Savannah Trip!

Savannah, Georgia

I first started going to Savannah, Ga about 7 years ago. This artistic and charming city became an annual destination for my hubby and I.
Last year I married my best friend in the historic (and some say haunted) Marshall House, and this year we returned for our anniversary. As always Savannah is one of my favorite subjects for photography.

Huey's 

After rushing to River Street and straight into Wet Willies (the always packed daiquiri bar). We strolled along the cobble stone streets sucking down our drinks and cringing when the brain freeze sets in.
Huey's has been our place to go for dinner for the past few years. This small New Orleans inspired cafe allows me to start with perfect fried green tomatoes, munch on fresh seafood for a main dish, and wind it all up with fluffy beignets.

Walking through the beautiful squares that Savannah is known for gives the inner photographer a chance to thrive.  This in itself is a reason to make the three to four hour trip. 

 Colonial Park Cemetery

During this trip we were able to walk through Colonial Park Cemetery. Most of our other trips we would always walk to the cemetery just to find we were too late and the gates had been locked up for the night. This, we are told, is because Voodoo sacrifices would be found before they began to lock up the grounds.

Parts of the city have amazing colors and ethereal settings that make tourists stop in their tracks, line the sidewalks, and take a hundred plus shots of the same church steeple....yes I am guilty of this as well.

Shopping

The shopping around City Market, River Street, and a little bit of all over the city is another charm that keeps me happy and my husband standing by the dressing room holding my bag.

 Tybee Island and getting crabs

We always find time to sneak out of the city and explore Tybee Island. Most time we find ourselves enjoying the beach, but this time we spent a few hours driving around enjoying the sights and...yes you guessed it shopping.

On the way back to Savannah we make sure we stop by The Crab Shack. A-MAZING food and the drinks hit the spot as well.
