Tybee Island GA

I could easily spend the rest of my life in Georgia. It is such a magical place. The day after Christmas we drove 5 and a half hours to Tybee Island. I have missed the ocean so badly and desperately needed an ocean fix. Our first stop was the Tybee lighthouse. It was such a foggy day that we could hardly even see it. After going to the top of the lighthouse we walked to the pier and couldn't see the ocean until we were about 50 feet from it. Even still it was the ocean and that was all that mattered. It was a breezy 75 degrees and the water felt icy. Had it been the middle of summer I think Everett would have loved the ocean. His first experience with it was a little scary and cold for him. After getting our feet wet we went and sat on a swing in the sand for a while watching the sun melt off some of the fog over the water. It was just perfect.

For dinner we went to the best seafood restaurant around, the crab shack. This place is amazing. Not only the food but the atmosphere. We had an amazing view from our table looking over the water and got the biggest platter of seafood I've ever seen. Before we ate we watched the alligators in their pond. Then after dinner we took a look at the exotic birds they have. To end the day we tried to find an ice cream shop in Savannah before heading home. But all of the lines were probably 45 minutes long so we unfortunately didn't get our ice cream and drove 4 and a half hours back home. 10 hours of the day was spent in the car driving and only a few hours were actually spent at Tybee but it was a lot of fun and hopefully not the last time we go there.
