Savannah Vacation

Last week we went on our Fall vacation to Tybee Island and Savannah. We had postponed our Savannah hotel accomodations back in August when we headed home early from our vacation to get ready for Tropical Storm Eduoard. We picked October at the time. When we got home, we decided rather than go to Savannah for a quick weekend, we would extend our visit and check out Tybee Island. So we rented a house at the beach. Although the weather didn't cooperate (we had a lot of wind and rain), we had a great time. There were a few sunny periods and we were able to have some beach time and check out the Pirate Festival happening on Tybee. We were in a great location, and we saw dolphins every day. Our friends Jon and Amanda and their little girl, Ava, came down from Charleston to visit. Natalie & Owen had a blast with Ava, and it was great to see Jon & Amanda. On Friday, Grandpa Tom & Grandma Phyllis arrived - the timing matched Grandpa's birthday, so they came to celebrate with us. Over the weekend, we had some beach time (we even had a full rainbow and double rainbow after one of the storms) and we went to see the Pirate Festival parade and check out the hot rods and classic cars. Natalie and Owen really enjoyed splashing around in the ocean, and we had a lot of beach races. On Monday we headed into Savannah. We really liked it there. The weather cleared up and it was sunny for our walking activities. We went to River Street and walked through countless squares around the city. On Tuesday we headed home and we've been adjusting back to our normal routine around here. Now we are getting ready for Halloween. I've been getting decorations out and Natalie & Owen are very excited.
