Savannah Day 4...

Our last day in Savannah and B finally got her wish to go swimming. The water was very cold.
Whoa!!! That whale has Mel's legs!!

Oh what a relief...it's just Mel!


Tom, Aunt Carole, and Colleen...



Look Miss Jenna...B remembers how to doggie paddle!:)

























We had lunch at "One-eyed Lizzie's" downtown...


















Tom's only request during the trip was to get oysters....










Here he demonstrates the proper oyster-eating technique...











I opted for the fried oyster salad. I prefer my food cooked!












After lunch we visited the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. The Cathedral was built in 1873, but a fire destroyed it in 1898. The Cathedral was rebuilt 1912.















































































Mel walking into the Cathedral...


















It was GORGEOUS! Next time I am in Savannah...if that ever happens...I would love to go to mass at this church!








































The girls were right at home...or I mean church...Mel immediately opened a book like always during church.





























































































The baptismal font weighs 8,000 lbs. It is marble and was carved in Carrara, Italy and shipped to the port of Savannah...




















































Stations of the Cross...
























































Holy Oils Ambry...




























































The pipe organ was built in Georgetown, Massachusetts. It was installed in 1987. It has 34 ranks and 2,308 pipes...
































































After the Cathedral we went to one of the nearby "squares"...

































The girls made one last wish before heading to the airport...
