Tybee Island aka where they filmed The Last Song ft. Miley Cyrus andLiam Hemsworth

A few weeks ago we journeyed 4.5 hours south to Tybee Island for a relaxing weekend retreat with Spencer and Sonya and their kiddos. It was aaaawesome! We stayed in a vacation rental that had a view straight out to the ocean, so the whole time we were inside we had the balcony open to hear the crashing waves...ahhhh I loved it! The first 2 days we were there it was super windy, so Eva wasn't real sure what to think so she just grunted the whole time.

Eva and I were ALWAYS the first two people up in the morning, so we had the gorgeous early morning pictures all to ourselves! And don't worry about the power lines in the backround, it's still pretty!

Eva was not the most cooperative early morning picture taker...

We also went to Savannah which was super fun to walk around, and it was the first time Eva used her umbrella stroller. She looked so chubby in it! And I'm so mad at myself for not getting a picture!

This was the only Savannah pic I got - her first ice cream at Leopold's

on the boat looking for dolphins

The last day we ventured to the south beach and the weather was perfect for swimming! The water was too cold for Miss Thang so I tried to have her play in the wet sand but mostly she wanted me to hold her. When she couldn't take it anymore I went to wash her feet off in the ocean but then a wave came up and her whole bum got soaked and she lost it! Then george took her back to our umbrella/towel set up so she could feel better, and she discovered the sand! She dug in between our overlapping towels, and george said she was grunting and mad the whole time, but we think it was therapeutic. By the time I got back to the umbrella Eva was doing great and crawling all over, eating all her toys covered in sand, and even face planted in the sand when she crawled over me.

When we got home I knew I had cleaned all the sand off her/out of her crack(s)...and then she pooped and deposited more sand back in her crack. Agh. And then it happened 2 more times.


On the way home the best part of the whole trip (ok not really but kind of) was stopping at a random gas station 1 hr away from savannah that Spencer and Sonya randomly stopped at on the way down..it was a gas station with a talking bird out front in a cage that danced and did tricks....and wait for it...a PETTING ZOO! Which was the best petting zoo I've ever BEEN TO! And it only cost a dollar!

We were all a bit terrified of the emu- they were unpredictable!
