Savannah

"Savannah is truly unique. It has the party atmosphere of New Orleans, the historic value of Boston, and the charm of the Old South."- J. Bennett
I know it has been a while since I have written, but I plan to make up for it. I have some exciting adventures coming up.  Over Memorial Day weekend, I went on a spontaneous weekend jaunt to the incredible Southern Gem, Savannah, Georgia. My mother flew out from SFO and met me in D.C. and we continued on to 'The Most Haunted City in America'.

Wormsloe Historical Site

Forsynth Fountain 
Savannah was amazing. It is beautiful, full of great food (like really great food), and the weather was perfect.  You can feel the history all around you. The city's aesthetic is incredible. Everyone you meet can tell you a story about Savannah (most involve ghosts or alcohol).

We wandered down the Spanish Moss covered streets and darted in and out of antique stores and art galleries. I'm 99% sure some of the antique stores we checked out were chalk full of spirits and ghost, but that made it even more fun. 


My mom came across a massive outdoor instrument in Forsynth Park which she played with so much skill.

This was the first time in months that I used my DLSR. I'm so glad I broke out my camera to capture everything that was Savannah.  


I have got to say, The Olde Pink House in Savannah was one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything was perfect and I think I could have continued eating another 6 courses. I also highly recommend eating at Alligator Soul. I tried oysters for the first time on this trip, and I am now completely obsessed with all oysters. 


I am a completely strange person that finds cemeteries to be completely stunning. I made my mother walk to Bonaventure cemetery in Savannah and it was astounding. The moss coupled with the gorgeous monuments and the unreal lighting made the afternoon spectacular.


We spent our last day wandering around the Wormsloe Historical Site. The mile long oak lined driveway is honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. If you're ever in Savannah, I would recommend a visit.

I do love getting dressed up for drinks and incredible food. Having an amazing riverfront view, cold prosecco, and delightful appetizers was the perfect way to spend our last night.



Cheers xx
