Tybee Island, Georgia 2014

The Sissom family met in Tybee Island, Georgia for a week at the beach over the Memorial Day holiday. The house that Terry’s dad rented was built in 1937 and had three stories. It was unlike any house we had stayed in up to that point. It even had an elevator which came in handy for Terry’s mom. We feasted on great seafood all week, walked on the beach, met on the big front porch for coffee in the morning. We had a lot of laughs and told a lot of stories. It was a fun week, but it’s always good to get back home.

The front porch was my favorite part of the house. If I could’ve taken it home with me, I would have!

Me!

The boardwalk to the beach. Our house was way off the beach this time around.

Looking back toward our beach house which is to the right of the board walk.

I will post some pictures from our trip to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum tomorrow.

Memory of the Beach

I got this pretty sea turtle sun catcher on our beach trip last month.

One Last Look Around

These picture were taken on our last day at the beach.






We were priviledged to witness a wedding on our last day there.
It happened on the beach directly in front of our beach house.

Orange Beach Sunrise

Terry snapped these sunrise pictures on our last day at Orange
Beach. Unfortunately our house faced the south, so the sun didn't
rise over the ocean, but these photos are beautiful!


Our beach house is the green one in the middle.


Sunrise dune.


This is my favorite shot that Terry took that morning. Sunrise
through the high rise that was being built near our beach house.


Gorgeous!

On the drive back from Ft. Morgan, we saw this beautiful beach
house that was under construction. I would love to spend a week
in this place :0)

Random Beach

The Romar Beach Baptist church on Orange Beach. They were
having a retreat the week we were at the beach. I've never seen
a church right on the beach before, have you?


Dolphin cruise anyone? I went on one in Hilton Head in 1989.
It was a lot of fun. They had glass bottom boat dolphin cruises
in Orange Beach.


This little blackbird landed on the railing of our room at our beach
house while I was taking pictures.
