Disclaimer: Petter family vacations tend to revolve around food. :)
We arrived at somewhere around 3 in the morning on Saturday last week... (I don't remember it very well... I was sleepwalking a little bit, I think.) That day we visited Tybee Island, an island that's about 15 minutes away from our house that we were staying in Savannah. That night we ate at Cha Bella, an exceptional restaurant.
On Sunday we walked all around town in Savannah, sight-seeing and revisiting (in my case), places that are one of a kind. That day we ate lunch at a cafe called SoHo that had tasty natural foods. Dinner that night was very memorable: we ate at a restaurant called The Olde Pink House. This place had some history and some really wonderful food; it was some of the best food I've ever tasted, and that's saying something.
The next day we ate lunch at Mrs. Wilkes', a restaurant that made it into the book "1,001 Place To Visit Before You Die". The food is served family style and there are about 22 different dishes on the table at once! For dinner that night we had pizzas.... They weren't very good. But the restaurant's name was funny: Spanky's. When we had to leave, on that Tuesday, it seemed like some otherworldly force was trying to stop us from making our return flight... Many incidents continued to occur--including detours, construction, and GPS malfunctions--attempted to make us miss our flight. But we made it just in time and got home safe and sound!
Savannah, Georgia is definitely a place that I recommend to visit. It is beautiful, full of history, a qwerky town with a mix between Old South and the art school that is spread across town, making Savannah a must-see vacation getaway.
