The 4 hour drive to Savannah took us about 8. Partly because Savannah cried most of the way, but mostly because we stopped at the outlet mall and then for supper. East of Savannah about 20 miles is a little island called Tybee island with a great beach, pier, and lots of wind! The walkways fron the street to the beach were drifted in with sand above the hand rail...it reminded me of walking on the drifts back home in the winter only I was in barefeet and there were bits of seashells in there as well. Who ever thought you would have to shovel sand???
Here we are on the pier....Jan, Julian, Karen, and Savannah bundled up in the sling.
Sooooooooo windy.....nice hair!
Julian's first trip to the ocean....he thought is was ok at the beach until Jan took him to walk in the water a bit.....he wasn't so happy after that. If I recall correctly it was about 15 C but with a heck of a wind. I was glad we brought our fleece sweaters.
Savannah's first trip to the beach. No suntanning here! Only sleeping (suprise suprise!!)
On the riverfront in Savannah there is a number of souvinier shops, restraunts, pubs, candy shops, and local history things. Here we are in front of a model of the S.S. Savannah. So nice that a boat was named after our little girl!
Jan and Julian infront of the paddle wheeler "Savannah River Queen", it takes tourists on tours up the river.
Part of a magnolia tree and it's blooms, the blooms are about the size of two fists put together!
