Sights Around Savannah




Savannah is such a beautiful city, full of many gorgeous and grand old homes.
I just love the ornate framed windows on this house, below.
Notice the pretty iron grill work, too.

 I love the fact that no home is alike!  These grand old mansions are full of so much charm and character, I think!
 Love the porch on this beauty, below.
 It's been such a treat to see green grass and trees in the middle of winter!
 The trees are starting to blossom!  Back at home there is still alot of snow!
 There are also lovely parks and squares at every turn, featuring monuments, fountains, and more.
The monument below is so tall, I could hardly get it all in my photo!
The beautiful fountain at Forsyth Park is one of the cities landmarks.
 Lots of history here.

 Below is Chippewa Square, where a scene from "Forrest Gump" was filmed.  It was when Tom Hanks was sitting on the park bench eating chocolates.  I just love that movie!  What you may not know is the park bench was really a movie prop, and is now in a museum.  Many site seeing tours stop here.
 Pretty churches.
 I just loved the red front door of this home, below, and the live topiaries, too.
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

    Oh you're making me want to go back to Savannah again.
    We went in April a few years ago, the tree pollen was high and the temps were high 80's! You went a good month.
    What I truly appreciate about Savannah's historic district is that you can not alter the appearance of the outside facade (only your interior) that's what keeps the city gorgeous and timeless. The only way you know your're in the present is the cars! Such grandeur and charm in friendly Savannah.
    xo,

    It's mighty cold here - maybe down to 5 degrees on Saturday night.

    Enjoy the warm weather.

    Hi Donna, What a beautiful city with so much character and interesting sights to see,
    I love the gorgeous homes and the monument settings. Seeing flowers begin to bloom has to be a welcome sight.
    Surely a nice break from snowy, freezing Michigan.
    Thank you for the city tour. You have inspired me to visit here one day.

    Have fun around Savannah.
    Hugs and Happy Valentine's Day!!

    Oh to have a front porch to while away the hours.
    The iron work around the windows, and on the fences, and gates is amazing!
    What beauty!
    Thank you for sharing your vacation with us, Donna.
