Pirates ?☠️, Ghost ?, scandals, Southern hospitality, sweet tea, fried chicken ?, drinks ? to go (yes, To Go cups), riverwalk, manicured parks, horse ? drawn carriages, night life ?, fine dining, cemeteries, ice cream ?, and antebellum homes unlike anywhere in the South. Savannah has something to offer everyone. Consistently named one of the “world’s friendliest cities” by Condé Nast Traveler readers, this coastal town has a world-class reputation for hospitality and grace. Stepping into a time machine and enjoy where the old South meets the 21st century.
In lieu of skyscrapers and busy traffic noise, Savannah offers twenty-two squares and parks sprinkled throughout the Historic District. The movie Forest Gump used one of these squares as the setting for our protagonist to weaver his life tale. People watching is a great activity under the live oak tress covered in moss. I also recommend reading the book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” ? for a scandalaous true story of the shooting of Dan Hanford by his employer Jim Williams and the four mistrials and eventual acquittal of Mr. Williams. The story tells of the voodoo from the Gullah community and the ever lovable Lady Chablis. This Book ? is deep in southern culture which makes an endearing story of Savannah.
After a day spent walking the city, let the kiddos run through the water fountains ⛲️ in City Market (you could join them too!). The restaurants surrounding Ellis Square are also a great place to end the evening with good food and great company.
A visit to Savannah would not be complete without exploring the Birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, creator of Girl Scouts of the USA. At this unique house museum, visitors can learn about Low’s life and the movement she founded.

To really beat the heat and enjoy some cold ? AC during the more intense summer afternoons, explore ? the museums and house tours that Savannah has sprinkled throughout the squares. Whether you want to spend the day learning the unique history at the American Prohibition Museum or roam through old mansions like the Davenport House, there’s a museum waiting for you and you never know when you may see a ghost.
Savannah boast a world ? famous recipe of shrimp ? and grits. However, I am personally more fond of a good olde fashion Low country bowl ?. Robin does the best home made boil but the restaurants are not bad either. I must mention that the oysters ? in the low country are some of the tastiest in the planet. The reason I believe is due to the tides which fluctuate between 8-10 feet ? twice a day. The rocking of the oysters in the bed create a scrumptious flavor. If the oyster bed ? is rocking then don’t come a calling ?
Low Country Boil with Family is the Best
What a good looking family! ?? and that food looks delicious! Can I eat at your house?!
Thank you ?. Robin always cooks to much food ? so let’s us know if you a close to any of our future stops.
