Savannah

It is almost impossible to miss the oak trees and Spanish moss that fill many of Savannah’s beautiful parks.

The historic waterfront is a great place to walk around and pop in and out of shops (many of the shop have an abundance of free samples). Be sure to mind your step on the centuries old staircases and the cobble stone walkways.

Be sure to grab some BBQ and Mac and Cheese at Sandfly BBQ.

We grabbed lunch at Zunzi’s—a South African spot with awesome pita wraps. Zunzi’s is a tiny counter-serve eatery with a great patio (with plenty of seating). The South African tea is a must try—and free refills!

Since it was Easter, we did pop into church for a beautiful service at the First African Baptiste Church which was constituted in 1777.

We took an Uber to the historical site of Wormsloe. It was $10 per person and you will surely get your fill of Spanish moss. There are also historical grave sites, nature trails and a picturesque marsh.

Back to food, we stopped for a slice of delicious thin crust pizza at Vinnie Van GoGo’s. They have a great outdoor patio and HUGE slices of pizza. Be mindful they are cash only!

Post pizza, we of course needed some dessert. What better place than Better Than Sex Dessert Restaurant.

Time to head to the Guest Ranch in Madison, GA. We stopped at Maebob’s Diner for some delicious biscuit and grits on the way!

Southern Cross Guest Ranch is truly magical. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. You can ride the horses twice a day and they allow you a ton of freedom. You can either keep the same horse the entire time or switch it up. You are responsible for dressing your own horse (they of course teach you).

The house and rooms were very cozy and felt like we were staying at a relatives house! There were three homemade meals a day (buffet style) and also snacks and tea available in between meals. The iced tea was SO good.

I kept my same horse the whole time-Troy. We really formed a bond (at least I thought so)!

On the morning before we drove to the airport, we stopped in Downtown Madison for a slice of yummy pecan pie at a local coffee shop. Yes, pecan pie for breakfast :)
