Day 3, Tuesday, was yet another laid back day for us in Savannah.
My request for the day was to spend a few hours at the hotel pool. It was a beautiful, breezy morning and the sun was out.
We were the first ones to arrive...
The only bummer was they did not serve lunch poolside on Mondays or Tuesdays (we found that out about an hour after we got there). That rule was not listed anywhere and must be something new that they came up with. We had gone to the pool on a Monday the year before and were served food poolside - so we went with that intention. We were told we could pickup food somewhere and bring it poolside, but the pool is located quite a distance from any restaurants. So, luckily we were there early to get a few good hours in before we would start to get hungry (and I did have some light snacks on me and they did sell drinks). It was still kind of frustrating though that we didn't know.
It was still a beautiful day and we swam and relaxed and it was really nice...
We eventually went back to our room and just ordered room service for lunch and freshened up.
The woman who cleaned our room that day left this cute "dog" on our bed...
I ordered a quesadilla for lunch...
It was quite tasty.
Again, afternoons got really toasty in Savannah, so we just laid low at the hotel until things started cooling down (a little).
I had made a dinner reservation (weeks before) for that evening for me and Doug at The Olde Pink House. It is a super popular restaurant. We had eaten there for lunch the year before and we knew we wanted to go back for dinner because the food was delicious.
And again, it was delicious.
We decided to Uber over to the restaurant because we were dressed up and the temps were still quite steamy outside.
The Olde Pink House...
We were escorted upstairs to eat. When we came for lunch the year before, the upstairs wasn't being seated but we were allowed to tour the house - so we were able to see the upstairs then.
They seat the entire house for dinner...
Doug was trying to figure out an appetizer and the waiter recommended this. He assured us it was the best thing ever. Dang he was right!
It was smoked shrimp and grits rolled in a coconut crusted nori. And the sauces were amazing. Seriously one of the best appetizers we have ever tried.
This woman/employee was walking around singing for tables for tips - she was really good...
We finished our meals with smiles on our faces and called another Uber to take us back to the hotel...
We saw this ghost tour hearse drive by as we waited. Heh.
And that was our day. Quiet and laid back.
The next day we had plans to visit a large, historic cemetery. More on that next...
