So about a month before good old Valentine's Day David told me that he had a surprise for me. He asked if I wanted it then, or if I preferred to wait until V-Day? I told him that if he bought it for Valentine's Day then I would wait until Valentine's Day. I have a remarkable amount of self-control when it comes to getting gifts, but only a teeny tiny bit when it comes to giving gifts. Apparently my Mr. has the same amount of gift-giving self-control, because about 20 minutes later, as he sat next to me on the couch, he told me to check my email. What a goof! I opened my email as he sat next to me grinning like a mischievous child and there was a confirmation from Travelosity for a trip to Savannah. He had booked us a 4 day stay in a B&B across from Forsyth Park.
I have wanted to go to Savannah for years, ever since I read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It was everything I imagined it to be. The B&B was lovely. It had a wonderful porch where we could sit outside and watch the park traffic go by. The breakfasts, snacks, and desserts were delicious. The 26 acre park across the street had these beautiful azaleas lining the sidewalks and a beautiful fountain right in the middle.
Here is our B&B. It's called Forsyth Park Inn. It's a sprawling 9000 sq. foot home that is haunted according to the two gentlemen that work there. Now, I don't believe in any of that kind of thing, but I still wish they hadn't of told us that. Here is a link to the Inn:
It was the most perfect relaxing place.
We sat out on the porch reading and rocking in the rocking chairs.
We walked in the park and took the trolley all over the historic district.
We even went to the beach one day...but it was freezing and so windy outside so we didn't stay.
What a lucky girl I am to be married to someone so thoughtful and surprising. If you ever get a chance...Savannah in springtime is magical!
