So Anthony and I drove up to the Savannah are to visit my father this past weekend. The drive up there was hell because the directions I got off the computer sucked and it ended up taking way longer than we'd planned. We finally arrived and got the grand tour from dad. Their house is absolutely monsterous. They have a huge front yard, a huge back yard, and a lake in the back too. It was cool.We ate very well there too. Beth made what they called crackhead soup one night. They call it that because its a real crowd pleaser. Every one loves it and you can't stop eating it. It's addictive. It was sooooooo good. We liked it so much I got the recipe so I can make it too. We also had fabulous lasagna which I also got the recipe for. Most excellent. Also for breakfast dad made a most delicious dish that I will definetly be making again. It was crunchy peanut butter, nutella, and bananas warmed in a flour tortilla. Wow.
It didn't take long for the boys to warm up to us once we got there. We got lots of hugs and kisses and "I love you"'s. I believe dad and Anthony have become best friends now too. They discovered they were into the same things like boxing, working out, and lifting weights. Dad showed Anthony all kinds of new stuff and Anthony had a blast learning from him.
We got to play with their new Wii. We played A LOT. Golf, tennis, bowling, boxing, and baseball. All very fun. It's a great way to excercise because you get caught up in it and you can go for hours. You don't even realize how much you've done until the next day when it hurts. They invited some friends over and we played Wii golf for a while, then we all sat down and played Partini and Cranium. We had a lot of fun. It was cool because anthony and I had never played either before. At first I was uncomfortable and embarassed because some of the questions I was clueless about. For example, I picked a card where I had to hum something to try to get my team to guess what was on the card. The card I got said "Axle Rose". I was thinking "what is that? It says the category is "celebrity" so that means its a person? who in the world?" I had'nt the slightest clue. Beth took me in the kitchen to try to explain who it was without anyone hearing and said It was some guy from "Guns & Roses". I was like "who?" She said it was a band and sang snipets from a few songs. I still was clueless so they let me redo my turn. Everyone knows who that is but me! Anyway, I was embarassed and nervous the remainder of the night. We did have a lot of fun though.
Mamita dropped by and we got to visit with her. Patrick and Petra also stopped by with their two kids. It was good to see them again.
Anthony and I went and toured Savannah. I took him to River street and we went into the candy shops that are like Kilwin's (where he works). We went by forsyth park and dad & Beth's old house. We drove slowly down East Broad and Broughton St. and then around the dorms. We visited Alisha and James W.(College pals of mine) and we went to ClubSCAD and let dad show us around. I got to see James G.(an old friend of dad's) right before he had to leave. Anthony and I ate lunch at the Mellow Mushroom then we visited with dad in his office. I wanted to take Anthony to Vinnie Van Go Go's because he's never been and Savannah is the only place that has one (that I know of) but we accidently left the money at dad's house (20 minutes away). Dad was kind to give us money for lunch and we were right there at the mellow mushroom so....there ya go.
We were sad to leave, but ready to go home too. We missed our kitties and mom and our own bed. It was an awesome trip. The perfect amount of time. Everything went great. We're planning to go back in the summer.
