Does anyone even read this?

I guess I still have catching up to do...That's probably how it will always be, right off the cold presses from yesterday...and in this case a while ago. I think I will summarize a bit more to perhaps speed up my drawing on about my adventures. This is actually code for, 'I don't quite remember a lot of stuff anymore.' Most of my remembering is coming from pictures anyway; a sort of rediscovering what you already knew...or something along those lines. Anyways I see my rambling has continued, am I finished? Is anyone even there? Is this thing on? Are you ready? Here we go...

September 3rd - We all decided to go to the beach. It was actually a date that was postponed from my birthday. The high tide was in and came in even further before we left. My clothes along with some other stuff got wet and I was forced to wear my swimsuit all day. On that note, I will say that I went actually in the ocean and swam alongside Chelsea and her mom. That's big news there because I am not a water kind of guy, but when in Rome....For lunch we went to Uncle Bubba's Oyster House and I got chicken. Uncle Bubba is Paula Deen's brother. the food was good, the service was very slow and the atmosphere was I guess I would say weird. We were supposed to go to a pizza place called Basil's but it was closed due to Labor Day. For dinner, Chelsea and I made dinner for our families and had our first home cooked meal in our house. Trying to think of anything else...I got nothing.

September 4th - All the pictures say is we went to the Pirate House. Chelsea has informed me that we went to J Christopher's for breakfast with Nicky. Delicious. The Pirate House is the oldest building in Savannah and is a cheesy restaurant that has a talking robotic pirate in the front. I am not lying about the robot pirate. For some reason that reminds me of whaler's on the moon that carry harpoons...moving on. They also have a Jack Sparrow guy walking around and bothering innocent tables. The actor was fun at first then just annoying toward the end of the meal. It was interesting and well interesting.

September 5th - My parents left this day and I was quite sad. I will miss them. As for us, we went to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum. Chelsea will claim it was quite boring, I will say it was interesting. And some of the stuff they had there was just plain cool. Engines from planes, huge World War 2 banners, and bears oh my! (no bears, sorry) Chelsea will still say it was the most boring thing in the world. Oh they had the tail wing of a B-52 just sitting there - all I have to say is massive. Yeah, cool stuff like that, I think Chelsea's dad enjoyed it also. For dinner we drove over to Basil's for dinner and had some pizza. They also had an awesome bruschetta that I can't remember exactly everything (or anything) about it so I'll leave it at that. We finished the night off with a nice walk on the beach with the sunset behind us.

September 6th - Ok for lunch, we went to Mrs. Wilkes boarding house. This place does it right...they serve you boarding house style with different parties sitting at the same dinging room table. You have a full feast (about 50 different dishes, no joke) sitting in front of you to choose from and you can have all of them and in good portion. Damn it was awesome. Let's just say we left with our stomachs quite full (more full then a trip to Red Lobster, Dan). Nicky met us there for lunch and then bailed afterwards to go home and do some stuff. This left us on the streets of Savannah to have a tour of the Mercer House. This is the house in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The house is beautiful and is basically a museum of old European and English art. The movie explains why and I have no pictures because they wouldn't let us. For dinner, Nickey and Jim invited us over for dinner for chicken salad. We left there house late and after many stories and conversations.

September 7th - We were woken up to get ready for a breakfast on Tybee. This would be our third time at the beach since we arrived in Savannah. We went to the beach with Nicky and Chelsea's parents first and collected seashells and enjoyed our time. Walking around a bit gave us a hunger we just couldn't ignore and we settled on The Breakfast Club for lunch. In true Rylan fashion, I had a bacon cheeseburger. I think I have a picture of this one and will add it when I get a chance (if it's already there, feast your eyes on that bad boy). The food was very good and put on our 'come back again' list (more of a mental list then anything really). For dinner, it was Jim's birthday and we went to Pearl's (spelling not quite sure). Blaine and Ginger joined us and it was great to see them. This is the place that has the donut tasting hush puppies. It was a good day in my book. Oh, Happy Birthday Jim!

September 8th - A boring day of orientation and waiting for another meeting to begin. It was getting close to school and I was also getting excited to start. On another note, while I was in a meeting, Chelsea was going to go back home and pick me up later. Well, we didn't realize that I had the car keys and she was stuck by herself for two and a half hours. She was not too happy. I don't think there was any other highlights of this day that I can remember.

September 9th - This is the day Chelsea's parents left and I would say a conclusion to what would be the prelude to our adventure. The family was gone and we were in Savannah alone with the dog. We did a bit of yard work (we are so grown up). And that's all I got. It had been exciting doing everything up until this point. The next day would be my first day of school...I guess it's time to go back to school to prove to my parents that I'm not a fool. It's time to step back, hold my breath, close my eyes and jump. I hope I don't fall.

P.S. From the looks of my posts it seems like I live my life through food. I am just writing these things because they are food to write home about. It is like discovering an entirely new treasure of opportunities. Later on I won't be mentioning about how we cooked chicken and rice or mac n' cheese because well, if you want that experience, go pick up a blue box at the grocery store. While you can't taste the food I ordered, that's too bad. I enjoyed it. Good Eats.
