Our Weekend In Savannah GA ...

 We just got back from a  fabulous weekend in Savannah. We had such an amazing time! Since I always have much affection for anything southern, history related or vintage - when planning this trip  - I was extra excited to say the least. Daniel was truly feeling the idea since he also enjoys all of the above. I booked us at one of the sweetest Inn's on the river which happened to be off from River Street a very fun and beautiful location, and we found out later the river was named Moon River (yes like the song)  because Songwriter Johnny Mercer (he was from Savannah) - wrote the song after the river in Savannah. Super cool right?! One of our favorite songs...
We traveled to Georgia by Amtrak train, which was very interesting and different, and once we arrived we knew Savannah had us at Hello. From this day forward, Georgia will be forever on our minds...

 The start of our trip ~ Amtrak Station

Magnificent architecture & fragrant Azaleas.
