Honeymoon in Savannah, GA

We are home from our honeymoon in Savannah, GA. We fell in love with this historic city and wanted to share a little bit of our adventure and what we learned :)


We stayed 2 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean... we got up real early to watch the sun rise:)


Take a look at these mossy trees! This is what we think of when we hear about Savannah. We learned that the moss is actually an air plant that doesn't grow from the tree, but is drifted through the air and builds up on the trees.










When we arrived in the city we saw a lady making these flowers out of palm leafs. We were amazed as she weaved to create a rose! Being new to the city, we gave in and bought one not knowing we could find them throughout down town.



We ate on the roof of the Bohemian Hotel, and this was our view!



We ate at many great local restaurants. Uncle Bubba's is one of the Paula Dean restaurants. It was very good... we had shrimp, scallops and crabcakes! Other restaurants we ate at were: The Cotton Exchange & The Pirates House.



DeWayne had planned for us to take a carriage ride through down town. We trotted through the stone roads of Savannah learning about architecture, where certain movies were filmed, which places are haunted, etc.
This is the steeple that the feather flew by in Forest Gump. The part where he was eating a box of chocolates is also in Savannah. The bench isn't there, but the memory is...

If you went to our wedding, you would know that we love honey! We gave away honey as a wedding favor. In the city one of our favorite shops was called 'The Savannah Bee Company.'

There you could sample 6 different types of honey. They have two stores down town and one on the island.

Meet the waving girl. This statue is of a lady named Florence Martus who used to stand at the entrance of the harbor and wave ships in with her handerchief in the day, and a lantern at night. She did this for 44 years and it's estimated she welcomed about 50,000 ships.

The weather was perfect; in the 70's. We celebrated DeWayne's birthday on the 14th. We really had a great time. We have lots more pictures and memories to share if you'd like to hear them. Love, The Bunch's!
