Savannah, Georgia

 When Isaac asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, my instant response was a vacation or get-away of some sort! We hadn't had a night or weekend away since we moved to Georgia last summer and I was craving some time away. Isaac planned a blissful and relaxing get-away in Savannah, one of my favorite towns. And it was over the weekend of his 30th birthday, so it worked out well as a time of celebration. :)

 Our room - I was so excited about that bathtub. :)

 The first night, we had dinner at Vics on the River  (https://www.vicsontheriver.com/) - the clams and linguini were fantastic!


This orange tree in someone's little courtyard caught my eye.

Savannah is so walkable! It is only a little over a mile from Forsyth Park to the Riverfront - with blocks of city gardens, delicious cafes, and shops between. It reminds me so much of our time in Europe - walking to everywhere and feeling like we know the city so well after such a short time because we are passing the same landmarks over and over.

The hotel we stayed at - The Mansion on Forsyth Park. It was lovely!

So, when we decided on visiting Savannah we knew that was something on our list!
 

Brunch at Collin's Quarter - (https://www.thecollinsquarter.com/) We came here our first morning for brunch and loved it so much we were back the next morning :) This is the place we have talked about the most from our trip. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the service - all just wonderful.

Looking at these photos makes me long to be back in Savannah. :) I love vacationing with Isaac - our days were full of finding and savoring beauty, good food, and rich conversations. 💗
