Tybee Baby

Open Waters
I've grown quite fond of Atlanta, but being landlocked has been a real problem for me. I need to be able to see the ocean. A lake or river is not enough for me. I need to be able to look out at the endless horizon the ocean provides. 

One of Skye's homeschool teachers, Doug, organized a trip to his family's place on Tybee Island. Yes, where the hurricane landed. Luckily, his place survived without too much damage. 

It was a heck of a lot of fun, hanging out with the kids, playing card games and scrabble, although in the case of scrabble, it sort of became a chess game between Doug and myself. 

I didn't go for an ocean swim because it was cold and even though I've jumped in the north Atlantic in the winter while everyone else was in full length wet-suits, I just didn't feel that call this time around. 

I was more than happy with long walks on the beach. 

Too Much to Say 
We also got to hang out a little in Savannah, a town I love, a light house tour and go on a kayak tour. It was just what the doctor ordered. 

​So wonderful.
