Savannah GA USA

Of course I'm going to put Leopold's ice cream.

What other things did we do and see and ate that we all loved?

The pralines place was good Molly, Riverwalk Sweets right?
Do you remember WHICH one in Charleston is Hunter's fave so I can add that to the Charleston list?

How come I can't remember where we ate in Savannah?  We did that Ladys and Sons, then that  
seafood place on first day. Drift away Cafe.

I loved Forsythe park, and just walking around ALL the squares/parks/fountains…..and I thought it was cool that DOT was free for the yellow/green boat, and the trolley along riverwalk.

These are my notes from the Driftaway Cafe guy and his recommendations, we should try those when/if we are there again:

Walls BBQ - angels BBQ

Johnny Harris - victory drive

Back in the day bakery - hip

Bakers pride

Shrimp and grits - girabaldis or belfords

We ate breakfast at the coffee shop on Forsythe. It was good.

We did the water taxi and rail car. 

We has a very good and cheap pizza but don't recall name. U had good food from The place across the street from the pizza place which was also the recommendation from just the drift away CafĂ©.

Next time I would also try to do a haunted mansion tour. 

We loved walking along all the squares especially at night which is something I did with the children. It is pretty amazing the way they are lit.

There are quite a few churches to see we saw only one. Remember the very nice stained glass in the one we saw.
 I looked up our wknd trip notes, we are foodies, so for us it was all about the food - we thought Lady and Sons was nothing special. The usual messy buffet. It was our least favorite meal. Our favorite meal was at a very local joint called Driftaway Cafe (super local casual fish tacos), the shrimpt and grits at Belford's was fantastic as well as the fried green tomatoes, across from this restaurant is a casual pizza pick up place if you're going with kids, it's a good quick stop. Kids loved the candy at Riverwalk Sweets. As for activities, we did the free rail/trolley ride and the $10 water taxi ride (you can do a more expensive tourist one but for the kids the taxi ride was plenty). The Ghost Tour might have been fun but we had scaredy cats in our group. Walking around the parks were fantastic, especially at dusk/night when they were lit up. Lots of churches to stick your head in. Leopold's ice cream was absolutely our FAVORITE, we went three times in one wknd!!! Some recommendations we had from a foodie source/friend but didn't have time for: Walls BBQ, Angels BBQ, Johnny Harris, Bakeries - Baker's Pride and Back in the Day. Hope that helps!
