Our Summer Trip To Savannah

 We made yet another trip to Savannah, Georgia in the summertime (we had taken Bri twice to Savannah before in 2012 and in 2015, both times to enjoy the week of July 4th), but this visit was quite different.

Doug and I didn't spend the week with Briana, and this time, we were all in Savannah the week before July 4th. Bri attended a week long camp/workshop at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Since Doug and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in May, we decided to spend the week - just the two of us - celebrating our belated anniversary in Savannah while Bri was attending camp. We were right down the street from the SCAD campus on River Street, so in case she needed us for any reason, we would be close by (she never did of course).

 It was pretty appropriate for me and Doug to be in Savannah on our 25th anniversary because we had spent our very 1st wedding anniversary in Savannah as well. Gosh, how young we look...

As crazy hot at the temperatures had been in GA in mid-June, temps were SO much better that week. Still warm but not oppressive. It was breezy on the river, which was so nice. And because we were visiting the week before July 4th, it was much less crowded than during July 4th week. We got a pop up rain shower here and there, but otherwise, it was a great weather week.

Briana had a terrific time at her camp, and Doug and I really enjoyed our time in Savannah.

We spent a lot of time on River Street, but we spent more time exploring the historic district than we had in years past...

Doug and I had (still have) some personal things going on in our lives (both sad and stressful), so this bittersweet trip was a much welcomed distraction for both of us. Despite what life "stuff" we had going on, we really did have a very nice time in Savannah. It was a wonderful trip. And Briana had a great experience which made it even better.

So my next number of posts will be all about our Savannah adventure. Hope you enjoy!
