Wedding time

Friday evening we headed to Cedar Plantation for Brent and Robyn's wedding. It was a gorgeous venue, and a beautiful wedding. It was fun to catch up with Uncle Bill and Aunt Nancy, and Erin, Ben and Lanie.

And the long drive home on Saturday. They were actually amazing travelers the whole time. Our drive back from Atlanta was fairly quick too. I think we made it home in around 8 hours, and that's with a potty stop, a lunch stop and an ice cream stop half an hour from home. Hey, the pregnant lady had to pee!! : ) We had such a great time, and I would love to go back next year. We will have to see how things go with 3...

On to Atlanta!

On Thursday morning, we loaded up the car, said good-bye to Tybee, and headed to Atlanta for my cousin Brent's wedding. The drive back to Atlanta went fairly quickly. The funniest part was when we stopped in Macon for lunch at Chik-fil-a. Jon, Steph and the kids had left before us, but about 2 minutes after we walked in the door, they strolled in after us. How random is that-we not only got off at the same exact exit, but we stopped at the same exact restaurant. Crazy!

Saying good-bye to the beach. There was a huge tree that had washed up on shore, so a bulldozer was out on the beach removing it. Good entertainment for the kids while we packed the car!
We made it to our hotel in Kennesaw! Ollie hitching a ride with the luggage.
Jon and I left the rehearsal dinner early because Evie was a tired mess. Grandma and Papa stayed until the end, and brought Oliver a piece of cake when they returned. Boy, was he excited! So excited that when I told him to take off his dress shirt to eat it, he stripped naked! After I had him put his little boxer shorts back on, he dug in.

Last beach day.

Wednesday was our last full day on Tybee. We spent some more time at the beach in the morning, and then spent the entire afternoon at the pool. We had to get our last hours of sun in! In the evening, Mom, Dad, Jon, the kids and I drove in to Savannah to eat dinner at The Pirates' House. It was, again, delicious, and we had fun looking around the gift shop. Evie's favorite part was her first lollypop.

Run away beach ball!

More fun in the sun!

On Tuesday, the sun came back, so we hit the beach and pool for some more fun in the sun.

Ollie could almost fit through, but then the tunnel collapsed.

After spending the day at the beach, we went to North Beach Bar and Grill. It is a Tybee restaurant with Caribbean flair. Again, a fantastic meal! As soon as dinner was over, we settled Aunt Pam and Quinn back into their condo, and Jon, Ollie and Evie into our condo, and the rest of us drove into Savannah for a ghost tour. It was interesting to say the least, although the scariest part of the evening is when we had to call 9-1-1 and send our tour guide to the Emergency Room.

I'm always a little nervous when someone asks if a doctor or nurse is on the bus, but I raised my hand anyways. The tour bus driver explained that she was feeling itchy and lightheaded and just wanted someone to know in case something happened. I wasn't sure if she was for real or if it was part of the tour, but I did get a little nervous when she asked me to stay in the front of the trolley with her. At our first stop, she pretty much passed out in the parking lot. Awesome. Somebody called an ambulance while I tried to keep her conscious. Good times. Anyways, we got a new tour guide and continued on.

Dad, Hannah and me at the Sorrel Weed House. It is supposedly the most haunted house in Savannah, and has been featured in multiple TV shows such as Ghost Hunters. We are sitting in the infrared room where they have cameras set up so you can see all of the orbs floating by. Apparently ghosts are more connected to children and pregnant women, but we didn't get anything weird on film.
After the ghost tour, we went to Leopold's Ice Cream Shop for a treat before heading home to bed.

Rainy Day

Monday morning, Mom and I hit the beach for a stroll. We walked about a mile down when we started to feel a few raindrops. We had gotten to the end of the main strip of beach where all of the rocks are, and we got to see the Tybee lighthouse. We also saw some pretty crazy cloud formations as the storms rolled in. When we got back to the condo, we took the kiddos out to collect shells for a bit before it started pouring. Mom, Dad, Ollie and I hit the Sugar Shack for lunch and milkshakes, and then we all went back to the condo for a long nap. I think it did us all some good!

Here is when Evie refused to walk in the sand. Jon finally got her running around to chase the seagulls. She is so silly!
After we were all well rested, we headed to The Crab Shack for dinner. One of my playgroup friends who is originally from the area recommended it to me, and we are so glad that we went! The Crab Shack slogan is "Where the Elite Eat in Their Bare Feet". It was such a fun place. They have 80 alligators on their property, and you can go to the bar and buy alligator snacks to feed them. They also had an exotic bird room with some really cool birds in it. The food was great! It was so much fun to eat delicious seafood on a big wood plank table with a garbage hole in the middle. Again, delish!
