Weekending...

For those planning a weekend trip to Savannah, try to make it a "first Friday" so you can start your weekend with a BANG at the Westin Savannah Harbor:

The Westin Savannah Harbor hosts a riverside evening celebration with live music, libations (full bar), and great food, at our relaxed resort setting. Fresh succulent oysters from the cool New England waters, lowcountry boil, tasty grill items, a full bar and s'mores by the firepit satisfy the young and old, as well as landlubbers and seafarers alike. Catch the complimentary water ferry from River Street or take advantage of easy parking at the resort, validated with purchase. Buckets of oysters, a bar and a band - a great way to jump start the weekend!

Did I mention the fireworks? Even if you don't make it to the Westin, you could enjoy the fireworks from River Street ... sitting at one of the restaurants ... or sit along the river, enjoying a breeze!

Speaking of River Street ... as you walk along enjoying the sights, smells, sounds of the walk, avoiding cars driving on the cobblestone ... pop into some of the shops to get a break from the heat. If you like jewelry, I suggest Cassandra's Jewelry Imports! she has a variety of jewelry, eclectic accessories from costume to fine. If your sales associate seems non-responsive however, double check that it's not one of the store mannequins ...
