Our Trip To Savannah

Last weekend Patrick and I headed south for a weekend away to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. The boys stayed with my FIL while we were gone. We packed up early Friday and left for the 5ish hour drive there.

We arrived about 2:00 and checked into our Inn. We stayed at The Presidents Quarters Inn. I had never stayed at a Bed&Breakfast but this one had come recommend to us from a friend. We had a great corner room. I loved the decor and the king bed was super comfy. The bathroom was spacious and very nice. Overall I was very pleased with the Inn and would stay there again and recommend it!

Once we settled into our room we decided to walk to down to the river and check out our surroundings. we were only about 5 minutes from the river so it was a short walk. We went in a few shops, got a piece of fudge from the cutest candy store and then headed back to our room to get ready for dinner.

We took a rickshaw to city market and had a drink at an outdoor bar before heading to dinner at Garibaldi. We both thought that the meal was so so. Patrick got the flounder which he didn't care for. I had lasagna which was good. The goat cheese balls on my salad were the best part! The atmosphere at the restaurant was great and Patrick really enjoyed his Old Fashioned before dinner. We had a great waiter who was a local and gave us some great ideas of places we needed to go.

After dinner we walked to a really cool bar called Alley Cat. They had an unbelievable selection of liquor.

We left there and walked over to LuLus chocolate bar for dessert. Patrick had a mocha brownie and I had a warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and a latte. We were both pretty full from dinner so we didn't eat much.

Saturday we woke up and had breakfast at the Inn. We had scheduled a trolley tour for that day so after breakfast we headed to do that. It was very informative and cool to get an overview of the historic district of Savannah. We got off and walked around Forsyth Park and then caught another trolley to finish the tour.

We had lunch at Treylor Park and I thought it was fabulous. It puts a crazy spin on traditional meals, like PB&J wings. I had an apple pie sandwich. It was fried chicken with baked apples, bacon and cheddar. Super yummy! I could tell at lunchtime Patrick really wasn't feeling well, he hardly touched his lunch so I suggested we go back to our room for a bit.

Patrick got a nap in and I did some reading. He seemed to perk up some after a rest so we walked down to Leopolds for an ice cream cone and then to walk around a bit. We walked through an old old cemetery and then to see St. Johns Cathedral. After this we called our awesome rickshaw driver from the night before and he came and gave us another tour. It was fun to get his perspective on things versus the Trolley Drivers.

We had dinner reservations at Vic's on the River that night. I thought Patrick had perked up but I knew as soon as we got to dinner that he wasn't feeling well again. As soon as our meal came he went pale and I knew it was time to go back to the room. I rushed to try and eat some of the yummy steak I had ordered and we got the check. Patrick was in bed asleep by 8:00.

We had reservations to do a ghost tour that night but cancelled it. I did some reading before also going to bed pretty early.

Thankfully he woke up Sunday morning feeling much better and we grabbed breakfast before hitting the road back to our babies!

Despite Patrick being hit with a little tummy bug we had a great time. It's always so nice to get away and relax and hit the reset button.
