Downtown Savannah on Day 4

I always get hotels with breakfast included so after a hearty one, we went out to 'just walk' but first we drove around the historic district just to get a feel again of what's out there and then pick out which area we'd like to go to. We already decided to check out the Juliet Gordon Low house, the birthplace of the founder of the Girl Scouts. I took a picture of David and Missy on the steps leading to the house during our first time here and I wanted to do another one again just like doing a '5 years later shot...'.

The first time, we did the trolley tours, the house tours and the like. This time we just wanted to do everything on our own like visit some 'Squares.', have a photo op at the Sixpence Pub' where Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid shot a movie scene and just walk and walk around. Then we went to their 'City Market', a small area with more shops, art stores, restaurants and the like. I found a 'below the ground' area that would be nice for some quick family portraits so we did that.
A half day of just walking around was not really enough but since we were planning to spend the rest of the day at Tybee Island, we had to go but first we needed to go to Geneva's for lunch. Oh yes, we went back. Thought about Paula Deen's 'Lady and Sons' and 'Mrs. Wilkes' but based on the reviews, Geneva's was not to be missed. The comparison was more like 'where the locals go' instead of 'where the tourists had to go' kind of thing.

So we drove back to Geneva's. After ordering, mine was the 'baby fried bird' and Ophine got the 'oxtail something' and the kids some chicken nuggets and hamburger steaks plus a variety of 'sides', we were given the house appetizer', the best cornbread I've ever tasted, seriously. Together with the pear butter, it was the 'bomb'. Not that I'm willing to die for it (maybe to kill if somebody will give me the recipe), but the cornbread was just perfect. Cake-like texture, not too moist or dry and a little on the sweet side. David never liked cornbread but he did ate a lot and we had to ask for another freebie loaf. We just had too, the restaurant was just undermanned, we were so hungry and it took some time for our orders to arrive. I forgot to take some food shots before we devoured our food. Such was our hunger. Our food was excellent, not spectacular but we were happy. After that, I decided to find the same cornbread recipe, if not a copy of it. When I find it, it will be posted here.

I don't know what kind of flower this is but it is pretty.
