Tybee Time

I’m baaaackkkkkk!  Did you miss me?  I bet you didn’t even know I was gone beings my lovely guests held the fort blog down? (Thanks again ladies!)

Nate and I took a trip with my family to Tybee Island, Georgia.  A whole week of sun, 90+ degrees, and no work….woo hoo to island life!!

And now you get to suffer through vacation photos…mwah ha ha.  I really think they could make vacation photos some sort of prisoner torture strategy!  Luckily I am just going to share with you some of my favorites and not all 1300 photos that my mom took (you only wish I was joking).

How’d we spend our time on Tybee Island?

We people watched from our condo…one of my favorite vacation past times…

Sunbathed.  Can you believe that neither of us got burnt?  Thank you SPF 45…and nap time during peak sun hours…oh, nap time…I miss you already…

We toured the Tybee Island lighthouse and surrounding buildings…

The house is where the lighthouse keeper lived.  The banister in the house was built to resemble the lighthouse…someone was thinking…

The view from the top was amazing…and super scary for a girl who doesn’t even like the second step on a ladder…

We took a day trip to the Wormsloe Historic Site where we strolled through the 400+ oak trees with beautiful Spanish moss…

The Wormsloe site contains tabby ruins that are the oldest standing structures in Savannah. True tabby is made of equal parts lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash.  You won’t find this as a building material in Iowa!

We ate the most delicious gelato once twice almost every night…

In the mornings, my parents and I would wander the island streets and check out the beach houses…and make room for more gelato…

We took a family photo…my dad was totally into it…

My brother walked on water…(Single ladies, he’s available. Contact me for his info…)

And Nate took pretty pictures…

We also did some sightseeing in Savannah which I will share with you on Thursday…just when you thought the torture had ended!!  **insert evil laugh**

What’s your favorite vacation destination?  Are you a beach fanatic or land lover?  Are you the relaxing type or a go-getter vacationer? 

I want to hear from every one of you that reads this blog today….your comments may be the only things that get me through my first day back at work. :)

  2. the first day back is always terrible! You got some great pictures...looks like a wonderful time :). We just booked our 2011 vacay-- seattle, Walla Walla, portland, sonoma/napa, and San Francisco....so ya, that probably answers your question, definitely not beach lovers here :)

  5. Oh my gosh, could you guys BE any cuter? Adorable family. I love the first picture of the two of you and the one with you two walking and holding hands. Looks like a lovely vaca. Hope you have a great day, back to the grind. (Clearly, I'm really back to the grind, too. I'm reading your blog instead.)

  15. I love the pic of you two walking under the trees!

    My weekend started good. It was my 7th year anniversary and we were kid-free for the weekend, woot! (older son in San Fran for a band concert, and 2 youngins' at my mom's). Hubby & I enjoyed a nice dinner out Fri night, and Knott's Berry Farm on Sat. I woke up Sun w/food poisoning...and that's when the fun ended - my actual anniversary and Memorial Day sick :-(

  21. As a fellow pharmacist (and blog lurker), I can relate to the bliss of a vacation! I hope the reality check wasn't to rough. Keep on blogging - I can't wait to see what ideas you're cooking up next!

  22. Wow, that looks great. I've never been to Georgia. Great photos especially that last shot. Way to go Nate!!

  23. Thanks for rubbing it in...just kiddin'. I'm sitting here is gray Seattle waiting for our summer to start. BooHoo. Great pics btw. I love the one under the pier. That's the type of pic I usually take. Pretty impressive that you never burned. I'll have to look into the 45 SPF. I would say that I do enjoy laying in the sun when I vacation, but I'm more of a pool person. My favorite vacations are ones where we go sight seeing. I have always wanted to go to Savannah and tool around. Love your blog!

  24. LMAO! I LOVE you Michelle! Torture... no way! I love looking at vacation photos and planning our next adventure! Glad to have you back!

    As for us, we love both beach and land, and love to relax and go-gettum'. I think we're ready for a super relaxing beach vacay soon tho! Too busy and too little time for down-time. :(

    Beautiful pic under the pier btw!

  27. Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against
    hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
    Any suggestions?

  38. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and
    tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.

    My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!
