Mom and daughter trip 4-22 thru 4-26(beware lengthy!:)

Savannah is wonderful!



Stayed at Red Roof Inn Midtown...nice hotel, clean, not fancy...nice staff.



Simple breakfast (cereal bagels etc.) free-enough to get you going in the morning. Would advise to rent car as we did.



We ate at:



The Good:



Mrs Wilkes (wonderful-great southern old time food-well worth the hour wait and 16.00!)



Sweet Potatoes(by our midtown hotel)-good food...not expensive.



Johnny Harris-excellent barbeque...again not expensive..great friendly service!



Leopolds-Not only do they have ice cream to die for but a pretty darn good chicken salad sandwich!



Vinnie VanGOGO-we got take out and thought they made a mistake-4 pieces of pizza looked like a whole pie-and yummy to boot!



Tony Roma-Mom had giant burger and I had bbQ sandwich-not bad for a not so traditional choice in Savannah.



The Bad-



Pirates Inn-very disapointed. We had heard good things but was terrible. Expensive (which all the above were not) which we would not have cared but it was not good. I will write more indepth review in their category...but bottom line...bad food bad service. Very sad as this was our splurge night out.



We did:



Market Square- not as many shops as we thought...mostly galleries but Vinnie Van GoGo is there and there was a guy singing and playing guitar who was quite good.



Shops at River Street-best bet for souvenir shopping..cool atmosphere and resturants.



Trolly tours: 1 day Ogelthorpe ...one day old Savannah...fun and informative easy way to get around with on/ off option.



Ghost Tour -Ogelthorpe-had a great guide...fun way to spend the evening!



Visted Tybee and Bonadventure Cemetary(which is a must see!)



Visted Juilette Low birthplace-very interesting.



Also the beautiful catholic church-highly recommend stopping there...it will take your breath away!!





If you are not staying in town -rent a car -the only bad thing is little parking and some crazy drivers!





Would I visit again??? You betcha!!!!!

Just an update...I reviewed all the places I mentioned on their individual sites so check those if interested in more details.





Last night I turned on the tube and Midnight in the Garden on Good and Evil was on. It was so cool to see all the places we visted in Savannah!




Thanks for the review! Come back anytime!




Also watch:





';Forrest Gump';





The old ';Cape Fear'; with Robert Mitchum





If you can stand it ';The Gingerbread Man';. I like Kevin Branaugh but that accent! ';Wait didn%26#39;t he have a horrible southern accent? Oh, there, it%26#39;s back';





Lots of other movies made here but those you can really pick out Savannah spots.
