Everson Amazing Race Expedition Part 1

Okay...as promised I wanted to share our road trip to north Georgia. My hubby, myself and my SNL planned this trip about 2 weeks before we decided on a date. We had a few things in mind in what we wanted to do, which included white water rafting and tubing and possibly zip lining.

Our first stop was to stay in Savannah, Georgia. I am originally from Savannah and lived there 19 years before moving to Florida so we stopped to visit family. Before we arrived in Savannah, we stopped in Darien, Ga. to eat lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. It's about 5 minutes off the I-95 and well worth it. They are known for their seafood so anything seafood is highly recommended and I would recommend the fried zucchini fries. There are two parts to the restaurant. On the right is the Oyster Bar and on the left is Skipper's Fish Camp. Skipper's is our favorite. It is right on the river where the shrimp boats are docked. They also have an outdoor deck where you can play cornhole or just lounge and relax.

We arrived in Savannah around dinner time due to stopping for stretch break in Jaxsonville, lunch, and it raining off and on. My aunt was nice enough to cook us a nice Italian dinner with some killer fresh garlic bread. The next day we went to River Street and had lunch at Spanky's before walking through many shops. We had to stop at River Street Sweets so hubby could get him some salt water taffy and I found my sign that defines the south in one of the shops here. He hubby loves his salt water taffy. It was packed with tourist so I did not get many pictures but I did snap these.

Most of the people were in shops or had boarded the tour buses when I took this photo. Next stop...Dillard, Ga.
