Southern Exploring

Before Nick and I had even decided on a program or school we decided one thing.... we wanted to take advantage of were we ended up. We want to see as much of this country as possible. We want to experience different cultures. So when Nicks first break was approaching we knew we had to do something.  After Nicks mom left we still had a few days before Nick started school again. So we started to explore....

First Stop: Savannah, GA:

Savannah is a lot like Charleston. I feel like Charleston overall is cleaner. But Savannah has more Spanish Moss (which I love). I asked my friend Kynslie who lived in Savannah what all we needed to do to get our Savannah experience. She told us: River Street, Forsyth Park, Zunzis, and a few other things. We decided we would do the other things next time we go to Savannah since its not far from Charleston and Nick might have clinicals there.

We loved everything we did. We walked so much and enjoyed every minute of it.

Forsyth Park 

River Street

The steps were killer

Zunzis

Savannah

Second Stop: Saint Augustine, FL

Nick had always wanted to go to Saint Augustine and check it out. So thats what we did.  It is the oldest continuously occupied European established settlement within the borders of the contiguous United States. We spent 2 days there. I loved all the history of the city. Once again we did a lot of walking... but a lot of relaxing.  We walked around all of historic Saint Augustine. Saw this cute light house. And of course we went to the beach. We brought in the new year with smoothies in our hotel room. It was pretty perfect. 

The City Gates

St. George Street

Last Stop: Beaufort, SC

Beaufort is a smaller but beautiful city. A lot of Forest Gump was filmed there. We walked around historic Beaufort. We found a prime spot by the water to sit and relax. It was such a nice day!
