Coastal Trip Day 3

So Sunday was our first full day of our trip that we weren't traveling. We slept in a bit.  We knew the first thing we wanted to do was catch a Trolley Ride. We first had breakfast in the van. We had packed a lot of snacks and breakfast bars to get us through the many days away. I wasn't crazy about eating 3 meals out a day for 10 days. So we had our little breakfast bars and then we ran in McDonald's for some coffee. We then made our way back to the hotel so we could purchase trolley tickets. It worked out amazingly well b/c by the time we purchased our tickets within 5 minutes the trolley was pulling up. We picked up a few more passengers from various hotels then it brought us to the Visitor Center to catch another Trolley. This one would take us on an hour and a half ride through the city. It was nice to just sit back and enjoy the sights. I will say it was a tad long though...Lindsay was definitely over it by the time we got off. I thoroughly enjoyed it though and I think Colby and Austin did too. The last stop was by the River so we hopped off and walked to a restaurant we had heard about that we wanted to go to for lunch. We put our name in and they told us it would be about an hour wait. Well we walked a block down to a hotel so we could potty. By the time we walked out of there and we were nearing the restaurant they texted and said our table was ready. The restaurant was called Treylor Park. We were hoping for a wonderful meal after the disappointment from the night before. It turned out it was great. We all 4 enjoyed what we had. It was fun just enjoying a lunch like that the 4 of us. After lunch we decided we wanted to see some more sights so we called the Trolley shuttle to come get us and take us to the park where Forest Gump was filmed. We got there and we walked around that area for about an hour. It was interesting just being in the midst of where such a big movie was filmed. Austin then said there was a Cemetery a few blocks away so we headed there. Had it not been so hot by that point...I wore jeans b/c we woke up to what we thought would be a rainy forecast and I hate wearing shorts and being cold in the rain. Anyway it was super hot and the kids were kinda over it...especially Lindsay. So we just made a quick pass through then headed back to the hotel. It took us about 30 min of walking back. It was nice though to just enjoy the scenery while we walked. We got back to our room and cooled off a bit then we wanted to get out and drive around a bit. We had heard about this place called the Moon Light District. So we decided to check it out. We went to this old plantation sight and toured the grounds. It was really interesting because the history there dates back to the late 1600s. We spent about an hour just walking around. It nice and shady with a breeze. I just enjoyed taking in the sight. We saw the oldest standing structure in Georgia as well as a typical colonial house. Once we finished there we hopped in the car....stopped for some cokes as an afternoon pick me up then headed to a place called Black Rifle Coffee to buy some souvenirs. We spent a little bit walking around there and stocked up on coffee for everyone. We then went back to our hotel so we could figure out dinner. We finally decided on Mexican. We found this little mexican place called jalepenos and it was so good. It reminded us of our favorite mexican place here. We enjoyed our meal. We had heard about this famous ice-cream place there so we knew we needed to try that as well. I was worried the line would be long but it really wasn't at all. We only had to wait about 10 min to get in. It was the BEST icecream. I was so glad we checked it out. So after that it was beginning to rain so we set off back to our hotel. It was a busy day...we saw a lot and walked over 6 miles. The most we would do the entire trip but it was a lot of fun!
