Savannah

River Street

Savannah is a beautiful city full of charm and graceful age. We came to town for a wedding and stopped by to meet the prospective bride and groom the evening before the big event (I’m not going to put their name on the Internet but they know who they are). They had rented a well-appointed apartment along historic River Street (map) for the week.

This was one of those places entered on the backside using a rickety wooden catwalk. It’s a bit difficult to describe but the land drops quickly next to the riverbank. Thus the second floor of a River Street building is at street level to the road behind it. Second floor doorways are connected to this parallel road by catwalks. It’s different and its fun. Here’s our older son on the balcony with the river behind him.

We also spent some time relaxing with family. Here are Dad and the younger son hanging out in the shade during some downtime.

    It looks like your kids had fun. I’m also going to have a Savannah and Tybee Island vacation and thinking if my children will have fun and your post answered my question. Well, it’s gonna be my first time to travel to GA that why I downloaded a travel guide from https://visittybee.com. Btw, thanks for sharing.

    My wife and I just went to Savannah a few weeks ago. Actually we went to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, but spent a couple of days exploring Savannah as HHI is only about 35 miles away from it. Savannah had always been on our bucket list. We went to a lot of things on that River Street, and many other things around there. Very cool and historic city, and well worth a stop there if you are ever around that area.
