Thursday through Sunday I stayed at another historic home. It was perfectly decorated and felt like home. I was lucky enough to share the master suite with another mom of identical girls. We had a lot of down time to relax, explore the city and visit. Savannah is a gorgeous city to walk around and learn the history. One afternoon while walking, myself and another lady came across an old cemetery. Many of the graves here were from the 1820 yellow fever epidemic.
There were so many gorgeous trees and they all had something called Spanish Moss on them. I still do not fully understand how it gets on the trees and why it is there, but I do know that it is not actually a moss at all and those pesky chiggers live in it, so you do not want to touch or you will be miserable.
There are so many beautiful tree lined streets. However, they are not just lined, but the trees arch over the streets, I can only imagine how stunning it looks when all the trees are in full bloom and have all their leaves. There are so many azalea bushes in shades of pink and purple.
Another thing that caught my attention was a pizza and ice cream shop called "Sweet Melissa's." Really, with a name like that how can you go wrong?
You can walk down by the river where there are tons of shops and restaurants.
Another place that was a must see was a delicious cupcake shop called Cupcake Emporium. They had dozens of flavors to choose from and it seriously took me longer to decide on a flavor then to eat the one I chose. After much debate, I settled on chocolate chip cookie dough with a vanilla butter cream frosting.
