A long weekend in Savannah

By now you may have caught on that I love big trees. Perhaps I was heavily influenced by hugging trees at Girl Scout camp when I was little? In any case, the trees in Savannah did not disappoint! They are tall with wide canopies, winding branches, and dripping with Spanish moss, and there are hundreds of them.

We did not walk through all 22 squares, but we saw a few on foot and a bunch more on the trolley ride. River Street was a fun place to stop for a drink and browse the outdoor market. And speaking of the Girl Scouts, we went on a tour of the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum, a must-see for any former scout!

Back to trees. Wormsloe State Historic Site is maybe 20 minutes from downtown, and totally worth the trip. There were some nice walking trails, but the drive into the park was the best. Just look at these live oaks!
