On July 10th, Isaac and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! Since we were going to be in Hilton Head the following week for a medical conference, we decided to leave early and spend our anniversary in Savannah, GA on the way. Isaac sweet-talked the hostess at The Lady & Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant) into reservations and it was a fabulous time! We both ordered the buffet which included fried chicken, low country shrimp boil and various country-style sides full of butter! We had to try the fried-green tomatoes too for an appetizer. For dessert, we walked a few blocks to a chocolate bar and shared chocolate fondue. We are so blessed to have a great marriage and to love one another more today than we did the day we said "I do".
At The Lady and SonsThe next day, we decided to go on a sightseeing tour around town. There is so much history in Savannah and such a fun town to visit. We plan to go back sometime soon and go on our own walking tour.
Map of our tour route-Jim was our guide and we really enjoyed his jokes and historical account of Savannah.
This statue is of a lady who waved to every ship coming in the port for several decades, hoping her love was coming back to her. Jim told us she also made alot of sailor friends, haha.
This fountain has been in a few movies-which movies? I don't know!
Pirate House where pirates actually camped out long ago.
If you are looking for a fun place to visit for a weekend, Savannah is a must! You can walk everywhere and there is so much to see and do. I'm sure the weather is beautiful in the spring and fall.
