As you reach Grandville the land transforms from the flat suburbs into rolling farm fields and large forests.

If there are any particular topics you … READ MORE

We took a day trip over to Savannah during our vacation. We enjoyed eating at Paula Dean’s Lady and Sons, Shopping and walking the different Squares. The trip was the perfect balance to the days spent at the beach. This was our first shopping stop in downtown Savannah.
