Haven't posted anything in awhile, for a lot of reasons...first is time constraints. There just isn't a whole lot of time floating around here that isn't already spoken for. Secondly, I haven't had a laptop to use in a couple of weeks, so my computer time has really been limited. Which includes facebook, gmail, blogging, you tube, among other things...
So Savannah was a success. I can now check that locale off my list of places I should visit. We went down on Friday and got to check in to our room early. Got a quick nap in and then hit the town. Ate at a little pub, I think it was called Molly McPhersons. It was yummy. For some reason the only two things I can really remember about it was the waiter was super skinny and humored me by walking past the talking "busts" to make them talk, and there was a devil hanging from the ceiling that looked like it was gonna swoop down and get us. Then we walked around for a good bit and saw all kinds of interesting things. We ended up at this bar called Wet Willies, which had an entire wall devoted to slushy drinks. It was pretty amazing to see all those colors and flavors just churning on the wall. The price was pretty reasonable for a good sized drink, and everybody's clothes glowed.
The next day we made it down to breakfast in a timely fashion and then hit Savannah again. We walked up and down River Street and went into several shops. We ate lunch at some place that wasn't really all that special. The best part was that it had a balcony, but it was a little bit chilly so we moved indoors. Then we took a boat ride/tour thing. It was great to see some of the sights and catch a few winks, but that was about it. Next we headed to a Target to grab a few necessities then out to Tybee Island for a walk om the beach. The beach there was very different than back here at home. Oh wait, we don't have a beach here back home...well of course I mean Myrtle Beach. Anyway, the beach was wide...lots of room between the dunes and the ocean. The sand was also different although I can't seem to really find the words to explain the differences. We took a good long walk and then headed to The Crab Shack for dinner. That place was super awesome. This is a good time to insert that I hate seafood, but I really dug that place. I tried some seafood, but didn't really like any of it. The ambiance was really neat though. We ate outside and the marsh was right there to look at, along with about 50 zillion cats... Oh and I forgot to mention the pit of alligators that greeted us when we arrived.
After we left The Crab Shack we headed over to find the light house. Chris and I always look for a Christmas Ornament when we go out of town and this time we choose to get the lighthouse from Tybee Island as our ornament. So it was only fitting that we actually find the lighthouse and pay it some kind of visit. Well we found it by following these arrows from the sea turtles that marked the way. When we got there it was obvious that there was a wedding taking place, or it could have been two weddings, we aren't sure. There was some speculating on that one. Anyway, the lighthouse was closed for the day, but somehow a Scottish dude got up there to play his bagpipes. We were glad we hadn't tried to sneak up the stairs and make our own tour arrangements. We went to the beach again, but just for a minute before we decided to head back to the little restaurant that was right there on the beach. A dude was there playing a variety of instruments, sometimes a banjo, sometimes an electric guitar, sometimes a keyboard. And a chick was singing who wasn't half bad. We went in and had a round of drinks. That was my most favorite moment of the whole trip. Just sitting there in that little shack drinking a drink, listening to the music, hanging with friends...on the beach.
The trip by far wasn't over and I could tell you all about coming home, but where is the fun in that? No reason to get bummed. I really could have repeated that Saturday a couple of more times before being snapped back into the rrality of life back home.
It was a great trip, Skye took some great picturesan and some fantastic memories were made! Thanks for.a great trip and I vote for a repeat sooner rather than later!
