That post about our trip to Savannah, GA!!
The first day we checked in to the hotel and mentioned it was our first kid free trip since having kids and they happily upgraded us to a suite! We went for a walk around the squares and decided to eat dinner. Thomas found a magazine with a restaurant guide and he wanted to try one of the local places out. So that first night we ate a candlelit dinner at 17 hundred 90 Restaurant and Inn. It was so good, and I wished I had taken pictures of the inside and outside of this place!! Of course, it's supposed to very haunted! Rest easy, friends, we saw no ghosts, not even the one of poor Anna, who threw herself from the top story of the inn window, in despair over lost love. The current building is only a couple of stories high so I assume the original inn, which burned years ago, was taller? Anyway, the funny story there was, it was totally a romantic place. The piano player was playing, the room was extremely dim, lit only by candles on the few tables they have scattered about the room. All of the sudden there was blinding light to our right. The hostess put us in a corner and the table, in the center of the room, had four older people reading the menu. Apparently, it was too dim for them to see so they pulled out their large led flashlight! We kept laughing all night about how funny they were. They were telling old war stories and they unknowingly entertained us as well! Anyway, dinner was excellent and so was the gluten free dessert they offered! We walked all around the squares. Thomas loved the Spanish moss and all of the ferns growing in nooks and corners of the Live Oak trees.
That evening we did a ghost tour by carriage!! That was a fun way to see the city and hear some local stories and histories. After we went there we ate at Leopold's. Oh my. They make their own ice cream and their own sauces! We ate there twice. The first time I had a hot fudge sundae, which was incredible. The second time we went I wanted to try some ice cream that I could only get there. So I had a double scoop bowl containing, Chocolate Raspberry Swirl and Honey Almond. PEOPLE!!!!! The Honey Almond is probably the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!!!!! My taste buds were dancing and singing the Hallelujah Chorus!! At some point in the day we went to Savannah Bee Company. Our friends said we would love it and we did!! I tried about 20 types of honey. I was in love with all forms of honey on this trip!! We also visited a catholic church while we were in Savannah. We aren't catholic but this building is so beautiful I had to photograph it. I felt bad about photographing inside but the lady in charge of tourism assured us it was ok.
The next day we had to leave. Sad sad sad. We went to Bonaventure Cemetery that morning. Have you ever been there? Apparently, over one hundred years ago families would mourn their loved ones by commissioning statues of them. Some of these are of the actual deceased (from paintings I suppose) and some of them are of angels or one was even a giant statue of Jesus. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! My two favorites were of the actual deceased. One was a woman and one was a child named, Gracie. Both were so sad to see.
