"Rewind" in Savannah

One of the best things about the market was the FOOD!!!  They had an awesome candy store which had 3 rooms - their specialty was pralines and every time you walked in, they would give you a warm sample right from the oven.  YUMMY!!!  I bet the grand kids would have loved this room!!

 Since the praline just whetted our appetite, we went to the ice cream shop.  I chose peach and of course it was delicious!!

 This is one of the 22 squares - squares consist of a city block that is covered in trees, benches to sit on, grass and usually a monument.  I think by the end of our stay we had been to 20 of them!

 We headed to the Savannah Theater  for our entertainment Sunday afternoon and look who was standing outside - Forrest Gump!!  He sounded just like the real thing and of course was carrying his box of chocolates!  We were all very excited to see the "bench" where he sits at the bus stop during the movie but found out the actual bench was a prop - it was filmed in one of the squares and we did see the spot but that was all.  I have a video of Forrest running but can't seem to get it downloaded from my phone to my computer but it is cute!!

 Check out the front of this car that we're sitting on!!

 "Rewind" was awesome - it was a group of singers that sang songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!!  We relived song after song and it was so fun to hear the old songs.  The different sets were very unique and one of our favorites was a campfire scene, just singing around the fire! 

After Rewind we went around the corner to Gallery Espresso and sat outside enjoying a fruit and cheese tray!

After our dinner, we sauntered back to our cottage for a relaxing evening - we enjoyed our own drinks along with our pecans and more cheese and crackers.  And we laughed a lot - a whole lot!!  What an awesome day with great plans for the next day!!  To Be Cont'd...............
