Today's post is about our little Spring trip to Savannah a few years back.
What can I say about Savannah other than it's fabulous!
Truly, from Texas up the East coast, my trusty little camera was blazing hot! I've got pictures to boot! Promise, won't post all!
I just love Savannah! I could live there, I really do think I could.
Can you believe that more than 50 million people have been to visit Savannah in the last 10 years?
It's no wonder! Oh my heavens, Incredible architecture and oh my, colorful flowers everywhere and gorgeous old fountains! Walking around and riding the Trolley, in Spring time was just perfect. We took in all the sights and yes, we saw the square where Forrest Gump talked to people while waiting for the bus. Remember that part of the movie? Loved that movie! I could not wait to see where that part of the movie was shot and to see that special bench, sadly, is no longer located at the square! It was not there! Who knew? We did not! Oh well, you now have to go to the Savannah History Museum to see it.
Did I mention fabulous restaurants???
Our road trips would not be complete without dining out each evening...that's what we do. Savannah does have the best restaurants and we did see Paula Deen's restaurant while on the Trolley ride. While on the Trolley, ahem....there are some people that do stand up in front of you to take pictures...hence, this one below is not one of my pictures of the restaurant. The line in front of her restaurant was a block long. So we did not get off the Trolley and eat there.
Our stay in Savannah was not at one of the old historical hotels, we decided to stay at one of the new chic hotels called the Andaz Hotel in the Historic District. It was delightful, had a totally relaxed urban vibe, total sophistication!
All true, what a stay!
Andaz Hotel - walking distance to everywhere!

I just loved this old wagon filled with flowers!
Hanging plants everywhere!
Awesome buildings...
Beautiful parks.
Right on the water~
Loved this yellow home!
Open Air Market was wonderful! So many shops.
So colorful!
The spring rain, it arrived!
Such a pretty City Hall!
Savannah, it was just so quaint and oh so, charming!
We had a great trip~
I hope we will go back some day~
(maybe even see that bench!)
really beautiful - dressed up with blooms, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always thought that was one of the most interesting cities I have ever visited. It is a gorgeous place, isn't it? You got some really great pictures, too. Yummm-Lady & Sons restaurant I am so glad you had a good time It's an amazing place to visit!
ReplyDeleteSavannah looks like a pretty place to visit.. The hotel does look nice.. Standing in line for Paula's restaurant, it must be popular.. Thanks for sharing, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of what looks to be a wonderful place! I have never been there but have always heard how wonderful it is!
ReplyDeleteYes I love Savannah too! I just lived about 1/2 hour from Savannah when I lived in Beaufort, SC. We have a lot of favorite restaurants there too! Did you ever visit the Back in the Day Bakery? It is one of my favorites. Nice photos that you shared too!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I loved all your photos. I would love to visit Savannah one day. Speaking of Gump and benches. We went to Santa Monica pier , there's Bubba Gump;s shrimp restaurant there. There's a bench on the pier with a pair of those running shoes for you to slip your feet into. It's more like a little metal toes of the shoes. So funny. I love Tom Hanks. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteFun! Thanks for the mini get away. I've been to Savannah twice. It's a lovely place to visit!
ReplyDeleteI love Savannah. I live in WIlmington, North Carolina for eight years which has a similar downtown area. Great photos. xo Laura

Oh it does look like a most beautiful city! I'm sure that it would be preferable to any in this corner today. You've made me curious about that bench. Was it there before the movie?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking around seeing the beautiful plants and your beautiful Easter with your beautiful family. (I had your son-in-law as your son, though. He sure looks a lot like you! )
I do love Savannah and you have captured it very well. They are ever so proud of their wrought iron and little squares. Very nice post.
ReplyDeleteThere really is so much to see...you couldn't see it all unless you did live there! What a beautiful place and wonderful architecture. You took such good photos! Glad you had a nice time! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful city! I have never visited Savannah, but hope to someday.
