Our recent trip to Savannah, Georgia, was nothing short of magical. Traveling with my husband, Richard, and son’s Paxton and Josh, we set out for our first exploration of this charming Southern city. From its historic cobblestone streets to its vibrant art scene, Savannah captured our hearts in ways we didn’t expect.
A Stay to Remember at the JW Marriott
Our home base for the trip was the stunning JW Marriott, located on the riverfront. This hotel is a visual masterpiece, with an extraordinary collection of artifacts that made my designer’s heart skip a beat. My family knew how much I’d love the nautical and island-inspired pieces displayed throughout the hotel, and they were right. Every corner offered something new to admire, making the hotel itself an attraction.

“This captivating painting at the JW Marriott felt like a glimpse into a dramatic, sun-soaked tale of the islands.”
Savoring Savannah’s Culinary Delights
Food lovers rejoice—Savannah knows how to deliver! One of the highlights of our culinary adventure was Huey’s, a delightful spot serving Southern favorites with a view of the bustling riverfront. From hearty dishes to refreshing beverages, every bite was a treat. The city’s boardwalk, filled with energy and charm, was the perfect place to stroll after our meals.
Exploring the City’s History and Real Estate
Savannah’s cobblestone roads tell stories of the past and walking them was like stepping back in time. We couldn’t resist exploring the local real estate market during our stay, marveling at the beautiful historic homes that line the picturesque streets. The idea of owning a piece of Savannah’s charm is certainly tempting.

Making New Friends
A special part of our trip was meeting an incredible family—Simone and Mrs. Maxine, her lovely mother. Their warmth and kindness added a personal touch to our journey, reminding us of the connections that make travel so meaningful.
A Celebration of Art and Nature
Savannah’s artistic spirit is alive and well, as we discovered at the local galleries featuring works by Alex Batiste and Myers, among others. These creative spaces offered endless inspiration. The city’s parks, lush with greenery and shaded by iconic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, provided a serene escape from the lively streets.
