Exploring in Savannah

Wow, Savannah is a fun city! It’s perfect for a vacation with its cobblestone streets, cool shops,  little restaurants and street life. 

This one day trip to Savannah was planned on our way back to Florida after a few days in Williamsburg, VA. It was nice breaking up our driving into two days. Plus, I got to explore a new city! The city was so beautiful. I wish I would’ve brought my big DSLR instead of my little point and shoot! It’s okay- I’m already thinking of when I can come back!

Savannah has tons of quaint and fun restaurants. Skyler’s Restaurant drew my mom’s attention for lunch. We entered through a cute hotel, went down two sets of stairs and found the warm little restaurant.

Oh, servers. When I warn you I’m going to go off the menu and create my own salad and list all of my requests, please don’t just write “salad” down on the menu and then give me something very different from what I ordered.

Since I’ve been eating a ton of food and few veggies, I was looking forward to eating a salad. Below is what I got after (nicely) re-requesting the bell peppers, tomatoes and sliced almonds. Lettuce and a few cucumbers won’t satisfy my appetite!

The salad was delicious with the balsamic dressing. The almonds definitely completed the salad.

The salad was delicious, but not enough to keep me full for long. I dug into my Trader Joe’s snacks as soon as we got back to the car!

I also enjoyed some delicious coleslaw made with olive oil and vinegar. So much more refreshing than the mayo version!

With lunch in our bellies we were ready to walk to the market!

LOL- Apparently Savannah did a very good job of celebrating St. Patty’s Day yesterday!

We pet all the horses and the market. These babies were so soft and snuggly. Maybe I need a horse along with the cats and dogs? :)

The family was planning on stopping for ice cream. I wanted something sweet (but don’t eat milk-based desserts), so I snuck in Cafe GelatOhhh! to check out their vegan options. They had a slew of dairy-free gelato flavors!

I ordered chocolate and raspberry. Oh my goodness. It was actually so delicious that the whole family ditched their ice cream and ordered gelato! Yum!

I can’t wait to visit Savannah- and Cafe GelatOhhh!- soon!

What is your favorite city to visit? Have you been to Savannah?
