Tybee Beach

I Love taking pictures at the beach! They always come out good!

Tybee Beach is one of the last things we did on our trip to Savannah, GA.

Here are the things we did and saw on our trip.

Wednesday - We left Farmington to stay in a hotel near the airport in Albuquerque.

Thursday - Flew to Houston, Tx. then on to Jacksonvill, Fl. There we were picked up by Grandpa Fuzz in a 15 passenger boy Scot van that he rented from Tom. Drove to Savannah, Ga.

Friday - I took Alissa to urgent care and then to the Emergency room. There we found out she had Pneumonia. David and the others went down town to River street for Salt Water taffy and Pecan Cluster samples at The Savannah Candy Kitchen. D and The Stunt went to Hunter Air Force Base to Camp out with the Boy Scouts on an Island.

Saturday - D and Tom went Golfing. That night the adults went to River Streat for Dinner. It was crazy to see a cargo ship carrying probably 100 box cars on it go down the river. Not a small river. For dinner I tried grouper. I think I'll stick to Salmon. We also had boiled peanuts and Salt water taffy. Their were many performers singing. Good Fun!

Sunday - we all stayed home from church to get better. That night we had mexican food and played games with some of Tom and Septembers friends.

Monday - We took our family along with D's parents and went to S.C. The Stunts ear was hurting, but he was a trooper. Here we visited John's Island, Charleston, Rainbow row, the Battery and also had dinner with D's friend Devonne. We visited an urgent care for Hunter. He had a double ear infection. We got him started on anti-biotics

Tuesday- We left the house at early to drive to Orlando. We arrived at Disney World at about 9:30. It was crazy busy.
Stayed at the Mariott Hotel.

Wednesday- Animal Kingdom where Nicklaus and Cayman were unseperable. Nicklaus LOVES hangin' out with Cayman!

Thursday-Epcot. Here we saw lots of Disney Characters, rode a fun fast car ride, had soda from around the world and flew to outer space. Ended the day with Ice Cream and drove back to Savannah.

Friday- Went to Tybee Beach. Then the adults went to another Scouting event. Tom put on a dinner where we took part in our first Oyster bar. Blah! Ok, I tried it because people were going nuts and I thought it was fun to open Oysters. When I opened them I felt obligated to eat them. I didn't open too many, I will say with a cracker and cocktail sauce they are tollerable.

Saturday - David and Hunter, Tom and Cayman played in a Golf tournament. I'm such a GIVER! That night we went to a really pretty southern home and had more Yummy! Boiled Peanuts along with a Low Country Boil. It was so yummy and fun! They boil food and then dump it on a table covered in news paper. You pick up the food with your hands and eat without utencils.

Sunday - we went to church and had more boiled peanuts after dinner. That night we stayed up late and talked to Tom and September. Great Conversation!

Monday - We went to Fort Pulaski. This is a cool Fort built by the Union in about 1820. It cost over $1 mill. and was built with millions of brick. It had a moat built around it. It saw little war but the cool thing was that the fight that did take place was between the North and South. The South at Fort Pulaski and The North were able to take out one of the walls from Tybee Beach where we had just visited. Here we saw jelly fish in the moat. D said all we need to see now it an alligator. Sure enough someone pointed one out just outside the building. We were able to stand just feet away from a small but real wild alligator.

That night September and Tazman took us to the airport where we flew home. One the first plane back home we had turbulence that had us all screaming. It was so..... scary. Even D was a little shaken. The next plane ride went a little better. We drove home that night and got home to Farmington around 2:30 am. on Tuesday.

Tuesday - Sent the kids to school and went back to sleep!

Belles at Epcot

Epcot

We were able to see more Disney Characters here than in Desney World

Animal Kingdom

I forgot my camera at Disney World so I made up for it at Animal Kingdom. It was a better day anyway. Disney World was so crowded and crazy. Animal Kingdom was actually relaxing and fun. Thanks to Caymen for all his hard work keeping us on schedule we got to ride all the rides without waiting and sometime twice without any wait. Caymen had a schedule that someone gave us and it worked great. I strongly recommend using one of these and taking advantage of the fast pass and the baby swap pass.

Animal Kingdom

We spent a lot of time in the Van

David and Devonne

This is Davids Childhood friend. They met in Scouting and have many experiences. We finally had met up with him and his wife in Charleston.

Devonne

On Saturday we took our awsome 15 passenger van up the coast to Johns Island, SC. where David grew up. We stopped at Davids Elementry school Sea Island Academy and drove around Johns Island. The houses and the trees were so..... beautiful! There we stopped at Devonne's (Davids close childhood friend) parents house and talked to his parents. We then drove into Charleston and ate dinner with Devonne, his beautiful wife and mother. It was a real cool experience. David has always talked about Devonne and there good times together. I can remember Devonne being in a lot of Cardiff stories so it was really great to finally meet him in person. I think by the time we left, David was a little choked up. Hopefully we can keep in touch and next time meet his sweet little girl. Yes he is a Daddy to 4!

Dinner on River Street

While in Savannah, GA. we went down town to River Street and first had boiled peanuts then dinner, Salt Water Taffy and last a walk along the river. This was the begging of our Spring Break adventure (well Sort of).

When we started our journey Wiss got sick in line at the airport just as we were checking our bags. Then Niwis sneezed a snot bubble that shot out in front of us. This was the real beginning to our adventure. After we got to Savannah thursday Wiss continued to get worse so we took her to the urgent care friday. After I talked them into an ex-ray they found Pneumonia and sent us to the Emergency room where they confirmed it. To my surprise they sent her home with instructions to give her Antibiotics and if she started to feel better they said we could go on to Disney World on Tuesday. That night the stunt and David went on a Camp out to Hunter Air force base with the Boy Scouts. It was really cool but the stunt got really cold and wound up with a Double Ear infection. So, after a trip to two different urgent care fisilities and a trip to the emergency room. We had one with Pneumonia and one with a double ear infection and Niwiss had a bad cough. Bells was the only one not sick. We kept our fingers crossed and hoped that we could get everyone well by the time we went to Orlando.
We got lucky! Wiss got a lot better by monday and the Stunts ear pain was gone but he did have drainage from one ear so you'll see that in most of his pictures he has a piece of cotton in that ear. He was a little irritated with the drainage but was able to ride all the rides and managed to have a lot of fun. Wiss did well too. She rode all the rides even the one at Epcot where you travel to space and have a lot of pressure on your chest. I had a hard time breathing and felt really sick on that ride but she was right next to me and did great and she loved it. I on the other hand almost used the bag that they provided. I was a very real ride.
