While on our "vacation" in NC, my whole family decided to take a vacation to Savannah GA for a week to attend one of my childhood friend's wedding. Young and I decided to go down a day before everyone else so that we could have some "alone time" without the kids. My parents, my brother and his family were coming down the next day, bringing the twins...or so that was the plan...but because of my daddy's truck issues, it ended up being three more days before Mom and Dad would make it down with the kids!! Young and I ended up having four days to ourselves in one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to...what a blessing!!Our georgous hotel, Mansion on Forsyth Park, was an old mansion that had been redone into a hotel. We were right across the street from Forysyth Park and the beautiful fountain.
We tried to take full advantage of no kiddies and not schedules to eat out at some nice restaurants that weren't necessarily kid friendly...jazz and tapas one night, fine dining southern food another, crab by the ocean in the afternoon and steaks and chops in the heart of downtown...we ate our way through old Savannah!
We were able to do some sightseeing and shopping as well...but it was soooo hot, 100+ some days, we just ended up back at our hotel in the pool or taking naps till dinner time...just enjoying downtime. (can you tell we needed a break from the monkeys)
Here is one of hundreds of statues/monuments around the city giving someone or some group of people honor. And we took a little day trip out to Tybee Island to check out the civil war forts and lighthouse.
But as much fun as we had alone, we were anxious to see the kids and experience Savannah through their eyes...so stay tuned...
