    Savannah is a must see for history buffs who love old colonial style architecture as well as Civil War era monuments.  Forsythe Park is home to old willow trees, a cool fountain, and a Confederate Monument.  Walking around that area, one finds historic brick homes with gas lamps.  The downtown area features a vibrant night life and more historic buildings.  Be sure to get dinner at Lady & Sons, which is Paula Deen's signature restaurant.  River Street is along the Savannah River and has buildings from the colonial era.  A cruise on the Georgia Queen is a nice way to explore the banks of the Savannah River where one can find an old Confederate Fort.  To cool off from the humidity, one should go to Leopold's Ice Cream shop!
