Our 2nd day in Savannah was VERY low key. We just did a little walking and shopping on River Street and ate lunch and dinner out. That was it. But that is all I wanted it to be. Sometimes vacations can be so full of hustle and bustle that you don't get to really breathe at all.Doug and I awoke on Monday to a pretty morning, and Doug ran downstairs to the very convenient Starbucks located on the street under our room to bring back some drinks/breakfast...
We got dressed and headed down to do a little site seeing and shopping on River Street...
We stopped in two of my favorite Christmas stores...
We stopped in a little novelty gift shop...
Of course, we stopped at River Street Sweets Candy Store (best pralines ever!)...
We walked up and down the street for a while and then we headed over to Rhett Restaurant for lunch. We had eaten there last year for dinner and wanted to try their lunch menu. We had a wonderful experience last year and hoped for the same experience this year. Unfortunately, it wasn't so great.
The waitress was very inattentive. She took our order and then we basically didn't see her again. The restaurant was quite empty. Other servers delivered our food. She never followed up to see if we needed drinks - I had to ask another server to get some more drinks since she was no where to be found. She did come back out finally but worked on stocking the bar. Still never came over to check on us. I finally had to walk over to her to ask for our check. Our food was sadly just "meh" that afternoon. Good enough - but nothing super special. It was just disappointing...
I wrote an honest review on open table about our experience, and I actually did get a note back from the manager apologizing and asking us to come back so he could try to make it right. We had other plans for the rest of the week though, so we weren't able to return.
Once we were done with lunch, it was time to head back to the room to rest and cool off. It was starting to become really warm that afternoon - and it only got hotter in the afternoons as the week wore on.
The only time we walked through the Power Plant building during our visit was on that day...
We got back to our room and binged watched some TV and just chilled. It was nice.
Later that evening, we were starting to get a bit hungry again. We decided to go back to District Smokehouse (which we had visited last summer) and get some BBQ.
We sat down and watched the barges go by again...
Doug got brisket again and I got smoked pork. It was really yummy once again. Just a really laid back place to eat which is really nice. It was warm, but it was cooling down and there were big fans spinning above us making things quite comfortable.
After dinner, we walked a bit as the sun was setting...
A view of our hotel again. We were staying in the room with the smaller balcony at the very top...
Watching a barge float by...
