Apr 13 Wednesday to Apr 14 Thursday, Tybee Island, Georgia day trip

Wednesday, we toured Bluffton in the morning, but my cold was really bad so we spent the afternoon reading our books and catching 40 winks as sleeping is not easy for either of us.
Thursday, we drove to Tybee Island, just east of Savannah and on the Atlantic Ocean.  What a nice place!  We are so sorry we didn’t know about it as we would have stayed there leading up to our Hilton Head timeshare.  (We saw one RV Park) We drove to the end of Highway #80 and a sign there said Hwy #80 began in San Diego.  We enjoyed our walk around the small town, lunch at a quaint little restaurant and then an hour or so walking/laying on the wonderful beach.  The temp was 82 but you hardly knew it with the gentle breeze blowing.  I can’t remember ever enjoying the Atlantic Ocean so much. Of course in Cape Breton it was always cold!
Happy Birthday Ruth as my sister Carol would say “96 never looked so good.”  It was good talking to you this morning and hope you enjoyed supper with Kerry. We are getting excited about Shirley and Laurie’s arrival.

Tybee Island beach, Georgia outside of Savannah

It's 11 am and the beach is quiet, but the tide is out

It's 3:30 and the tide is coming in.  It has come up 5-7 feet!  The pictures don't show it but there was alot of people on the beach for a Thursday!

Can't say that we would recommend Stoney Crest, but it is 1/2 the price of Hilton Head Parks
Anyway that's it for tonight
