Little eager sponge

Jaybird's favorite activity from our trip was the trolley tour. He loved to hear stories about the history of the city. After each story he would say, "Mom, did you hear that? This is the most haunted city in the country!" or "Wow, a lot of wars were fought here, cool!" And then after we left the trolley he requested to walk to several of the monuments for a closer look.
This kid is a sponge for facts. He loves to learn new things and remembers them well. I hope all that he learned about Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia, will find a safe place in that big, smart noggin of his! I thoroughly enjoyed learning and talking with him on this trip!

"I stood agog in Lafayette Square in Savannah, amid brick paths, trickling fountains and dark trees hung with Spanish moss. Before me rose up a cathedral of linen-fresh whiteness with twin Gothic spires, and around it stood 200-year-old houses of weathered brick, with hurricane shutters that clearly were still used. I did not know that such perfection existed in America."
