To the coast!

We're going to see the ocean! Yes!

There is a little island just east of Savannah called Tybee Island. Tybee is actually a Native American dialect word for "salt." There's your history lesson. It has about a three mile long beach and we're going to lounge on it. Yes, all three miles of it.

A couple of lighthouses are on the island as well. Cas has a fascination with lighthouses, so of course we have to see them. One is attached to kind of museum and you can climb the 178 steps to the top and see the entire island and Hilton Head, which is about 30 minutes away. There is another lighthouse out in the middle of the water, but you can get to it on low tides I guess.

There are all sorts of shops and random stops on the island so we are going to spend our day rockin' that stuff out.

Side note: Anybody watching CNN today? First, where's the real news? Second, did you see the video of those dudes catching a shark on a beach in Florida and then it bites one guys hand? Yeah, CNN is great... sometimes.

Tuesday... I had the best BBQ of my life from Sweet Leaf Smokehouse. Cas and I walked through the historic district of Savannah to find this little place. We passed all sorts of squares and parks that could make any city jealous. Once the BBQ was found, oh man. I had the pulled pork with a blueberry beer, which was a perfect match. The baked beans were the best I've ever had. In fact, I'm starting to crave it as I'm writing about it. We will probably eat there again before we leave. If we leave...

We might stay one more night either in Savannah or at another destination on the way back such as Knoxville or Louisville again. I don't know; we haven't decided yet.

We went to the Moon River brewing company on Tuesday as well. It was pretty good. Well, the one beer we had was good. They were out of quite a few things, specifically the cider. That's what I wanted. Boo! Anyway, we might stop back by there for a snack or something. But today it's all about seafood because we are heading to the coast. There are little seafood shacks everywhere that all boast the best seafood in town. They all serve locally caught seafood though so I'm sure it's fresh.

Anyway, Cas and I will post plenty of pictures from the coast later today. My brain is a little slow right now so I'm going to leave the good post up to Cas and then I will add another one later today.

Oh, here is Cas' blog, which I forgot to link on here.
