Savannah with Friends

We went to Savannah, GA over Labor Day weekend!

Our friends Mitchell and Rebecca bought a house in August, and we were the first guests to make a mess visit and tour the new digs. My friend Sam has been in Korea for TWO YEARS and the last time I saw her was our wedding, so overall the weekend was a big fun reunion weekend and was TONS OF FUN.

Mitchell's and Rebecca's new house is awesome, and they've done a lot for only have been in it a couple weeks. Its in the Ardsley Park area of Savannah, and the house is a really cute 1940's house that has been upgraded over the years. It's different from the house we are building, and absolutely perfect for them. I asked them about ten million questions about the home buying process, the moving process, and generally - everything. 

We stayed for the long weekend hanging out, tasting beer, and going to the beach.

On Saturday we went to a beer festival. So naturally, we started off the day with - mimosas. We went to Treylor Park for lunch (yum!), then took the ferry over to the Savannah Craft Brew Festival. There were over 60 breweries there, each with a few selections, and you could walk around and sample anything you wanted. 

Waiting in line for the free ferry across the river. We have all lived in Savannah for 5+ years, and this was the first ferry ride for all of us!

We bought upgraded tickets to get into the festival early, which turned out great since it got really crowded and the lines got a lot longer an hour later. 

and we had a lot of fun tasting as much as we could

and we tried to take as many cheesy photo opportunities as we could. I love these guys, they are just wonderful.

On Sunday, we had planned to go to the beach. We woke up, and it was dismally overcast, but we headed out anyway. Thankfully, it ended up being perfect! The clouds cooled it off enough to not make it scorchingly hot, but the sun came out enough to make it a great beach day. 

The selfie stick did not make it to the beach, much to Sam's chagrin. 

My friend Sarah come out with her two boys, all of which I hadn't seen in ages, so it was a lot of fun. Then... the rain rolled in FAST and we headed to a local Tybee restaurant for lunch. 

The last night we were beat, so we kicked on our pajamas, played games, and got silly. We had a great time all weekend, but moments like these when we are doing nothing more but hanging out and enjoying each other's company were some of my favorite.

And, crisis averted - we found the selfie stick.
