Our Weekend in Savannah

for our one year anniversary, we spent the weekend in beautiful savannah, georgia.  neither of us had been there before, so we were very excited about exploring a new place together. we left the city on friday afternoon and spent two nights at the olde savannah inn in the gorgeous bellevue room. neither of us had ever stayed at a b&b before, and we could not have asked for a better first experience! kathleen, the owner of the olde savannah inn was so welcoming and her breakfasts were unbelievable.  on sunday morning she made us homemade blueberry pancakes topped with her amazing whipped cream, maple glazed bacon, and fresh fruit.  unreal.  the decor of the b&b was perfectly balanced with victorian charm and luxurious comfort.  her english garden was in full bloom and the parlor was always stocked with giant chocolate chip cookies.  i felt like i was in europe and in another time period...both of which i dream about. 

we spent friday evening strolling the cobblestone roads of enchanting savannah.  we stopped in the savannah candy shop for some taffy {one of our favs} and then went to the six pence pub.  hello london! it was a precious pub with a red phone booth outside and displays of british china on the inside.  

saturday after breakfast we headed over to tybee island for the morning.  it was fun to drive around and see what tybee island was all about.  unfortunately boca grande has spoiled us with it's charm and peacefulness, so tybee didn't really do much for us.  so, we headed back to savannah for lunch.  

yeah tybee island..

when we got back to savannah we rented a vespa for the day, which was so much fun and the best way to see savannah.  parking is tricky in savannah, so it was great having the vespa and being able to park it anywhere!  we rode that thing around for hours and enjoyed lunch at the goose feathers cafe' and went into some fabulous shops.  my favorites were the paris market, terra cotta, and the kitchen on the square!

for dinner we celebrated at garibaldi cafe.  it was very yummy and tyler had a local bakery remake the top of our wedding cake.  the original was disgusting after a year {go figure} so we were glad to have a fresh cake to enjoy.  

sunday was such a sweet day!  we watched our wedding video and looked at our wedding album, reflecting on that day and this past year.   we were so sad to leave the olde savannah inn and all that charm.  i guess we will just have to go back!
