A perfect day in Savannah, Georgia……blends history, charm, Southern hospitality…..and an abundance of WALKING!
Our second stop ……South Historic District. We strolled through Forsyth Park to admire the iconic fountain, the moss-draped oak trees, and the blooming azaleas! Parking was easily available on the side streets near the historic homes(Included the Mercer-Williams House and the Armstrong Kessler Mansion.
Our third stop …..was the famous Bonaventure Cemetery….a must-see for its haunting beauty, history, and connection to the movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”
Advice for visiting Savannah:😂😂😂
1. Watch out for the “S” in Forsyth Park – It stands for Spanish moss, squirrels, and spirits. The moss is beautiful but full of bugs, the squirrels will judge your snack choices, and the ghosts? Well, they might just join you for a drink.
2. Speaking of drinks… Savannah has an open-container law, meaning you can walk around with alcohol. But be careful—after a few to-go cups, you might start giving historical tours of buildings you’ve never been in.
3. The cobblestones on River Street were designed by someone who hated ankles. Wear good shoes, and don’t try to impress anyone with fancy footwork. The ghosts don’t care.
4. Southern hospitality is real, but so is the humidity. People will call you “sweetheart,” but your hair might betray you in ways you never imagined.
5. If a local tells you a ghost story, believe them. And maybe don’t book the cheapest Airbnb in a 200-year-old house unless you enjoy flickering lights and unexplained noises.
6. The pralines are free samples for a reason. They know you’ll be back for a full bag. You won’t win this battle—just buy them.
7. Never challenge a local to a debate about the best fried chicken. It’s a trap. Just nod, agree, and enjoy every bite.
8. The fountains run green for St. Patrick’s Day. No, it’s not a plumbing issue. Yes, the entire city turns into a party. Pace yourself.
9. If you hear hooves, don’t panic—it’s just a carriage tour. But if the horse looks at you funny, it might be sizing you up for a past-life encounter.
10. Enjoy the slow pace. If you’re in a hurry, Savannah will politely remind you to sit your sweet self down and enjoy another glass of sweet tea.
Have fun in Savannah—just don’t trip on a cobblestone!
