Savannah may be my favorite of cities that I've visited so far - at least in the U.S.
Josh and I visited Savannah after our cruise in 2012. Our friend Heather was studying at SCAD, so we decided to stop in for a visit on our way home. We technically stayed in Bluffton, South Carolina, which is where she was living, but spent our two days touring Savannah.
The first day was rainy but it worked out because I left my ID in my car in SC so I wouldn't have been able to enjoy any of the bars. We went to a place on River Street for lunch and then headed back to Bluffton. We ate dinner at a local restaurant (I really need to start writing down restaurant names!) in Bluffton and called it an early night. Oh, and we also went to the Piggly Wiggly which Josh was way too excited about. Warning: this is a major photo dump!

The next day we began by eating breakfast at the IHOP in Bluffton. Let me tell you, Bluffton must have some strict building codes because EVERYTHING looked really nice. After breakfast we headed into Savannah with no real agenda. The only thing I really wanted to see was the Juliet Gordon Low House because I was a Girl Scout for 10 years. We also wanted to see Forsyth Park and River Street. We had some amazing Ice Cream at Leopolds and just enjoyed walking around this beautiful city.
After spending the day in Savannah, we headed to Cameron, South Carolina for Heathers sisters birthday party. She usually lives in MD with their Mom but spends a chunk of the summer in SC with their Dad. After the birthday party we actually headed back to Savannah to wander around River Street, I decided to leave my camera at home. We started out at Moon River Brewery and then just wandered. We ended up finding a good bar and hung out there for a while. When we left, we totally forgot where we parked and wandered around Savannah for a good 45 minutes before we found it!
I absolutely adored Savannah and would highly recommend a visit to anyone who has been thinking about it. It's such a charming city and so laid back! I love it!
How gorgeous is Savannah? I would love to visit. I was also a Girl Scout for 12 years and have always wanted to see the founder's house!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Savannah! I went on a road trip with my boyfriend in December from Tampa to Savannah, then on to Charleston, & then St. Augustine & Orlando, and finally back to Tampa. We weren't in Savannah for very long, so I really want to go back again and explore some more - preferably when it's warmer!! ;) We definitely still stopped at Leopold's for some ice cream though. Isn't it so good? So glad to have found your blog through the Travel Tuesday linkup! xx
ReplyDeleteI am DYING to go to Savannah and South Carolina. It has been on my list of places to visit in the States for a long time, especially since I am such a huge fan of Southern food.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and thanks for taking the time to read mine!
