A couple of them I have been to and the others are definitely on my bucket list!
- Savannah, Georgia
- Aspen, Colorado
- Sedona, Arizona

Savannah, Georgia
We visited Savannah, Georgia in December between Christmas and New Years while the houses and the downtown square were still decorated for the holidays. It was like walking in a town in a Hallmark movie. The weather was great to walk around in the town.
Savannah, Georgia is known for it’s architecture through the town and through the public squares. There are huge moss draped trees on each side of the street that touch in the middle that shield you from the sun. A great place to go look around in the historic district is Forsyth Park. The entrance to the park is breathtaking and we were surprised to see the filming spot from Forrest Gump. It was the scene where Forrest Gump was waiting for the bus. The actual bench which was a movie prop is in the Savannah Historic Museum.
A must see visit in Savannah, Georgia is the American Prohibition Museum. Whether you are a drinker or not, it is a fascinating place with a live speakeasy to enjoy a few drinks.
