Tybee Island

We went to Tybee Island with the cub scouts a few weeks ago. We had a great time! Stephan who had a fit about having to camp, but went any way... had a great time! LOL! I tried to tell him he would but he didn't believe me til it happened. I told you so Sweetie!!! LOL! The kids did good. Holly hung out with some of the other older kids that went along.

We went to the Marine Science Center first. They took us on a tour of the beach. It's amazing how many things are on the beach! Things that I thought were balls of sand were living creatures! We found all kinds things on the beach. The kids had fun. The lack of pics of Holly is not because I'm always running after John with a camera. It's because she runs from me when I have a camera! The evil little thing won't let me take her picture!!! Ugh!!!

After that we went to Fort Pulaski. We got to see them fire the cannons, do a musket demonstration and had a tour of the fort. We learned a lot about the war and the history of the fort. If you didn't notice from the name it was named after a polish guy. :) "Casimir Pulaski is remembered in many ways. In Poland, he is remembered as a man who fought for freedom on two continents, and is given the title "Soldier of Liberty." In the United States, numerous streets, bridges, counties, and towns are named for him in honor of his aid to American forces."

Friday night is the night we got there. We set up camp had a campfire and relaxed a bit. Saturday after all the activities we all went back to camp and cooked up a low country boil. I wish I had gotten pics of it but I didn't. :( They had huge pots with crab boil seasoning, potatoes, corn on the cob, polish sausage, shrimp, and cajun seasoning. You cook it all then you dump the pots on tables with newspaper. I guess this is a common thing, but it was a first for me! It was sooo good!!!

Click on the pics to go to my flickr account and you'll get to see more! :)
