Savannah, GA

Savannah, GA is known as "America's Best Walking City". It is the largest National Historical Landmark District with over 2,300 colonial and Victorian homes. It was the first planned city in the country, laid out in 1733 on a perfect grid that holds over 20 little acre parks to enjoy throughout. Oh, and did I mention how much FUN it is?!


Savannah is and always has been one of my favorites. I decided to rent a car for the week of shows in Georgia and South Carolina. They were short trips, and I really wanted to be able to enjoy my time down there and spend it as I chose, rather than having to get on a bus at a specific time every day. I definitely made the most of my time in Savannah!


My friend Kelly stuck around with me on Saturday afternoon. We had a show that night a few hours away in Augusta and waited until the last possible minute to leave Savannah.


We started out day out eating at The Lady & Sons, Paula Deen's restaurant. Thanks to it being so famous, when we went to put our names on the list for lunch at 11:30am, they were taking names for dinner at 9pm. ???!!! Crazy. Luckily it was just the two of us so we were able to wait in line for seats in the bar.


I decided to order off the menu rather than do the lunch buffet. The buffet was very Southern- fried chicken, collared greens, black eyed peas, etc. I pretty much wanted everything on the menu so I did soup (made with lots of butter), salad and a chicken salad sandwich. Kelly got an awesome asparagus sandwich, and I got Kevin pulled pork, biscuits, mac and cheese and cole slaw to go. Yuuummmmmm!!!!

Along the river downtown- sooooo pretty!

And P.S.- Kevin turned 30 in Savannah. :) We went out after the show on Friday night and celebrated a little with some friends. While it stunk to have his birthday on a one-nighter, at least it was in Savannah, and not a place like Lima or Redding.
