Savannah is beautiful – I went in May for a weekend. I have a friend in ATL so I flew in there and then we drove. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend, but we were able to ride out to Hilton Head too which is also beautiful.

I’m so jealous you’ve been to Savannah!!!! Someday! Someday!
And try to go when it’s not raining 😛 lol. It rained the whole weekend we were there. If you ever go, let me know, I’ll give you restaurant and activity tips! We did a ghost tour off of Groupon that was great.
Hi there!
I came across your site while looking up things to do on a roadtrip between Fort Worth and Austin. We are having a bachelorette party in Austin next weekend, and looking for fun things to do on the way down. I am also a Canadian – having been born in Nova Scotia. Curious whereabouts you live in Texas now?

Hi Julia! I’m so sorry that I’m a little late on getting back to you!! Ah! I hope you were able to visit some great places in Austin (you really can’t go wrong in that city!). I’m currently in the Fort Worth area and have family and Nova Scotia and Quebec! If you still need help with things to do in Texas, please let me know or shoot me an email! ~Diana
