Day 3 - Savannah

The day began early with a drive from Jacksonville to Savannah, where the boys met their tour guide, Ted. An exceptionally knowledgable guide, Ted led the boys on a scavenger hunt around Historical Savannah, the boys searching for clues to answer questions. In spite of the constant drizzle, the boys had fun and learned about Savannah's history. A member of the choir at Christ Church, Ted was able to give the boys an inside tour of the historical church where John Wesley served.

The rain cleared and the boys traveled to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum where they performed a few songs in the rotunda for the staff. A volunteer whose father served as a surgeon during WWII lead the boys on a captivating tour of the museum. They learned about the bravery and heroism of those who serve.

Following the visit to the museum, the boys has dinner at The Lady and Sons restaurant owned by Paula Deen. Can you say butter! Ho cakes, cheese biscuits, fried chicken, ribs, pork, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, Mac an cheese, collard greens, baked beans, green beans and more!! Not to mention banana pudding, peach cobbler and chocolate chip gooey butter cake for dessert! Yuuuum!

A short trip to Charleston and a good night sleep before a busy day with two performances for the Spoleto Festival tomorrow.
