Tybee Island With Grammy

Sarah loved taking advantage of John's spring break so much that she decided to double down and take advantage of Callie and Reese's break too. She planned another trip that would also include Grammy and they selected Tybee Island off the coast of Georgia. Little did Sarah realize that Tybee Island is within spitting distance of Hilton Head. So about a week after returning from her trip with John, Sarah jumped back in the car for the return trip to the Atlantic coast.

Tybee Island is not as built up as Hilton Head is and there are a lot of scenic views. The weather wasn't hot, but it was warm enough that they got to go the beach and broke out the shorts and t-shirts. Sarah, Grammy, and the girls did a lot of exploring. Callie and Reese's favorite part was renting bikes that enabled them to travel all over the island. Unfortunately, Grammy decided that her years of bike riding were in the past. That phrase, it's just like riding a bike, is not always as applicable as we want it to be. However, this allowed her to get in her daily walks. 

One great thing about the hotel was that it was right on the ocean. All it took to catch the sunrise each day was rolling over and opening up the drapes. Sarah made a point to wake up early and walk down to the beach for a more up close and personal experience with the break of day. 

One day she even convinced Callie to wake up and join her. Callie had brought her soccer gear so that she could keep up her training a bit while on break, and that created the opportunity for some classic photos. We decided not to share the pictures of Callie running in a park in Savannah because it looks more like paparazzi chasing a celebrity.

One of the most iconic landmarks on Tybee Island is its lighthouse. You can even climb to the top and take in the surrounding views. It also had wonderful historical markers that told its history which Grammy enjoyed. As lighthouses go it is a pretty cool one. Definitely selfie worthy.

As is the case with so many of us, the pandemic interrupted our lives and traditions. This trip marked our first with Grammy since we all went to Alaska in the summer of 2019. It was nice to travel with her again and we'll have to get back into the rhythm of annual trips to baseball stadiums as soon as we can.
