A Memorable Weekend Getaway β€” Savannah Style #8


We made it to another destination this past weekend β€” and YES, it was magical!
My husband completely surprised me with a trip back to one of our favorite places: Savannah, Georgia.

If you’ve ever been, you know the vibe β€” slow, romantic, full of charm. And if you haven’t? Put it on your bucket list. I honestly don’t know anyone who’s been and hasn’t fallen in love with it.


The Journey Begins

The drive up was peaceful β€” a mix of quiet moments and spontaneous laughter. If anything played in the background, it was usually a comedy skit or something random from the History Channel. (because… balance, right?).

Check-in wasn’t until 5 p.m. (which felt way too late β€” seriously, five hours after check-out??), but we didn’t let it steal our joy.


Balcony Goals: Hyatt for the Win

We stayed at the Hyatt, and let me just say… we scored.

We secured one of only four balconies. We also landed a corner room overlooking both the water and the city. It. Was. STUNNING.

After an early check-in (bless!) and a little waiting around, we finally settled in. I snapped one of my favorite pictures ever right on the waterfront. Peaceful, beautiful, soul-filling.

Exploring, Selfies & Pong Battles

The next morning was all about exploring, snapping photos, and making memories.
Yes, we took a selfie with the town behind us. My husband is apparently secretly a selfie king. πŸ˜‚

After some laughs and a spontaneous round of pong (which I won, thank you very much!), we got ready for a stroll around the city.

Okay, full honesty: he usually beats me in pong β€” like five out of six games. I rarely take a series win when we play best of seven, so this one felt extra sweet.


🍽Good Vibes, Great Drinks, and a Spooky Surprise

Finding the right spot to eat is always a bit of an adventure for me. (I’m big on aesthetics β€” I admit it!). We wandered around and soaked up the sights. Eventually, we found a cozy little bar with great food. The vibes were comfy and the drinks were well-earned.

And wouldn’t you know β€” the escape room was just around the corner! Fate, much?


The Escape Room β€” Just the Two of Us

If you’ve been following along, you already know we’re all about the scary-themed escape rooms. This one didn’t disappoint.

It was just the two of us, the stakes were high… and WE WON! πŸŽ‰
No extra help, no lucky breaks β€” just teamwork, brainpower, and probably a little adrenaline.

🧳 Still Soaking It All In

This weekend was unexpected, simple, and so full of heart.

I’m endlessly grateful for these moments. For the laughter. For the escape rooms. For love that keeps surprising me. πŸ’—
