savannah, georgia

I can't believe that I haven't had the chance to tell Y'ALL about Savannah.

This past August we spent a week on the coast of SC.

 Loved. it.

Since we were so close to Savannah, we decided to make a day trip

down to visit since neither of us had ever been.

So glad we did.

It was a kid free day.

We took our time roaming around the streets of Savannah

I was ooohing and aahhhhing over the cobblestone streets

and big trees that were draped with Spanish moss

everywhere you looked.

We stopped and took pictures (of each other)

here and there. We ate shrimp and drank salty margaritas.

I munched on pralines as we window shopped and watched

the huge barge ships pass by along the riverfront.

We even took a horse and buggie tour after

(the margarita made me a little tipsy)

AND

my feet started getting a little sore.

I had to stop and take a break.

My sandals were not really walking tour-friendly.

(But they matched my dress)

We stopped here for a pic or two

until I got attacked by mosquitoes.

Oh, sweet hot summer in the South.

You haven't changed a bit.

Heat, humidity and mosquitoes.

Typical August.

The horse and buggy tour was the perfect way

to rest my weary feet

to hear and see all the sweet (tragic) history of Savannah in one fell swoop.

I especially loved the old churches

and unexpected courtyards

that we happened upon along the way.

We even saw J.Lo leaving the American Idol auditions!!

Ask me if either of us got a pic.

Nope. Sorry.

(But she looks super golden and shimmery in real life too.)

It was a wonderful day of walking aimlessly, holding hands

with the one I love

in a sweet, southern city.

We loved you, Savannah

and can't wait to visit again.

Maybe for a long weekend next time.
