Juliette Gordon Low & Tybee Island

Today was wonderful!  We drove in to Historic Savannah and toured the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace.  Maddie and Hailey are both Girl Scouts, so this was a real treat, and it had a lot of meaning for them.  It was very interesting and they were able to receive a special pin to wear on their uniform that shows that they have been there.
After visiting the Juliette Gordon Low House we went to a small café for lunch.  It was a very nice lunch and the best part was the café had wonderful sweets (including a gluten free peanut butter chocolate marshmallow blondie).  Both Doug and I shared a treat and so did the girls. 
 
Once we got back to the camper, we changed and headed to the Tybee Island Beach.  It was a beautiful day, blue sky and 85 degrees.  The water was warm and the beach was not very crowded at all.  Hailey and Maddie loved splashing in the waves and playing in the sand.  Doug even joined them for a while.  I loved watching them.  I did go in a bit too!
 
My favorite part of the beach visit was seeing the Tybee Island Light House.  I LOVE Lighthouses.  This one was very cool and right behind where we set up on the beach.
 After the beach we walked back to the campground and swam in their pool.  It was a nice way to wind up the day before dinner.  Hailey, Maddie and Doug all got into a water battle.  It was a lot of fun!

 
Now I am sitting by the campfire listening to the frogs and locust make noise, while I drink my "Mommy Juice".  We just had dinner, and it's time to relax!  We have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow as we make our way to Pensacola Florida.
