A Savannah Romance

Description:

Savannah is the perfect romantic getaway spot for the weekend if you enjoy a quaint town with unmatched Southern hospitality. The town has retained much of its colonial flavor, and boasts some gorgeous architecture as the city was built around 29 or so squares. Savannah is the perfect place to escape if you want to lounge in Victorian style inns and carriage houses, enjoy delicious food and stroll along picturesque streets. Stay at the Ballastone Inn or the Marshall House for a taste of true Southern elegance in historic surroundings. Take a riverboat cruise to see Savannah from the water. Enjoy award winning cuisine in elegant decor at 700 Drayton and the many fine dining establishments Savannah has to offer. You'll find the problem isn't finding a restaurant, but deciding which one to spend one of your precious nights at. Stop by the Chart House for a drink and relaxing views of the river or check out the jazz often in the upstairs of 700 Drayton. Stroll through the cobblestone streets at night and wonder what love would have been like in the 1800s. After this weekend, you'll be itching for the next time you can enjoy some Southern hospitality.
