Take the historic Savannah hop-on/hop-off trolley tour. Walk along the riverfront and check out the shops. If you have a car, run over to Tybee Island one afternoon, visit the lighthouse and have some seafood.

Even if you or your mother weren't Girl Scouts--tour the Juliette Low House--some stairs, but very interesting (the trolley stops there).

Trolley tour is best, hop on and off wherever you want. You can also get package price to buy the riverboat tour as well.

Consider taking a ghost tour/walk. It's an interesting way to learn about the oldest city in GA.

Take a tour of the Williams/Mercer house. Or, take a tour of any of the famous mansions there.

I really enjoyed the tour of the Owens-Thomas house on Oglethorpe square. It's owned by the Telfair Museum which is also worth visiting. http://www.telfair.org/buildings/buildings_default.asp

They have tours on horse drawn carriages which might be nice.
We loved the Telfair Museum and the bookshops on the squares.
Have dinner at the Olde Pink House
Get pralines on River Walk..they give free samples but that just gets you hooked faster
