Trip to Savannah...

Even though Savannah is only 4.5 hours away we've never been and decided to take a quick trip over the Labor day weekend. We stayed at the 17Hundred90 Inn and restaurant "one of the oldest in Savannah". Our room was decked out with furnishings from the time period. Ours was called the Lincoln Suite and hosted a variety of drawings and portraits of the late president. It was on the 3rd floor and as you might guess, there were no elevators in 1790. A pack and play gets pretty cumbersome at about the 4th flight of stairs. The room was really neat, the doors to the room had really nice stain glass transoms and the wood floors were original. It rained the whole time we were there and you might also guess what happens to a roof that was built in 1790, yep "it leaks". Luckily for us it was only leaking in the parlor so it wasn't that big of an inconvenience......We paid for an experience and they gave us one"!!......On to brighter things, the city is very beautiful and historic I would definitely recommend it. If you want to stay in the historic area look around there are lots of old mansions that have been turned into Inns. If you are looking for something a little more modern try the Westin. Its very plush and the Ferry takes you back and forth across the river to go the river walk shopping/dining. There are many tours available and lots of sites, a great place to spend a romantic weekend.
