CONTINUED FROM PART 1…
The first place we walked to was Forsyth Park. The park was created in the 1840s and has the most famous fountain in Savannah (see picture above). We let the kids release some energy and play at the playscapes and run around on the huge lawns. The parks resemble Central Park in New York mixed with Paris, France. Very gorgeous! If we were kidless, we would have walked through the park all night.
After the park, we walked down to River Street, which is a beautiful cobblestone walkway along the Savannah River. They have bars, shops, restaurants, and candy shops that are rich with history and delicious treats. They have an elevator that can get you down to River Street, which can be found to the right of the Hyatt Regency and behind the Savannah City Hall. The elevator is slightly hidden, so keep your eyes peeled. Otherwise, you will need to take one of the many long staircases to reach River Street.
Last, but certainly not least, was our experience with the local police. Zach had read many reviews that said that RVs could park overnight at the Savannah Visitor’s Center. When we got there however, this was no longer the case. Not only were the RV spots not large enough for our 36’ travel trailer, but the rules had changed. We didn’t have a plan B for a place to stay for the night, so we decided to risk it and see if we would get kicked out. The Savannah Vistor’s Center was closed due to Covid, so we thought there wouldn’t be any security lurking around. Boy were we wrong!
At about 1:30am, while everyone was sleeping, we got awoken by a police siren and flashing lights. The officer told us we couldn’t stay. Boo! We pulled all the sleeping kids out of the RV and packed back up. I think the officer felt terrible when he saw us dragging our three sleeping kids out and he left. We ended up driving 3 hours in the middle of the night until we came to a rest stop and got a few hours of sleep before the kids woke up. We were so tired and chalked it up to a learning experience.
Although our overnight plans didn’t work out, we would *HIGHLY* recommend visiting Savannah for a weekend, a week, or 24 hours. We hope you get the opportunity to visit. If you do, please let us know how you liked it and what was your favorite/least favorite thing about Savannah!
