John and I decided to take a road trip with Alx & Gabby to spend Christmas and New Years in Florida. Along the way, we decided to stop and spend a few days in pretty Savannah.

We decided to do a Haunted House Tour which was informative and fun they picked us up from the hotel in a hearse which added to the spookiness of it at nighttime.

Today we toured the city on a horse-drawn carriage which was also very informative and pleasant. Since we were leaving in the morning, we decided to take it easy and have dinner close to the hotel.
Today we drove to Des Moines, Iowa and along our drive, we happened to see a few horse-drawn carriages still being used which were cool. When we arrived at our hotel while checking in, the receptionist told us that they had happy hour every day between 4 pm and 6 pm, so we decided to have a drink on the house before walking to Splash Seafood Bar & Grill for our seafood dinner. After a fabulous meal, we walked back to our hotel. I have to say the walk was pleasant the town has pretty buildings and everything is lit up nicely.
The next day we decided to visit the State Capitol, and when we got there, we were able to walk around ourselves which was great.
