I needed a weekend away and we have been wanting to go to Savannah, GA so we decided to make the trip a babymoon :) We had such a wonderful weekend. Traveling and exploring new places with that husband of mine is my favorite! We left early Friday morning and arrived in Savannah around lunch time. After checking into our hotel, we made our way to Zunzi's Express for lunch. Yum!
Since it was our babymoon, I decided to splurge on lots of treats (good thing I did when I could because I later found out I had gestational diabetes). After lunch we continued to walk around and explore and stopped at Leopold's for ice cream.
Savannah is so gorgeous! Huge live oak trees and little parks lining every street and at every corner. We made our way through the historic downtown and to river street. I had to stop at River Street Sweets to get some of the famous pralines and bear claws for later.
We enjoyed a happy hour - loved my mocktail - at Rocks on the Roof at the Bohemian Hotel. The views from the top were amazing.
That night we dined at The Olde Pink House Restaurant. We read so many wonderful things about this place and it was also recommended to us but some friends and clients. The restaurant had multiple rooms that you could eat in with different atmospheres. We went down to the tavern that felt like a log cabin retreat. It was dark and romantic. We really enjoyed our experience here but in all honesty, didn't really think the food was as good as the price tag for it.
Saturday morning, we started in the opposite direction to explore. We walked down Jones Street and wandered around Forsyth Park. Other stops included checking out all of Savannah's squares (little parks every few blocks throughout the city), the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and Lucas Theatre. By lunch we were starving and tired of walking. We ate at Kayak Cafe and LOVED our food. I read about it on a blog prior to going and I am so glad I did because from the outside I wouldn't have thought it was anything special.
After lunch we made stops at the Coffee Fox and Goose Feather's Cafe for coffee and a cookie. Next we browsed through the Paris Market and the City Market. The City Market was a lot of fun with live music and lots of little shops. We were able to catch the end of the Gopher football game at one of the bars there. I was exhausted after walking all day so we made our way back to the hotel to rest and freshen up before going to check out the Distillery for their craft beers. We ended the night with pizza from Vinnie Van Go Go's.
Sunday morning was rainy so we decided we wanted to get on the road earlier. We ended our Savannah trip with a fabulous brunch at B. Matthew's Eatery. So good! We definitely enjoyed our weekend in Savannah. It is a beautiful city to visit.
We already have so many trip ideas that we want to take this summer and fall so baby girl better be a good traveler!
