Hey everyone! We haven't posted for quite some time; however, we really wanted to share our trip to Savannah in hopes that it may lure you down our way. This year we decided since Thanksgiving break and winter break are so close together we would stay close to home and save our travelling energy for December. On a whim, we booked a Thanksgiving dinner at The Olde Pink House, a place we only read about through a quick google search, then found a hotel reservation in the historic district and here we were!
Brad had never been to Savannah before this trip and I had only visited once. I fell in love with the city immediately and I hoped he would too. Luckily, he did. What's not to like? Good food, great scenery, and relaxing environment with plenty to see and do. Please visit Savannah if you ever have a chance. We promise you'll love it as much as we do. Plus, we're only a short 2 1/2 hour drive from this beautiful city. We could meet you there!
We arrived in Savannah around noon and quickly checked into taking a walking tour. We found this guy...Savannah Dan. Notice his attire, a white seersucker suit. Man looks the part!
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
Does this spot look familiar? No?
What about these two steeples? Ring a bell?
Have you seen Forrest Gump? The first photo is where the park bench sat. You know, the one he sat on where he said the line, "my mama always said, 'life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get'." The park bench only existed for the movie. The second photo you should recognize from the beginning of the movie where the feather is floating in the air and eventually lands at Forrest's feet (while sitting on the bench).
We only got one photo taken of each of us, and never a photo of the two of us. Anyway, here I am at Savannah College of Art and Design standing next to a cannon.
Brad was happy to see this guy -- Founder of the Methodist Church. Brad studies religion, this guy was religious. See the connection?
This is the Olde Pink House where we ate our Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant on your trip.
The mahi-mahi (the fish, not the dolphin) water spouts are common to the area. Apparently they bring good luck if you touch them during a rain storm. Since when does touching metal in a rain storm make since?
Every where you look there are gorgeous homes.
Our favorite area to stroll around was Forsyth Park
Oh, look it's Brad! I loved this cute, little house -- I'm partial to brick.
