The U.S. Post Office has Massive Georgia marble and granite building with intricate friezes under eaves. Many architectural ideas are combined here. Notice the tower with its marble arches and intriguing details.

The Beach! I just love Tybee Island.It is secluded and off the beaten path. untouched and beautiful
I was married on Savannah's Beach at Tybee Island. My Tybee beach wedding on the sand was gorgeous and all thanks to my wedding planner! A Tybee island local, she knows savannah and the island well.Our beachside ceremony was barefoot and my dad walked me down a flower petal aisle!Our cake was amazing and the cocktails didn't hurt. People like happy hour here
We had fifty guests and a tent on the sand. we chose an authentic Luau reception with a whole roasted pig! coconut candles and shell and orchid leis were my favors.
we pledged our vows as the sun set.Perfect!!!!
I will return every anniversary to Tybee!
We had our rehearsal dinner at George's restaurant and our Sunday brunch at A.J.s- both are wonderful!!!!
If you are getting married, call Anastasia !!

I don't really have a 'favorite' thing about Savannah. I really don't like the place. I go because I have to. I don't find the people especially friendly, it's too hot, it's rainy, touristy and getting around is a nightmare.
Being with the ladies of Zona Rosa naturally. Leave a Comment

 Beautiful monument at
Bonaventure Cemetery by Live_4_Today,

I've traveled to Savannah several times, and I have to say the historic district is a very safe place to walk and explore. Before my first trip, someone suggested when I go, to plan a walking tour by starting at Bay Street and walking south on Bull all the way to Forsythe Park. You get to experience lots of shops, and the beautiful city squares this way, and get a real feel for the historic district.
The Savannah History Museum on Martin Luther King Blvd. would be a great place to see some Civil War relics, and I HIGHLY suggest taking one of the many tours offered in town. The walking tours are lots of fun, but if you'd prefer not to walk, there are lots of trolley and carriage tours that will get you up to speed on some of the history about town.
The Lady and Sons is a good place to eat, as are many of the restaurants on River Street. Our FAVORITE is Mrs. Wilkes dining room on Jones Street. It is only open at lunch time (11-2 I believe) and only takes cash, but you'll get the TRUE Southern dining experience there. No menu, just pass around lots of good home cookin' at the table with others. Great way to meet people. We also like the Pirate House on E. Broad Street. They have a delicious buffet at lunch, and a very nice menu for dinner. We've also had a wonderful meal at Belford's in the City Market.
My husband's favorite haunt in town is the riverside. He loves sitting there watching the big ships come in and go out........and I get to shop at all the shops on River Street while he does that!
Be SURE to either take a tour to Bonaventure Cemetery, or drive out yourself. It's NOT to be missed!
I just LOVE walking through the squares in town. It gives one the feeling of being a part of this old city. Leave a Comment
