TYBEE ISLAND!

We just spent last week at Tybee Island for 3 days.  Wow, what a great place!  It had a cute downtown area with cute beach type shops.  The beach was nice and they had a pavillion with a pier.  We went to a different section of the beach where the "back" river meets the ocean and it reminded us of the panhandle area in Florida! The water was still warm enough to go in and do some surf fishing.  Didn't catch anything though....
We rode our bikes around the campground and some of the neighborhood area.  We also went kayaking one morning but I'm afraid I just don't have the upper body strength I need to make that more fun than work!
The Tybee Island Light Station [aka--lighthouse] was really neat to see.  Also around that same area, there are bunkers from the Civil War era, I think.  Houses and other establishments are tucked in all around them. Kind of strange in some ways---should have been a state landmark to be preserved, you'd think.....
On Sunday morning, we went down to the beach to watch the sunrise come up on the horizon, only there was a bank of clouds in the way.... I didn't get up as early as I should have to bike there in time, so the cloud bank gave me extra time!  It was so neat to be on the beach watching for the sun.  Other people were there as well.
We definitely want to go back to Tybee Island!
We have rented an RV for 3 weeks, not sure about living in it that long but since I had a lot of days off, we thought we'd take advantage of the time and go to a bunch of parks in between working while the weather was still nice.  So we'll make the best of it.  Can't wait for cooler weather though!
After one more week in Statesboro, we'll go down to Skidaway Island and then closer to Savannah to an RV Park.  Bob is going to an Insurance Agent class for 2 days in Savannah.  He'll have another 2 days the following week as well.  So we'll be in Emanuel, Candler and Jenkins counties for 3 days then have another 4 days off.

  1. My in-laws live on Tybee...unfortunately they were away while you were there. You experienced some things that I have yet to do on my visits there. Are you doing some contract ARNP work? Great pictures. Looks like a wonderful time of respite for you and Bob. Let us know when Texas is on the horizon!
