Savannah, GA

This post is (as are many) long overdue.

We fell in love with Savannah within five minutes of walking around, all because of this:

And the city didn't disappoint.

The activities in Savannah looked very similar to Charleston - strolling, shopping, eating, drinking, and resting. The only difference was we could do it all with an open container in hand, which, by the sheer novelty of it all, really made Savannah the front runner of the trip.

The weather warmed up and because our hotel was in a prime location, we took Savannah by foot. None of us knew much about the city, but it wasn't hard to figure out after some leisurely strolls along the historic streets. There are over 20 squares placed strategically throughout the city center, with the largest being Forsyth Square. The city was in bloom, with spanish moss hanging lazily off the trees and the green green grass leaving us feeling like it was summer time already.

The weather was a little warmer than Charleston, and we even took a horse-drawn carriage ride with a newlywed couple (awkward for them!) and a young tour guide who probably wished he had a carriage full of elderly people rather than teachers on spring break.

Like Charleston, it was nothing out of the ordinary or exciting that made this trip sucha blast. It was being with good friends and the freedom to do what we wanted, when we wanted. After an 8 hour trip back, I felt refreshed and ready to start the last phase of the school year. We decided to travel back on Friday, which gave us the whole weekend to recuperate and get ready for the week ahead. Thinking about Spring Break adventures only makes me excited for what is to come this summer!
