savannah.

Almost two weeks ago (geez, time flies), my girls, Katie Beth, Jessica, Margot, and I threw up deuces to our husbands and babies (after a sorrowful goodbye and a good cry, on my behalf) and headed east to Savannah for a fun getaway weekend. We had been planning this trip for months and months so I was super eager and excited when the day finally arrived.

We pulled out of Birmingham early afternoon, which put our arrival around 7:00, 8:00 p.m. with the time change. Jessica made us reservations to eat at the 17hundred90 Inn and Restaurant for dinner, which was so cozy and inviting and the food was amazing. Dining at one of the most haunted hotels in the nation was the perfect way to start our adventure.

We woke up early Friday morning to explore the historic city. We decided to do an on/off trolley tour with Old Savannah tours, which allowed us to discover as much of Savannah as we could fit into one day.

We first got off the trolley on River Street for lunch and shopping. We ate at Tubby's Tank House which boasts an awesome view of the river and has delicious calamari and fried green tomatoes. It was delish. After buying our littles souvie t-shirts, we hopped back on the trolley for more exploring!

Among the sites and stops were the Pirates' House, Colonial Park Cemetery, Forsyth Park, the City Hall, the Exchange Bell, the Davenport House, the Juliette Gordon Low Birth Place, the Andrew Low House, Telfair Academy, the Owens Thomas House, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and all of the beautiful squares.

We also got off at the City Market to walk the streets and get some ice cream. My sweet of choice was the buttermilk gelato. Yummy.

After the tour we headed home to freshen up and grab an early dinner because at 8:00 we had another tour planned—the "Boos and Brews" ghost tour! We found the cutest restaurant to eat at, called SOHO South Cafe. It gave off the perfect vibe for girl's night out and the food was sooooo good. 

The ghost tour was a huge hit. It was, by far, one of the highlights of the entire trip. While we didn't see any ghosts, orbs, or vortexes, we had a lot of laughs from the start of our walk through haunted Savannah to the end. 

Saturday morning we drove to Tybee Island for an afternoon in the sun. We ate brunch at the world famous Breakfast Club then beached it for a couple of hours. 

I would like to add that I have never in my life seen such a crowded beach before! I felt like I was in a "Where's Waldo" book. Like people-watching? Head to Tybee. 

We decided to head back to Savannah in time to make it to the SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival in Forsyth Park. They had live music, food, and, of course, art. 

Saturday night, for our last "hoorah" we had reservations at Garibaldi's. It was our night to go all out and that we did. Hello, lobster pasta and banana split. Meet my belly. 

We ended the night with drinks on top of the Bohemian Hotel at Rocks on the Roof. It was the perfect way to end our trip! 

Sunday morning we said our goodbyes to our cute little cottage and hit up B. Matthew's for breakfast before we hit the road. It really was such an awesome weekend. While we were all happy to get home to our husbands and babies, we are all still dreaming of roaming the idyllic streets of the first planned city in Georgia. 

Until next time, Savannah.
