#1 the wharf: incredible view. huge barges. ferry rides. blast from the past: civil war style.
#2 civil-war era graveyards
we stayed in the house on the left. gorgeous early 1800s built buy the german owner.
#4 “fern action” as matt’s dad called it
#5 beautiful parks. most every intersection in the historical district has a lovely square with a park and sometimes bird people
matt’s lovely cousin who attends scad
another lovely park with susan and caitlyn (and some sweet [and chigger-filled] spanish moss).
this was a lovely little trip that i took with matt’s parents after we moved. savannah was delightful. i don’t know if i would have gone had it not been with matt’s parents. however, since going, i will definitely be taking more time to visit this dreamy southern town. the eateries are all delicious.
leopold’s icecream was lusciously smooth and incredibly flavorful: we went there 3 times in 3 days. another interesting place we ate at was located in an old boarding house:
mrs. wilkes (even the current president enjoyed a southern meal there with all the fixings).
even though matt’s parents are incredibly energetic and new-place-explorer extraordinaires and i am not always, they are so helpful in pushing me to visit and see new areas that i would have never known about. so thanks, papa and mama b. for your vivacious spirits and research. you guys are amazing.
p.s. one of my favorite parts of the trip was taking a midnight scooter ride with matt’s cousin through the historical sections. looping around the squares under a starry sky was breathtaking. the air was fresher and the streets still. we sat in swings next to a graveyard talking about life. waved at plastered bachelorette parties swaying on sidewalks. laughed at the pure freedom and bliss unhindering our view of the beautiful surroundings. it was a moment when time stopped and the moon and the road were our closest friends.
