We had a great time visiting another new city, being tourists, eating Southern food, and spending time together. Especially since he'd been gone practically since New Year's. We felt like newlyweds again.
I had a complimentary stay certificate for the Hampton Inn on East Bay Street in Historic Savannah, which is directly across the street from River Street. We were in the heart of the city and walking distance to everything. The hotel itself was in an original building, so everything was brick, wood, and old (but rennovated, it was so pretty!). The elevators were ungodly loud though, so if you ever visit this hotel, ask to be far away from them!Savannah itself was so beautiful. We did a Trolley Tour that took us all around the city and explained the history of the city design, buildings, the famous squares, movies that took place in Savannah, etc. So much fun.
But, coolest part about the Trolley Tour was that when I called to get info, the operator told me that they could pick us up in 10 minutes from our hotel for the next tour. However, when we went outside to look for our trolley, a limousine was waiting on us instead! The limo took us to the main Trolley Tour hub where we caught our trolley. And yes, the limo took us back to our hotel after our tour was over too.
We ate at Paula Deen's restaurant (The Lady and Sons) for our "Anniversary Dinner"... and Josh wasn't too thrilled with the food. We did the buffet dinner, which does not have a ton of options on it. He did like the mashed potatoes though. Of course, I loved all the food, but I'm much less picky than my husband....
Without further ado, our slide show of our Anniversary Trip:
Josh, Kim & Abby
I love your gnomes!!
