We decided to try our hand at exploring Savannah on our own. We started with the Telfair Academy and the Jepson Center.
This is the Telfair Academy. We completely forgot to take pictures of the Jepson Center. There were quite a few amazing painting and sculptures in this place!
Next, we visited the Owens-Thomas House and got a tour around the only example of English Regency architecture in Savannah (and one of the few in the country).
The colors are a mixture of the remnants of the two colors that the Richardsons and the Owens had painted the residence (gray and a peachy-orange color).
This is the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. A two year renovation was completed in 2000 after amassing the cost of over $12 million dollars. However due to donations and fund raising balls, the church only owes $300,000 today (amazing).
Part of the ceiling.
Looking at the front (sorry about the glare).
The Hamilton-Turner Inn - one of the many "haunted" places in Savannah
I wish there weren't people in this picture, but it's still pretty. This is the fountain in Forsyth Square.
The fountain again.
These were carriages in our square for the movie. The horses had just left for the day.
The house where all the filming took place.
We found an awesome honey shop. Phillip got Tupelo honey (the flower only blooms 8 days a year). He was really excited about this.
My vino tinto...compliments of the owners of the B&B. Phillip tried it, but of course hated it.
