we had the best family vacation we've ever had. we were able to really enjoy our kids. i don't know about you but our vacations are pretty much: what the kids want. the kids get. don't get me wrong... we totally take the spanking spoon. but we tend to eat ice cream every night. play at the pool too long. skip naps. you know spoil the mini's a bit. i also want to add; coleman is in a season of life that requires a lot of attention. he can't "get down" as much as he would like. but under the circumstance, he was totally a pro. and i can't wait to see how he handles vacays next year. [i bet that post will go something like: "i just thought last year was great." ha!
anyhow, we headed down just like promised friday morning around 7:15. the kids did great on the drive down. we got to camp set up. our air conditioner went out! but, our friend/tour guide for the weekend, carol searched craigslist, found an awesome replacement, and drove steven to get it. all while c, e, mom, and i played in the pool. a little spit, grit, sweat, and a new to us air conditioner and we were all ready for dinner.
we ate at huc a poos.
it was in.credible. $12 for a 22" pizza. and it was out. of this. world. good!
not to mention the atmosphere is awesome. the kids both played and we just sat and watched. o! and ate. we then headed to the river. see that's the cool thing about tybee they have a river and the beach. after watching some crabs, dolphins, a shrimp boat, and a wedding we headed to the pier.
we ate ice cream and enjoyed the nice breeze.
we were only camping about 1 mile from town, so we headed back for baths and bed.
saturday we got up early. the men & emily headed to fish.
the women & coleman headed for yard sales and thrift store.
the men caught no fish. but we found more than enough at the stores and yards we hit. we all had so much fun. we had an early dinner, and played in the pool while it cooked:)
while everyone cleaned up[lucky us]. we headed to the beach.
we played in the sand, run, jumped waves, swallowed salt water, and enjoyed the breeze until way after dark. the best thing about the beach is everything is open late. so we headed for another round of ice cream. it was "delicious" -emily
after that we headed to the "campin" to sleep because we were all exhausted. that's all for part 1.
stay tuned part 2 is just as good.....
