Tybee Island

 I love lighthouses and as soon as moving to Georgia I tried to locate the closest ones to us.  I couldn't wait to get to Tybee Island to see the beautiful lighthouse there.  The fact that it is the cutest little beach town was definitely an added bonus.
 Yep, she's a beauty.

 There were so many gorgeous and interesting beach houses to look at.
 Next time we go I am checking this fort out, it looked so interesting.





 I didn't bring Palmer and Lincoln swim shirts, so we had to be creative...my matching sensitive eyes were cringing, but nobody got burned!
 This is the first time the boys had ever seen the Atlantic Ocean (I didn't see it until I was 20...)  It is only the second time they have ever been to a beach and they had a ball playing in the ocean.  The water was extremely cold and they couldn't have cared less.
 McKay was a little more nervous, but by the end he was in the ocean jumping into the waves with Josh.
 We saw this "Jelly ball" floating around.  We were worried it was one that stings, but the locals assured us it isn't...but we still didn't take any chances.

 The boys wanted to body surf, but all we had were these little paddle boards.  They made them work and had such a fun time.
 Jumping the waves.

 We had all sorts of planes, helicopters and huge ships pass by us the whole day.  It was such an interesting day.  We also had fun watching pelicans fly up really high in the air and dive into the ocean after fish.  It happened again and again and was so neat.
 I sure love these cute boys!


 Lincoln spent a lot of time on this hole.  He was very proud if it.
 A little bit of ocean football with a friend the boys made.
 Toward the end of the day we couldn't pry the boys out of the water, but McKay was too cold so we sat and snuggled and told stories until Josh was able to talk the boys out of the ocean.  Even then they were sad to leave.
 Hunter and Lincoln gathered all of these neat shells.  They were everywhere!
 Some fun picture taking around the town of Tybee Island.
When we got home I photo shopped it a little bit.


 Later that night we walked around Savannah taking a look at the capitol building.  There was such neat architecture around this town for so many different time periods.


 We saw a family walking down the street and the little boy had a HUGE pizza box on his head.  Josh took off across the square to find out where they'd gotten it.  We just HAD to get one for dinner.  Josh was a champ and carried it about a mile to our hotel.
The boys thought it was amazing and we polished off the whole thing!  Another great day in Savannah!
