My husband (Matt) and I went to Savannah, GA this past weekend. I have had all sorts of crazy-mad stress going on for some time now and I just needed to get out from my little (but very LARGE) town. We stayed at a quaint little Inn called 17hundred90. I had heard that this place was “haunted” but had never stayed at the Inn or eaten at their restaurant. The legend goes something like – A young girl named Anna met a young German soldier (Hans) and they fell in love. He offered her his hand in marriage and she accepted. She was visiting from England and decided to stay at 17hundred90. Later that week, Anna found Hans wooing another woman. Anna was so distraught that the following night she threw herself out of the 3rd story window and died. She was staying in room 204 (which is on the 3rd floor). Supposedly the building is haunted and all sorts of patrons have reported numerous encounters and oddities. I think every “ghost-finder” type show has been there. I wasn't too fussed about all the ghost stuff - but there were groups of people gathered outside of the Inn during the night time. I pulled back one of the curtains and stuck my face out and they all screamed. And then they all laughed hysterically. Matt and I couldn't stop laughing.
We did hop on one of those trolley tours, Old Savannah Tours. Was it worth the $52 - ehhh. I wish we would of just gone on the Oglethorpe Tours - it would have only been $30. Matt had never been to Savannah, so it was nice for him to hear the history and all that jazz.
The most fun, interesting, and edeucational activity was going on the Capturing Savannah Tour. This is an a unique tour that is only offered by Pablo and Brit. They are a young couple who are professional photographers. They walk you around Savannah and help you with your DSLR camera. We already knew the basics - so we were able to dive right in within 5 minutes of meeting each other. We got some great tips and some great pics (cheese OVERLOAD). If you are into photography and you plan on visiting Savannah - check them out!!
All in all, it was a great trip. There was a serious lack of the relaxation that I was hoping had hoped for - but it was still gratifying.
