One thing I love about camping is, our days start out slow. No rush. And no real agenda. So different from life at home! I love, love, love camping! Anyway, hubby relaxing around the morning fire with great instant coffee.
We love lighthouses. And this is our third one to visit. Kind of an unexpected surprise because, honestly, I didn't know there was one until we arrived in Savannah and decided to visit Tybee Island.
It is a historical site on the island so they had a lot of history to share with us. They have restored many of the out buildings and we were able to see what life was like for the lighthouse keeper and his family.
We climbed up (and down) about 150 stairs. EG made it the whole way.
Rough seas and incredibly strong wind. The observation deck on the lighthouse was closed due to the strong gusts!
At the top.
Picture of me just to prove I was actually there! ;) Obviously EG wanted no part of her picture taken. Again.
Spectacular view from up top. We had to take pictures out of the windows that were on every other floor.
After our trip to Tybee Island we realized we had not had lunch. Can you think of a more perfect lunch then world famous ice cream from Leopold's? It really is world famous. The trolley driver had told us the day before that it was ranked number five in the whole world. Who could resist?? While we sat there eating ours, the door never stayed closed. In fact, the line was practically out the door. I guess everyone had the same idea for lunch! Hubby is kind of an ice cream snob (he actually likes our local grocery store's the best) but he thoroughly enjoyed his!!
So did EG.
After our ice cream lunch we made a trip to Bass Pro Shop. What is a family vacation with out a stop there! The kids love the stores with their huge fish tanks and all kinds of out door paraphernalia.
We made it back to the campground in time for a dinner of chicken chili and for the kids to play a little with their new found friends. Have I mentioned I love camping? We had toyed with the idea of staying an extra day, but wet weather or more strong winds were predicted. Hubby did not like the idea of driving 4 1/2 hours, in the driving wind and rain, pulling our camper. I guess I couldn't blame him.
Anyway, we had a fabulous time. And, it was a great trip to start our camping season. Unfortunately we don't have another trip planned until February. Lots of other exciting trips to take, in the meantime . . .
