a little beach trip

This weekend we made a trip to the south. About 4 hours south to be exact. And why, you may ask?

For Savannah and Tybee Island. A little piece of heaven if you ask me. You did ask, didn't you?

The number one rule when you visit Tybee Island-you have to let loose and put the mindset in chill mode. 

In other words, reeeelaaaxxxx.

The kids had no problem adapting to the beach life.

 
Oh beach, how we love you...

On Sunday we stayed inland and toured around Savannah.

We also drove by many of the Savannah squares. Then we stumbled upon the Mercer house.

 Now, if you haven't already heard about the real events that happened in this house, well you can get a brief story HERE. But I highly recommend reading the book about owner Jim Williams who had all kinds of awful luck in this house in the book titled 'Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.' A good summer read. But if you are like my husband, there's a movie out too that you can watch instead. But I promise, the book is much better. Sorry, Kevin Spacey.

And of course we had to look up and gawk at all the beautiful dripping spanish moss.

Not a bad way to spend Father's Day.

We hope y'all had a great weekend. Happy Father's day to all you wonderful dad's, papa's, and great grandpa's out there. We love you all so much!
