Our Savannah trip was one to remember! We did lots of touring and eating and really enjoyed our weekend getaway. We could not wait to see McKinley when we returned, but loved the time we had together in such a great city! I think I must have taken 100 pictures of the many historical places we visited. We can't wait to go back! If you go, you must do a ghost tour, eat at Lady and Sons, take the trolley for touring, plan your nice dinners with reservations, get a hotel on the river or close by, party at City Market, and shop downtown.
The Martha and George cannons given as gifts to Savannah from Wahington's visit, Jackson wanted to show off his guns too.
Paula Deen's dining southern food, this line is just for the waiting list to get in that day which starts at 9:00! We walked up and got in right away for a tabletop in the bar!
The Olde Pink house is a great restaurant that is haunted, and one of the original houses in Savannah that was spared in the big fire.
Chippewa Square was where Forrest Gump was filmed. Tom Hanks sat on a bench at this spot in the movie.
City Walk was a popular spot for dining and nightlife.
Forsyth Park Fountain
Carriage rides are popular in Savannah.
SS Savannah statue tribute for the arrival of the settlers
On our ghost tour, we visit a haunted house built on a gravesight, haunted by a doctor that committed suicide due to his kids dying of yellow fever and his wife being buried alived in a coma. Many patients died here as well from yellow fever and the steps had a strong spirit feeling and voices of coughing in the window. Needless to say, the house is abandoned now.
Six Pense is where Julia Roberts entered the restaurant in her robe to find her cheating husband in "Something to talk about."
Olgethorpe is the designer of the city and squares from England
I just had to take a pic of the haunted CVS. The turnover rate is very high because of sightings of ghosts.
This is a pic of the cemetary in the middle of the city. The bodies in the crypts were buried vertical to fit many people in. 10,000 bodies are buried in the ground here.
Here we are at an underground bar enjoying our drinks!
The trolley ride was a great idea because we learned so much about the history of the city.
The waving girl is a famous story about a young girl that waved for 44 years to her sailor that never returned home.
Here we are waiting to see Paula Deen at her restaurant-with my sweet tea.
This is a replica of the Forrest Gump bench!
Forsyth Park held an Art festival while we were there.
Here I am eating Georgia Peach Gelatto!
