right outside for us.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I love fake beaches.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Me and Mrs. H decided to walk around the Historic District in Savannah again.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H loves to show off Christmas trees that she had no part in decorating.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H also loves to play it cool in any town with an Historic District.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
MUST...BUY.....OVERPRICED CUPCAKES!!!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H couldn't get enough of those creepy lookin' trees.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It wasn't real so Mrs. H doesn't have rabies.....at least for now.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The moss on these trees are quite peculiar.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I try my best to act cool in front of any brick wall I can find.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H looks cool no matter where she's at or what she's in front of.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Savannah is a festive place this time of year!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's also a good place to make out with midget bears that cook fried Southern food.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time to get another picture with the tree that Mrs. H had no part in decorating.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Seriously, they don't even need to try and they can still be hilarious.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time to see a Christmas show!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
But first Mrs. H must act like a creepy Santa doll for fifteen minutes.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And now it's time for the Christmas show.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
There's all kinds of singin', gigglin', dancin', prancin' and back flippin' at this thing.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Even Rudolph eventually showed up for this high class production!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After an hour of this Christmas craziness here's the review so far at intermission.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Apparently it just wouldn't be a Christmas show without four Elvis impersonators on the stage.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After two hours of this spectacle show of Christmas who-ha it was over and done with.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was very pleased with the production as she always is with any theatrical show.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
One day Mrs. H will have the honor of suiting up as Frosty as long as she works hard and never gives up.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
On the walk back to the hotel Mrs. H became a little loopy from the sugar in those cupcakes.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time to call it a night.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's the next morning and Mrs. H does her best impression of the famous Bird Girl statue in Savannah.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
A huge barge heads it way into the fourth busiest port in America.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Call me a wuss if you must, but after being used to a temperate climate for two years it was a little chilly.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H does her impression of a tug boat even though Mr. H kept saying that was a ferry.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After the tug boat impression Mrs. H decided to keep practicing her Bird Girl statue.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We ended up running into the Waving Girl statue so Mrs. H started doing her best impression of that instead.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was also quick to point out that this girl has some serious clog hoppers.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time for the Waving Girl to say goodbye to us once and for all.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And Mrs. H had to work on some new material so she started out with a Gilligan's Island impression.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We were sick of the Historic District after a while so we drove back out to Tybee Island to eat at The Crab Shack.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was welcoming customers into the shack.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This petrified gator wasn't very impressive.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Although this purple mask on the other hand was quite impressive.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was also impressed with this lil' guy and wanted to take it home.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mr. H was not impressed with that crap at all, but was drawn towards some real live alligators instead.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Aren't they impressive?





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H wasn't too sure if "impressive" was the right word to use.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
It's time for yet another decent family picture on the bridge with all of the little hungry gators underneath our toes.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Goin' into da shack.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I was quite impressed and honestly in awe of the size of The Crab Shack.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H didn't really care anymore and was just a little chilly.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
She warmed right up by staying behind this wall though.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This petrified alligator looked a little lonely so I gave it some good ol' Brian Hogan lovin'.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H dances to the show!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Thus concludes our adventure at The Crab Shack.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We're back in Savannah and surrounded by the creepy trees!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I am clearly ecstatic.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We found a rehearsal going on for a Christmas tree lighting ceremony that was happening later at night.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Mrs. H was clearly ecstatic.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And as you can see it was quite an exciting rehearsal going on.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We decided to walk the streets of Savannah one last time.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Don't mess with Mr. H! YOU STEPIN'?!?!?!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
WE OWN THESE STREETS!!!





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After owning the streets of Savannah we felt that we actually achieved something during the Thanksgivin' weekend, and so now was the time to drive back to the airport where our adventure together first began.





Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Me and my parents (a.k.a. Mr. and Mrs. H) headed off towards our separate ways knowing that we have successfully conquered yet another city. Watch out though...YOUR TOWN COULD BE NEXT!!!





THE END
