Babymoon in Savannah

Dan & I just returned from our babymoon in Savannah, GA. We had a wonderful time! Savannah is a walking and biking city. When we arrived, we parked the car and never moved it again until it was time to head home. Everything was accessible by walking a comfortable distance. Sidewalks were make of old bricks, and spanish moss draped gracefully from the trees. Creamer saucer magnolias were blooming. While there, we enjoyed the comfort of a local B&B. We shopped, dined out, and enjoyed the people & scenery. One of my favorite places to eat was "The Tea Room". Half the shop was a tea store and the other half was a restaurant. We enjoyed both! The soup of the day was a warm carrot soup, and I'm including a picture here just for you, Dixie! (Inside joke!!!) It was really good. On the plate of goodies that accompanied the mean, there was an edible orchid spinkled with powdered sugar. Dan did not believe me that it was edible, but our waiter confirmed that it was. We both tasted our orchids and were surprised to find the petals crunchy. They had at least 50 teas on the menu to be served either iced or hot, and the food was deliciously unique. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely enjoy making another trip.
