Savannah, Georgia Day 3--More Island Hopping

We began our fun at Old Fort Jackson, Georgia's oldest brick fortification. When we arrived, a Junior or Cadette troop was participating in a Girl Scout Militia Program.  We sat on the edge listening and learning.  The soldier (aka presenter) had a lot of great information to tie Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, and her family to the Civil War.  We also learned how to shoot a cannon along with the troop.

We drove over to Oatland Island and visited the Oatland Island Wildlife Center.  This involves a two mile walk, which is 98% shaded, to see birds, turtles, cougars, foxes, alligators, barn animals, deer, American Bison, wolves, and more.  It didn't even feel like 2 miles, and with all the shade, it didn't feel like near 100 degree weather either.

All of our walking and learning built up a mighty appetite, so we went to The Pirates' House for a late lunch. It has been welcoming visitors since 1753. The Southern Buffet was delicious, and we loved looking around at the historical building, learning the history, imaging what it was like back in the 1700s, and looking for ghosts.

After a nap and a swim, we went back to River Street to walk along the shops and river.  We had to check out Savannah's Candy Kitchen and get something sweet.
