Cute Fun

During a visit to the zoo last week, there was lot of activity. I don't normally film but could not help it this time! The videos are a cut off somewhat (not sure why).

Here the little guy was annoying his big daddy. Dad was just not having it anymore, hence the swipe. The little one kept going back for more which made it amusing and less like abuse as it would appear in humans.

We don't normally get to be so close to Bill. We were able to observe his chow time.

The siamings are hysterical when they are hootin' and hollerin' (what they are known for). This one requires sound!


Sloth movement is a rare sight to see since these guys usually just sleep. This one just finished breakfast. He moved ever so slowly!

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

A Hotel Lobby

I am still catching up on blogging photos before spring arrives and we start living again. This collection of photos is from a JW Marriott in the new/old section of the Savannah, Georgia waterfront. 

This amazing space is like a museum of natural history.

It is filled with dinosaur and under the sea fossils, gigantic gems and more.

I know you are amused by the shape of this massive one below.

We stumbled upon this lobby when walking through a connected art gallery.

It took us a while to realize it was a hotel lobby. 

Kids would love wandering and wondering in this space. Those windows are hotel rooms in the lobby. I would imagine the noise can be crazy here with all the activity going on.

Kiosks are here too, marketing beautiful goods. That is the butt of a T-Rex suspended from the ceiling below.



I would recommend checking out Plant Riverside (as this newer section of river front is named) for anyone visiting Savannah. It is an amazing feast for the eyes! Below is part of the hotel lobby check in. Gorgeous.

Since this is a historic building, once a power plant, aspects have been preserved and highlighted.

These guys are in a cafe just off the lobby.

I am really looking forward to going back since the renovation of old buildings along the waterfront was still a work in progress when we were there. This hotel spans 3 buildings, the third due to open this year.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
