    If you're looking to try something a little different, but still be part of the action on River Street, check out the Bohemian Hotel. Part of the Autograph Collection of boutique hotels by Richard Kessler, its gothic style fits the haunted reputation of the Hostess city of the South. Rocks on the Roof, the hotel's rooftop bar, has become one of the hottest spots in town. Alternately, if you're looking for a resort-style hotel, the Westin Savannah has all the amenities. Have drinks poolside, let the kids play in the splash zone, and make smores by the outdoor fire pit, all while enjoying views of River Street from Hutchinson Island across the river. There are free ferries that run about every half hour to shuttle you from the hotel to the River Walk. Bonus: if you find yourself there the first Friday of the month, enjoy a low country oyster roast, live music, and full bar by the riverside. Oh, and fireworks.

    There's plenty to do! Take a ghost tour in a hearse, enjoy a cold one while strolling River Street, marvel at the enormity of the container ships traversing the river, daytrip to Tybee Island, take the kids to the Forsyth Park playgrounds, and let the kids run through the brand new fountain at City Market (bring towels!). If you want to lodge near the water, the Hyatt Regency provides convenient direct elevator access to River St. The Marriot Riverfront provides great river views also. With a family of five, we always try to get upgraded to a suite. The extra room will be appreciated.

    I don't believe there are any Mardi Gras celebrations in Savannah, Sue (St. Paddy's Day in March is the big one here). Perhaps you are thinking of the Mardi Gras festivities on Tybee Island, which start today. More info here: http://mardigrastybee.com/. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

    My mother and father both being from quaint small towns in the carolinas and being a home owner to some beach homes in the Grand Strand area, as well as being an civil war historian and in love with Savanah's mystery and history, I would absolutely love to for Miss Amy Sovine to wed myself Paul Haynesworth Robison in Savanah's state park. Any place in Savanah would no doubt be wonderful.
