Part 2 of the fantastic Savannah road trip!! Where were we? 

Saturday of our weekend getaway, well , our host was awesome enough to take us to a local fave "The Breakfast Place" . It was delicious Waffle House style food, but better. 

After a scrumptious breakfast we made our first stop at the Historic Wormsloe Plantation, home to the famous and iconic oak lined avenue. Such a beautiful scene to take in. It is told that around 1893 400 Live Oak trees were planted in honor of a baby boy born to the very wealthy family, however it is speculated that it was done predominately to showcase their wealth. Either way I am so glad they created this magnificent view. This particular site dates back to colonial days . Noble Jones began building the tabby house in 1737 overlooking a major water route that ran past his property. The history surrounding the estate is phenomenal. The Jones descendants kept the property in the family till 1973 when the family donated 822 Acres to the Nature Conservancy, which then sold the property to Georgia. It is now a State Historic site with many walking trails and a golf cart riding tour. There is a parcel of land that was the 1828 plantation and dairy Site still occupied by descendants of Noble Jones.

 

Here are a few photos of my visit to the State Historic Site:  Wormsloe Historic SiteA beautiful visit to the colonial plantation Wormsloe. This is a must see for history and nature buffs!

After our visit to Wormsloe we drove around scouting for the perfect location for our photo shoot. We happened upon a beautiful street that on ones side flanked the river and the other were gorgeous antebellum styled homes. Some were older and others had been rebuilt but continued with the same architecture . It was a breath taking view driving down this street.
