Fort Stewart, GA Resources and Information

It's been a long, hard week. Who knew moving took THIS much effort? I guess that's what you get for rooting a house and a business in a community for five years. That's the longest we've ever been anywhere. Whew! It's not the stuff either- it's the PEOPLE! I love this town. If you ever get a chance to be at Fort Stewart check out Richmond Hill. It's about 30 min from post, about 30 min from Savannah. I know it's a drive from Hinesville (the town outside of post) but it's worth it! There is so much to do around here just in this little town. Then you have Savannah to boot!

Here in town you have everything you need - they have a Kroger and Publix (who has KILLER sub sandwiches). They have little restaurants like Tequila's Sunset, Beef O'Bradys, Richmond Hill Cafe, Hill of Beans, Shoguns, Mollie McPhersons and many more! RHill has EXCELLENT SCHOOLS and great little neighborhoods. They have great resources too - like doctors, dentists, hairstylists, gyms, etc. Awesome summertime and winter events that take place at the park. You can't miss the hometown Christmas Parade & The Seafood Festival! It's just an all around great place to live.

Here are some places you need to know about that all come HIGHLY recommended by me:

And then there is Savannah - a whole SLEW of things to do. My first recommendation to you here is to make sure that you go on a TROLLEY TOUR of the city even if you do live here. The trolley offers a military discount AND you can do the one that lets you get off and on. This gets you ahead of the game when you have guests and you learn about your area.

Be sure you check out Blue Moon Brewing Company, Savannah Smiles, Vinny Van GoGo's pizza, City Market, and of course RIVER STREET (where you can find awesome candy at Savannah Sweets!) Of course I'd be remiss not to mention Paula Deen's restaurant but you'll find that one won't you?

And you can also travel down to Disney which is only 4 hours away, you have Jekyll Island, GA which allows pets on the beach, Tybee Island which is about 1 hour away towards Savannah, you have Hilton Head Island about 1.5 hours away where you can SHOP the outlets and do ALL SORTS OF BEACH activities!

And the DUH moment - this is ALL not even covered in your MWR packet for things to do at Fort Stewart - which there are many! Never a dull moment here. It's a great place to be. Then again, when you're here your hubby probably won't be home b/c of the ride on the "Marne Express" being trained, deployed etc. But, at least you won't be bored while he's gone!! You've got plenty to do!

--- Goodbye little Richmond Hill/Savannah/Fort Stewart - this little family will miss you!!! ---
