Hey everyone! Its been a busy few months (which is always a good thing) but I finally got through all my Savannah photos from my summer 2014 road trip. Forgive my memory, but the more time that passes, the more I’m starting to forget. So with the help of the internet, hopefully it can refresh my memory.
We stayed at the most beautiful hotel called “Mansion on Forsyth Park.” This grand 125-room Victorian Romanesque mansion is covered with onyx and Verona marble, Lalique chandeliers and Versace furniture. As my mom and I explored the hotel we enjoyed looking at the mansions art collection of more than 400 original pieces displayed throughout..png)

One of the hotel employees told us that this rug (photo above) in their ballroom was designed and made by the same people who did the flooring in the Titanic. We thought that was pretty cool. .png)

We only had one day to spend in Savannah, so we wanted to make the most of it. We decided that the best way to get around and see the city was by trolly. We decided on the Old Savannah Tours Trolly. They have an On/Off Tour option that basically makes them your taxi for the day. They have 15 trolley stops, each stop conveniently located near points of interest (like the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, City Market, and River Street), etc and for $28 a ticket you can get off and on all day. The trolly tour guide narrates the entire time and they even have some characters dressed up in period costumes that come on board at the different stops and tell stories. It was a lot of fun and made getting around an unfamiliar city super easy. .png)

This tiny house above was featured on the cover and in the book Savannah’s Little Crooked Houses. Circa 1845 this historic cottage is the smallest free standing house in the historic district. You can actually stay there as a vacation rental if you wanted..png)

Our tour guide recommended “Molly Macpherson’s Scottish Pub” for lunch. It was a cute place and the food was good. We honestly were so hungry we didn’t want to walk another step. Next time id love to find a place on the riverfront, but this was where we were in the city market. .png)

The photo above is of where the famous Forest Gump bus bench scene took place. The actual bench is in a museum, but the chained area is where it was located. .png)

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Wish there wasn’t so many tourist when I went so I could of taken a photo without a bunch of people randomly standing around. .png)

The fountain in Forsyth Park was directly across from our hotel and was the last stop for us in Savannah. We had so much fun exploring Savannah and wish we had more time to spend there. I hope you enjoyed my Savannah photos! Look out for the last blog post from our road trip in St. Augustine, Florida!
