So we drove from Charleston to Savannah on Sunday morning. The drive was a little disappointing, but Savannah was not. We stayed at a great bed and breakfast, The Gastonian. I found it on Kiwi Collection, one of my favorite hotel websites. Sometimes they have better prices than what you can find on the hotel website and I've yet to be disappointed by one of their hotels.
Once we checked in, we drove down to the river to walk around. The shops on the river were all souvenir shops, but we ate at a nice restaurant over-looking the water.
The next morning, we decided to take a walk before we had our breakfast delivered to our room. We walked a few blocks to Forsyth Park which was so beautiful. It was a square surrounded by gorgeous southern houses with this beautiful fountain in the middle.
Around the park was this wide sidewalk with beautiful oak trees covered in moss.
Our flight didn't leave until Monday evening so we decided to take a trolley tour through the town. This was the perfect way to see Savannah when you only have an afternoon. We were able to get on and off when we wanted and learned all sorts of history.
Chef Paula Deen is from Savannah and they are so glad to claim her. We didn't eat at her restaurant, but here is a picture of it with a line out the door.
If ever in the area, Savannah is a place you must visit. Its southern charm coupled with its history makes it a perfect gem.
