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!

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

Last Day at Ft. Walton Beach

Our last day on the beach began with trucks and men with nets on the beach. Thankfully they weren't here to take us away, ha ha hee hee! Turns out they were fishing tar chips out of the ocean. I found a little tar chip when I got out of the water yesterday. The BP spill was two years ago and this is still going on. It probably will be for years to come.

We found a couple of noodles in the condo and had a lot of fun floating around the gulf. The water was so calm and pretty yesterday! We ended up staying out all day.

The lunch at Fisherman's Wharf was so good on Thursday, that we decided to go back there for dinner last night. We feasted on grilled scallops, mahi mahi, shrimp and soft shell crab. The day ended with another gorgeous sunset. This picture doesn't do it justice! We were so tired from the beach that we turned in early. We have to check out of our condo at 10 am. I will be glad to get home, especially with Hurricane Isacc knocking on the door.
