Sweet Savannah Weekend with My Honey and Honeys

It was a sweet weekend.

I took my honey to Savannah for her birthday weekend and we tried a lot of honeys and sweets.

First was the Two Women & A Cookie bakery, where we got a dozen cookies to take with us, and had a cookie each there on the premises.  We got of virtually every kind they made. I was determined  to leave no cookie type behind.

Then later that night we ate an Italian restaurant and then went on a ghost tour.

The Ghost tour was more about magic tricks than scares.  If you have young family members, or just don't want to be scared silly, I highly recommend this tour.  The magic tricks that were done were entertaining and mystifying,  and I'm still not quite sure how they were done.

After the tour, we went to Leopold's, an ice creamery that has been a central part of downtown Savannah for almost one hundred years.  Ir was very popular, and we waited in a long line extending down the block.  I had HONEY Almond Cream.

The next day we toured downtown Savannah, starting with Chocolat by Adam Turoni, where I had a delicious chocolate square sweetened with HONEY.

Our next stop was the Savannah Bee Company, where I sampled NINE different types of HONEY. only to discover that the type that I preferred was ALL OF THEM.  We got three jars to take home.  Picking the three to take involved blindfolds and spinning.  Just kidding.  Sort of.

Later, after braving an intense storm, we hydroplaned our way to Whole Foods, where we got cupcakes to celebrate Alison's birthday.

That night, we went back to Downtown Savannah, and ate a great Greek restaurant.  The food was fantastic, with some of the best hummus we've ever had, but the service was slow.  They compensated by giving us free dessert...Baklava, a delicious pastry made with layers of filo mixed with chopped nuts and generously sweetened with HONEY.

We were not alone for most of our tour.  She had a pair of friends show us around, one of whom worked for the Savannah paper and had experience with Savannah tourism.  He had also discovered, just a couple of days before we arrived, that he was diabetic.

Given that, our sweet tour could be considered a tremendous act of selfless generosity, or a Last Hurrah.

Either way, they were great friends and kind hosts, and Alison and I had a wonderful, sweet time.
