Island life, what could be better? The drive out to Tybee Island alone is worth the visit. Scenic wetlands as far as the eye can stretch, such a very beautiful sight to see. Our first stop on the island was Fort Pulaski National Monument [U.S. 80, Savannah, GA 31410]. Entrance […]

On a cloudy day, a hike at Skidaway Island State Park [52 Diamond Causeway, Savannah, GA 31411] was a perfect activity. The visitor’s center is great! A replica of a 20-food giant ground sloth mingles with many current examples of wildlife in the area. There are binoculars and reference books, […]
There’s just something so right about southern barbecue. Sandfly BBQ [8413 Ferguson Ave Savannah, GA 31406] is a little spot is a quiet part of the city with ample parking in the lot. Step inside and you’ll find a quirky, colorful, scene. I loved the atmosphere, and all of the […]
Kolache at Foxy Loxy [1919 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401] is a rockin way to start your day. I had my first kolach (singular, plural has an E at the end) on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, Texas. One day I’ll get to writing about that […]
Sweet, simple, and seriously scrumptious Southern Cuisine. You know, when you’ve got it, you’ve got it. Sweet Potatoes [6825 Waters Ave, Savannah, GA 31406] is outside the hustle bustle of downtown, there is a great parking lot and the food is very affordably priced. Sit down in the cheerful atmosphere, […]
Breakfast here is the real deal, a serious greasy spoon. Walking into Narobia’s Grits & Gravy [2019 Habersham St, Savannah, GA 31401], it is no frills, but who needs frills when you have biscuits? Take a seat at a little table or up at the counter so you can watch […]
I dreamed of the southern city by the sea, warm with palms, oaks, and Spanish moss…With one day to explore Historic Savannah I had to plan the perfect itinerary. Wear a good pair of walking shoes and get ready to take in the sights! Our day began at Forsyth Park […]
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge [694 Beech Hill Ln, Hardeeville, SC 29927] isn’t in Savannah, Georgia! You are still in South Carolina, but it is close enough to the Georgia border that the city of Savannah is just over ten minutes away. By the time we had made it to the […]
The only time I have ever heard the word Gullah was from a childhood show, Gullah Gullah Island. I didn’t realize it as much when I was a kid because it was just fun to watch, but the show was exposing me to a unique culture of the barrier islands […]
Birding bonanza and gators galore! A visit to Pinckney National Wildlife Refuge [1/2 miles west of Hilton Head Island off of U.S. Highway 278] is a nature lovers dream come true. Just outside of Hilton Head it is a must visit if you are in the area, and was a […]
The right music can turn your road trip from a bore to so much more! On our way from Charleston to Savannah we decided to make a stop at a really quirky roadside attraction. As we were driving there I almost thought we made a wrong turn, we were entering […]
Beside the scorched brick structure the grass was wet with dew on a brisk morning. We were completely alone under the towering oaks. The birds were eerily, soulfully, singing their well practiced tunes as we walked around the columns. Our first stop on the road trip from Charleston to Savannah […]
March is probably my least favorite month in New York. Cold and snow are expected in December, January, February. By March, we’re over the hump of winter and you let your guard down when you get a few warm spring days, which are a total tease. Just when you think […]
