I was looking forward to going up to Boston last weekend to see The Boyfriend. But instead, he surprised me with a trip down south to Savannah, Georgia. What a sweetheart! We flew out from LGA, transferred in Charlotte and landed in Savannah before midnight. Time slows down in Savannah. People talk slower, walk slower and move slower. It wasn't a problem. Time always moves too quickly when it's just the two of us.
We ran into Savannah's Annual Jazz Festival on their very last day.
The Jazz Festival was located in Forsyth Park. We spent the entire day laying on the grass. The Boyfriend napped and I watched the children play.
The next day, we visited the Telfair Museum.
And took a one-hour cruise along the Savannah River.
Savannah is a very walkable town. Old European houses peaked beautifully behind tall trees planted in parks on every two or three blocks. Every time we came to an intersection, we had to stop and take in the lush beauty. I felt like I had to whisper as I walked down the street.
Have you ever visited Savannah, Georgia? What's your favorite southern town or which southern town would you like to visit?

Nope, never been to Savannah. And yes, i have been to a southern town. In fact, i live in a southern town! I can't say where though. I can tell you that it is a great city and very beautiful.
I looked up more photos of Forsyth Park and it's amazingly beautiful. I was born in a southern state, Texas.
I have never been here, or even heard of the town.
Savannah's beautiful- I live in Georgia, so I've been there a few times.
Personally, I like Charleston, SC better though- less bars and drunken idiots.
Mmm, Savannah is beautiful! I live up the road about an hour or so from it, so I've been a few times.
