Trips with friends are always a memorable experience. I’ve been fortunate to do several over the years with my lifelong best friend, Darla. We’ve done the San Francisco area, including Muir Woods. We also took our girls on a trip to New York a few years ago, and this time around we are heading to the Savannah Food & Wine Festival.
It seems to be the Fall Festival season, after covering the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival a few weeks ago, I can’t help but have the festival bug. Trying new food and drinks is fun, but to do it in a town like Savannah with your best friend, that is something that can’t be beaten. As I finish packing up and head to cooler weather later today, take a look at what you can expect as you follow us along on our next road trip.
