Last night, I picked up Dad and Andrea from the Sanford Airport around 11 p.m.
Today, we woke up pretty early (considering we lost an hour due to Daylight Savings Time) and headed to Savannah. We drove through Daytona Beach and saw the bikes participating in Bike Week 2017.
We made it to Savannah around 1 p.m. We went to City Market and saw many cookies and candy stores. We walked along River Street where every store, it seemed, had free samples of warm pralines. We walked down Bull Street and walked through many squares. The streets, squares, and trees really make Savannah unique. I saw like 16 squares and there are probably plenty more.
There are many nice corner restaurants. I picked up a spiced lavender mocha from a takeout window. We walked by the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Lowe – founded of the American Girl’s Scouts.
We made it to Forsyth Park which the major park in Savannah. We went to Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. We saw the Savannah College Art and Design and ate at Leopold’s Ice Cream. We bought three children’s sizes of ice cream: lemon, thin mints, and butter pecan. Someone said that Leopold’s is like the 5th best ice cream in the world…. Not quite sure about that, but it was ok.
Afterwards, we walked to Lady & Sons which is Paula Deen’s restaurant. When in Savannah, you probably should have a Southern food buffet. Don’t judge me on the picture of the food. The fried chicken was really good. I liked the sweet potatoes and the cabbage too.
Savannah is really into St. Patrick’s Day. We even saw some Irish celebrations today. Most of the foundations are already spitting out green water. I heard it was in the top 5 places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
