On our way to Orlando we made a few stops and Savannah Georgia was one to remember. First on the list we needed to visit a friend who we missed dearly last year when she didn’t make it to the Island.
Here is June having tea and dessert at The Gryphon Tea Room
Guy and I joined her at the Gryphon for tea
June played tour guide and did a marvelous job showing us around the countryside
One of my favourite spots we ventured was to the Isle of Hope
On the left, their docks and waterfront
On the right, their homes and watch dogs
I was in wonder at the air moss hanging from the trees
And mesmerized by the Majestic Oak
This tree was the size of a block and the street just went around her like a traffic circle
After we left Bluff Dr we found this neat tree house
Camelia’s were in bloom everywhere we went
Returning to June’s wonderful home and all her wee little tea things we had lunch and were out and about again
this time we headed downtown to see the sights.
20 something squares make up the down town with parks on these squares, each one their own name
We visited all the squares including Chippewa Square, where Forrest Gump sat on the bench. Most of the parks had monuments, trees, park benches, flowers and paths.
We visited the square where the last slave auction took place
Interesting buildings, like where cotton was brought to be sold
Many a mirrored houses, with both sides looking the same
As well we toured Paula Deen’s block
Onto cobble stone streets and shops
To shrimp boats with the catch of the day
Then onto River Boats that were River Taxis
So much to see, so little time
Road to the Bethesda Home for Boys
We then returned home, ate, chatted, exchanged recipies and made plans to continue onto Jekyll Island in the morning
Thank you June for being such a thorough tour guide, our trip to Savannah will be one to remember.
I hope you all enjoyed Savannah, we did. Join me on Jekyll Island next

Oh mom I love the HUGE trees! I want to go to Savannah, I can not wait until we retire and we can get a “house on wheels” and just go!
Yes, it is fun, and carefree. We stop when we want, eat when we want, and watch movies along the way. Today we are tired and so we are catching up on mail and such.
What a beautiful city. I would love to visit there. We went to Charleston, SC 3 years ago and it was similar with all the historice homes and buildings. I love that huge old oak tree. Amazing!! Enjoy your visit to Jekyll Island.
Thank you Pamela, I think I missed my pictures of Charleston but Savannah was great. We so enjoyed Jekyll Island
Thank you so much! I love Savannah and June is the best tour guide there!!
Thank you again for sharing. Can’t wait to see Jekyll Island again.
The best tour guide I’ll add, I had to go look up some of the names of places I shared on my blog but the full tour was just naming them off one after the other. Jekyll Island was amazing
June shared this with me , she is such a lovely person and was excited to see you. The pictures are just beautiful, Scotland you enjoyed your time here. Come again when you have a little longer, wie will get together a tea party !
