Visit with family......

This weekend my dad and step-mom came to visit.....

The arrived on Friday and stayed at a hotel two blocks from my apartment. We went to a nice dinner and had an early night. Saturday we headed to the Georgia Aquarium, one of the largest aquarium's in the world. It was pretty awesome. There are a ton of exhibits and a plethora of marine life. First the giant manta-rays, these things were huge and can weigh up to 6000 lbs! Crazy.....and then there are the sharks....I love sharks...whale sharks, sand sharks.....jelly fish, beluga whales and much more....
After the aquarium, we headed over to centennial park to walk around. It was great, cause I got to be a tourist in the city I live in.
I had made dinner reservations at this place by my house that I've always wanted to try, Murphy's. It was great, they actually have a wine shop connected to it and know that some people I know would love it.
Dinner was great and Jim bought us a bottle of wine which was really nice. Of course all i did was eat this weekend!!!
It was a great visit and am glad they came down, of course being around family always makes me a little melancholy....

Savannah, Pub Golf and much more!

Wow, so the last couple of weekends have been EPIC!!!!

First was the trip to Savannah. 14 of us from work rented a beach house in Tybee Island, what a great place. I've realized how much I miss the ocean since being out here, but every now and again I get to experience with such a great group of people.

These 14 people are awesome, I can truly say I've made some awesome friendships from my co-workers.

Friday night was a mellow night for a few of us, who stopped off at the Crab Shack, for some amazing shrimp and crab and then off to the house we rented. Another grouped stopped off in Savannah for dinner and drinks.

The house itself was pretty awesome, three blocks from the beach with a game room of air hockey and ping pong.

Saturday was spent on the beach, playing volleyball, catching some rays, riding the waves and just chillin out. That night, Sean, was planning a shrimp and crab boil.....It was freaking amazing!!!! That night was a bit hectic, with beer pong, flip cup, cranium and just overall silliness. Again love these people.

Sunday, our car went into Savannah to see the city.....ate some southern food and walked around the streets before getting on a trolley to see all the local squares. This town has so much history, that I would love to come back, the architecture of the buildings and houses that surround the square are gorgeous and require more attention then just the afternoon that was dedicated to it.

The week went by and had to plan for pub golf....basically a bar crawl that is similar to a golf game. Again amazing people!!! Did i say I love these guys! I told them that as well after hole 9! It was 9 holes, each hole a different par and a different club. It was played in the neighbor I live in, which is very walkable. 9 bars, with one stop for dinner and ended at a place where we could stay and dance if we chose....which we did! Everyone had a great time and there will be future pub golf tournaments in the future! Thanks to everyone who participated, oh and if you didn't know.....I Love you!


These types of weekends make me realize how lucky I am to be part of something so great! EFD rocks!
