McKenzie and I then went to Savannah Georgia, a gorgeous city filled with beautiful vegetation.

We stayed in the Planter's Inn which is in the middle of the Historic District in Savannah. It was a wonderful and cozy place to stay. Our room even had a balcony that overlooked the city. The town has so many historic buildings and there are colorful flowers everywhere (http://www.plantersinnsavannah.com/hotel-info/).

McKenzie and I decided to explore the historic district in the city and go to all the amazing shops along the river. Throughout the historic district lie beautiful areas of greenery throughout the entire city. These squares are used to separate the different parts of the city and to show the memorials placed in the center of many. One of the larger squares had a huge fountain. It was amazing. When we were there, it was very sunny and it made the water glow. There were many shops along the river in Savannah. These shops were located in older buildings surrounded by cobblestone paths. There a various restaurants, vendors, and one of the best shops of all, the many candy stores throughout the area. These shops contained the most candy you will ever see in your entire life. I saw many people wandering around. One local had set out his paintings for people to view near the river; I believe he was selling them. I also saw locals making flowers out of  corn stalks. The people living there were very southern and kind to one another and the visitors of their city. While we were there, we took a walking tour of the city and we took a lot of pictures of awesome things we saw. While we were in this area, we mainly walked throughout the city and then we took taxis if we needed to get somewhere that was farther away. Walking made it a lot easier for shorter distances and a lot more fun, although it took a little longer than a taxi would. A taxi allowed us to get where we wanted quickly. But it also cost us where walking would cost us nothing. The taxi rides cost about $5 each. While we were in the historic district we went to this delicious restaurant by the river called Boar's Head Grill and Tavern. I had the shrimp alfredo which was delicious and McKenzie had the bacon wrapped shrimp with scallops. Their seafood was wonderful!
