My boyfriend and I went away last weekend to Savannah, Georgia and had such a wonderful time! We arrived on a Thursday night and stayed until Saturday. We felt it was the perfect amount of time to experience all the beautiful things Savannah has to offer.
We stayed in the famous 17hundred90 hotel, mostly known for it's ghostly atmosphere and location right in the center of Savannah's Historic district. Our room was away from the main building in the guest house, which made us feel a little more secluded. They have a beautiful bar and restaurant that makes me hope Hemingway and Fitzgerald had stopped by for a whiskey and a chapter or two.
We did finally decide on a walking haunted tour, Ghost Talk Ghost Walk, and our tour guide was pretty phenomenal. She had a great sense of humor and her stories were captivating.
We spent a lot of time down on River Street walking through shops and people watching. Our favorite restaurant of the trip was a little place called The Cotton Exchange down at the end of River Street. They're crab legs were to die for. We also ate over at Vinnie Van Go Go's for lunch one day- it was alright. Not the best pizza ever, like most say.
We couldn't get over how beautiful the trees were in the city. To think they had been in one place for that long is unbelievable. Over at the Wormsloe Historic Site (picture below) there is a mile and a half driveway lined with 400 live oaks! (Some scenes from Forrest Gump (1994) were filmed there.)
We had such a good time and I can't wait for our next trip! <3
