Savannah

Back in May, we decided to take advantage of a free weekend and a free hotel deal and scamper off to Savannah for a long weekend. It was absolutely delightful and definitely one of my favorite adventures of the year so far.

We stayed in historic downtown, which consists of century-old buildings that are riddled with intrigue and stories of love and war, and narrow streets shadowed by trees dripping in moss. The cobbled streets create a maze of square after square of delicious gardens, inviting you to take a moment and relish life, connect with others orsimply slow down.

There are stunning parks inviting you to play, exquisitely manicured landscaping surrounding delightful old mansions and all of this is within blocks of the water where rows of shops and restaurants offer treats such as fresh salt water taffy and drinks to go. Built to be a utopia, historic Savannah still offers quite the fairyland of beauty.

We strolled and jogged the streets accompanied by many others doing the same, riding their bikes or walking their dogs. And OH! the dogs! Jennie was quite beside herself with the excitement of "PUPPIES!" everywhere! 

After exploring Savannah to our hearts content, we took a day to go to Tybee Island and introduce Jennie to the ocean. Though a little breezy and cool at times - it was the. perfect. day. I will never forget the joy and delight of that introduction and the sweet memories the three of us forged together.

Savannah and Tybee Island were the perfect weekend adventure!
