Month 2 in Savannah

Sorry it's been so long!  Finally time for an update after way to many weeks of procrastinating (so sorry we're back for good this time)!
Lots has happened since our last update.  For starters we had 4 of our favorite people come to visit us: Becca's mom, her sister-in-law Ashley, Kenzie's mom and Kenzie's moms best friend Janeen!  They came at different times for a week straight which made for one of our funniest weeks in Savannah.
Becca's mom came here first.  We guided them all across Savannah showing them our favorite places.  We went on a ghost tour together (before you get too excited it wasn't actually scary, more telling stories of people in Savannah's past).

Waving Lady :)

Our favorite part was probably eating at Mrs. Wilk's boarding house, aka the BEST FOOD EVER!  Here's how it works: the place is only open M-F from 11am-2pm.  People start lining up at the door at 10 and by 10:30 the line wraps around the entire street.  It's nuts!  They seat you 10 to a table, so usually with a couple groups of people you don't know.  They have all this food ready for you family style.  Every classic southern food you could imagine cooked to perfection: fried chicken, mac&cheese (considered an essential vegetable), beef stew, mashed potatoes, green beans etc etc!  To top it all off they also provide dessert, banana pudding or peach cobbler.  It is definitely worth the wait even if you end up waiting in line until 1pm!  Seeing Becca's mom made us feel like we were at home again it was wonderful!

Beccca's mom left wednesday morning and wednesday night Kenzie's mom & Janeen arrived!  We were walking down Bay Street to meet them at their hotel (one thing to keep in mind about Savannah: on a daily basis while walking down the street we get honked at, shouted at, or anything you could really think of all within a matter of minutes) when a black SUV started whistling and shouting at us from up the street.  Becca shouted back warning these female voices that they probably shouldn't be acting drunk because there was a large cluster of cops up the road ready to pull them over.  Kenzie commented that it was the first time while in Savannah that we had been harassed by females.  Much to our surprise we then heard the female voices shout: "Hello? It's your mother!" We all cracked up laughing and met down the street.  It was by far the funniest reunion possible!
While Kenzie's mom and Janeen were here we had quite the adventures!  We did our fair share of shopping for starters (in other words we did WAY too much shopping and had WAY too much fun but we all came out on top with the worlds cutest clothes and jewelry).  We celebrated Kenzie's birthday (July 1st) with Mrs. Wilk's boarding house, fantastic pedicures & manicures, more shopping and fun movies.  We went on the most beautiful drive to Hilton Head, South Carolina.  Hilton Head is a beach about 40 minutes from our apartment, although with the July 4th traffic it seemed like an eternity.  We hung out at the beach catching live star fish and sand dollars.  The water was the perfect temperature and to top it off we had the best pizza of our lives, chicken ceaser salad pizza from flat bread.  There is something about the food in South Carolina and Savannah.  Its just plain amazing!

Mrs. Wilk's mouthwatering food!

the girls!

One funny story from their visit.  We stayed in their hotel room with them and the last night that they were here we were all watching Water for Elephants in our room (which by the way is a great movie and we highly, highly recommend it). We started watching it pretty late so Kenzie and I fell asleep shortly after it started.  At 1:30 in the morning we were startled awake by the loudest most wretched noise possible.  The fire alarm was going off!  We were all extremely confused.  We rushed outside with a sea of confused people.  From the curb we could see some people looking out their windows confused as if they weren't aware that the loud noises meant evacuate the building.  Turns out there was just a loose valve on the 6th floor.  Nothing too exciting despite all of the action.

Goodbyes were hard but it was worth it since we got to see our families.  It was weird having them here it felt like we were on vacation instead of living here for the summer.  We didn't have to work much while our visitors were here which made going back to work even harder but we've finally gotten back into our old routine and are ready to enjoy our last month in Savannah!

P.S. We decided to make some crafts while in Savannah that we will put in our apartments in the fall since we will no longer be roommates (so so so so sad!!) Here's a sneak peak at our first project, keep in mind we have had a joke for years of calling each other Marco&Polo.

Love it!
