These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Savannah, GA

Hello all,


We have recently returned from the true South in Savannah, Georgia. This is a place that has been on our list for a while now, and we were so excited to explore it! Here are a few of our favorite things while we were there:

1) Forsyth Park
We stayed three blocks west of the park and went there every day that we were in Savannah. It is beautiful, often has someone playing live music. There is a nice park for kids and lots of cute dogs everywhere. If you go in the spring or summer: BRING MOSQUITO SPRAY! They ate my legs alive while we took pictures in the covered tree areas.The fountain is a great spot for pictures also!

2) Betty Bombers
A little spot that you just might miss if you aren't paying attention. It has DELICIOUS burgers and adorable decor. The waitresses dress like Rosie the Riveter. It is not fancy but it is a cute place to go that is not super expensive unlike many places in the city.

3) Olde Pink House
FREAKING DELICIOUS!! And also the oldest mansion in Savannah. If you are in Savannah and are willing to spend a little extra for a sit down meal, this is some of the best food I have ever eaten. I highly recommend the fried chicken and mac and cheese! But even just their biscuits and cornmeal muffins are soooo good. You walk a lot in Savannah so you will burn off some of this meal just getting around ;)

4) The Squares and River Street
One of the coolest parts about Savannah would be all of the squares. There are lots of cute shops in each area surrounding the squares. River street reminds me a lot of Wilmington, NC and also has a lot of touristy shops but other cute and unique shops as well. Everywhere just feels so old timey in Savannah, it almost transports you back to another time. Until you see another drunk bachelorette party screaming profanities down the beautiful brick roads.

5) Wormsloe Plantation
To be honest the best part of this place is the entrance. Well known from a movie I love The Last Song with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth in their early stages of love! The oak tree entrance is BEAUTIFUL and a great spot for pictures.

I thought Savannah was beautiful, full of Southern charm and history. Madi thought it was cool, but wouldn't necessarily choose to go back if he had to pick a place. We are continuing to add places that we want to go to our list.  The fall is upon us and I can't wait for all the fun that comes with it in North Carolina which includes BASKETBALL SEASON STARTING IN OCTOBER! Ahh!! Can't wait! Have you been to Savannah? What did you like the most?

Thanks for reading and GO DEVILS!
