Vacation & Travel: Family Time at Tybee Island, Georgia

We had an amazing trip to Savannah, Georgia this year.  We were able to explore Savannah, celebrate a cousins graduation from SCAD, and go to the beach on Tybee.  Here are some more fun pictures from our trip to Tybee Island:

Checking out Savannah's Wildlife!

The girls were thrilled to find this “pretty green frog” at Grandma Penny’s hotel!  As we were leaving one time we were greeted by this little guy!  It is amazing how fascinating a frog can be for the kids!

It was fun to spend time with my sweet Mom in Savannah!

We were so happy that Grandma Penny was able to go with us on the road trip to Savannah!  The girls loved hanging out with Grandma Penny!

Karlie wanted to make sure Daddy wasn’t going to leave us.

Brina's ready for the beach, she's swinging her arms to dry off the sunblock!

We found that putting sunblock on at the hotel, letting it dry, then heading to the beach was the key to stay unburnt and sand free!

The girls know we are getting close to the beach on Tybee once they see the giant shark!

They think the shark is hilarious.  The first time we went to Tybee we stopped by because they wanted a closer look.  Now when they see it they just giggle!

Aunt Mary Ann and the girls were the first to get their feet wet!

The girls love testing the water for a few minutes before going right into the ocean.

Karlie loves Tybee Beach!

Everyone starting to enjoy the beach!

It was great having an opportunity to go to the beach with extended family.  Tybee was beautiful and really only a few people were out on the beach with us.

Come on in Grandma Penny, the water's great!

The girls had a blast swimming with Grandma Penny, Aunt Renelle, Uncle Eric and everyone else.  The beach adventure was a lot of fun for the girls.

Everyone enjoyed a relaxing swim at Tybee.  We even saw some DOLPHINS!  I didn’t have my camera handy when they came but thrilled they came to visit us during our swim!

Karlie "helping" Uncle Eric dig a giant hole in the sand!

Every time we go swimming on Tybee Beach we see several of these cargo ships going by.  It is amazing the amount of cargo they carry on these ships as they go in and out of Savannah’s harbor.

Brina having fun riding on Daddy's shoulders!

The girls love the water!  I am thrilled that they are becoming more confident with their life jackets but still (for the most part) stay near us!

Aunt Mary Ann enjoying the shade while talking with Jake!

It was a beautiful day at the beach!  We are so thankful to be able to share it with so many family members!

Brina swimming with Daddy and Karlie swimming with Grandma Penny!

The girls thought it was awesome being able to swim with a lot of different people, they usually have a choice between Mommy or Daddy.  Thankful that they love the ocean and had fun with family!

Brina and Karlie "helping" Daddy dig a hole for a sand castle!

Thanks Laurel for the awesome sand toys!  The girls had a blast making a sand castle at Tybee!

Brina and Karlie taking a lunch break in the beach tent!

The tent was a nice place out of the sun for the kiddos to take a break and eat lunch.  Thanks babe for taking care of us so we didn’t get crispy in the sun!

The sand may be messy but it sure is fun playing in it with Daddy!

One of their favorite activities to do at the beach, dig in the sand!

Lunch time at the beach! We were thrilled Mom could join us in the adventure!

My Mom was able to fly up to Greenville and come with us on this road trip.  That weekend was packed full of fun with the graduation celebration, beach adventures, the road trip and many more exciting activities!

Checking out the lobsters at Red Lobster!

We didn’t have a chance to stop at a seafood restaurant in Georgia so on the road trip back home we ate at Red Lobster.  The girls were fascinated with their lobster tank!

“A Vacation To Remember” series is a reflection on our recent trip and ways we relaxed.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Go with a good attitude and looking for fun and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
