The first two weeks we were here in Savannah we stayed at a beautiful beach house on Tybee Island (Savannah's beach). Tybee is only about 15 minuntes from our new house so it was a perfect place to stay while all the work was being done on the house. The beach here is definitely different from what we are used to. The sand is grayish with TONS of shells and the water isn't as green but it is still great! Every time we went out there we had a great time. We had fun looking through the shells and picking out our favorites, and CeCe had fun 'making piles' of shells with her shovel. There are huge barges and container ships that go very close to shore so that was fun to watch too. Two of the days we were out there were seagulls everywhere. CeCe would get so tickled at them!
The sand seems harder (as in easier to walk on top of and not sink down in the fluffy white stuff like Pensacola). There were people riding bikes on the really hard sand right by the water. When the kids get a little older I want to try that! I don't think you would ever want to go barefooted on the beach here, way too many shells and broken shell peices. 4 pairs of good water shoes are on our list to buy. The hard sand makes for good chasing though!
We could see Tybee's famous light house from our kitchen window. This picture is taken from the beach in front of our rental house.
Bryce is going through a football phase right now and the beach was a great place to play!
Lots of dead jellyfish this day. Kiki was pointing them out to the kids.
I never saw Papaw Duke get in the sand in Pensacola so I was surprised he came out with us. He said he wanted to find some shells for his sweetheart!
We are super excited to be living so close to the beach here. There are great bike trails, restaurants and parks on Tybee so I know we will be going out there regularly!
