So our vacation wasn’t ALL bad. There really was a lot of good.
This was our charming beach house on Tybee Island. The upstairs was cute and beachy. Built in the 30′s, it still had it’s original wood floors and white clapboard walls.
Here was the “summer house,” advertised as livable, but sadly only for mosquitoes. At least it was cute to look at from a distance.
From the looks of the pictures I took of the kids, it seems like they had a good time. I guess I purposely didn’t take any pictures of them when they weren’t having fun. There really is no need to preserve those memories for posterity.
Tybee Island was a really lovely beach, minus the jellyfish. Ella and I are still battling our jellyfish stings. They are now itchy welts and against my protests, Tate read on Google that they usually leave scars.
We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Savannah. We even got to eat at Paula Deen’s restaurant, The Lady and Sons. At the Roundhouse Museum a few hours after we ate at Lady and Sons, we ran into her son and grandson, Jamie and Jack Deen. It’s the little things in life, y’all, that I find exciting. (No pictures of the encounter, none of them turned out.)
The line to get our name on the list for lunch at 9:30 AM.
The founder of the Girl Scouts birthplace.
The Savannah Candy Company. The kids got Ring Pops, of course, since you can get those anywhere.
Thanks for humoring me and looking, I know how excruciatingly boring it can be to look at other people’s vacation photos. I’m in such a funk right now, hoping that getting the kids back to school next week will perk me up…and perk up this boring ol’ blog.
Yes but when they are grown they won’t remember the ring pops from down the street. It will be “Do you remember those ring pops from that Eenormous candy store on vacation in….”
Maybe it’s the pictures, but the place/vacation really does look wonderful. I guess it goes to show the importance of visually documenting experiences
I don’t think vacation photos are boring! I think it’s funny to check out other places to visit. Plus it gets me thinking about how to take photos on my vacations.

Usually I don’t like looking at people’s vacation pictures but yours are just lovely.
I’m already researching a vacation for Tybee Island next summer. It looks so adorable!

Those pictures are lovely and therefore in time that’s how you’ll remember it…unless Google is right in which case you’ll have a more permanent reminder! Ouch, hope that feels better!

If it makes you feel better, I was stung by a jellyfish in the Gulf of Mexico as a kid with nary a scar to show for the experience. (I still don’t like swimming in anything where I can’t see my feet, however.)
NOT boring at all. The pictures make it look really awesome! That place is awesome-charming!
These tell a brilliant story.
Miss you. Just wanted you to know!

I love your photos. As a newbie to your site, the photos were what drew me in and then your stories about bama made me laugh my ass off and keep coming back.
Sorry about your jellyfish souvenirs.
I love Savannah, too! And I am also sorry about the jellyfish souvenir. Blech.

I love other people’s vacation picutres. Places I will probably never go, but get to see. Glad you had fun, I hope your funk leaves soon.

What gorgeous shots!! It looks like you had a wonderful vacation. I’m so very jealous. I need a vacation. LOL
What a great looking trip! It looks like there were some fun times to be had for sure…and Paula Dean’s restaurant?! Now I want to go to Savannah!

I find these pictures very upsetting. To think you moved away BEFORE you could take magazine quality pictures. You could have made me look like a model, you know.
(Seriously, love the photos.)

You will be fine with the jellyfish stings. But next time have meat tenderizer on hand! (I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, jelly fish central).
The pics are LOVELY. and I LOVE Savannah too. Went to college 3hrs south of there.
Beautiful pictues! So glad to see Juliette Gordon Lowe’s house!!! That’s cool.

It was funny to read these two posts because we’re in the process of moving to Savannah! We’ll be living on Whitemarsh Island–between Savannah and Tybee. We LOVE the candy shop. The flying taffy is so fun! The last time we were there we spent $25 on dinner and $50 on candy. Go figure
your pics are fantastic! and not boring. it was neat to see the quaintness (you captured well).
glad there were some good moments peppered in.
and i love ella’s outfit. my littlebean is wearing the exact same one right now (it was a bday gift, and i think it’s cute.)

Nonsense, I like looking at peoples vacation photos. Though I have been through Georgia quite a few times, I’ve never been to Savannah. It’s nice to see other peoples views of places to consider going there to visit. Even better that you have kids because my vacation would of course include kids.

I am a firm believer in documenting my kids’ unhappiness. That way, when they’re adults and they do nothing but talk about how idyllic their childhood was, I can prove them wrong.
awesome photos and I am so glad that I got to look through them.
Thanks for sharing!

This is one of those annoying self serving comments, but I can’t help but mention that my grandmother was in Juliet Low’s Girl Scout troop. Just consider it your random piece of useless information of the day
