We had the best weekend. Snuck out of work early on Friday and got in the truck and just went for a ride for the weekend. We headed out going north east and changed our minds about Gurley and wanted to head to the ocean. We went south along some back roads and saw some beautiful country right here in our own "backyard". We drove for a few hours and when we got to Atlanta we thought about the airport and how we have always wanted to stay on the runway.
They had a special that night $99 so we got a room. We watched the planes for a while and decided to go out to eat. We went to Malone's. We returned to the hotel and watched the planes all night and again in the morning. That was so much fun.
We got in the truck and headed toward the ocean. Savannah was the destination. We went to the old historic tourist information and they gave us a map and told us to walk around it is only 1 mile by 1 mile. It was beginning to rain we decided that was not in our best interest. (Camera would not survive) We drove to the waterfront and looked around at the shop and stuff and watched the boats come and go. It began to rain and rain so we went into a little restaurant for a drink. the rain let up and we continued our journey. I began to rain so we went back to a little shop and got an umbrella to share. $5 and it was no bigger than a postage stamp. We hung onto each other tight and kept going.
We had enough rain and headed toward the sunshine on Tybee Island. We stopped at Fort Poluski and got out and walked to the light house. Saw a snake on the way and funny little crabs. The path was beautiful and full of mosquito's. We went inside the fort and looked around at everything.
We drove by the light house and a little on the island and then stopped at the beach and put our feet in the ocean. That was the first time for Darrin to see the Atlantic Ocean. How fun is that?
We played for a while then we thought we would find a place to stay for the night. We were going to go south but decided to go back to Savannah and enjoy that place cause the rain was clearing. We got a room at the Mulberry and went for dinner on the river front at Boar's Head.
When we got up in the morning and went down to the riverfront. Darrin wanted to get some salt water taffy to take home. That was a cool store and I look forward to going back in the future. Here are a few photos.
If you can't tell we really, really, really liked this store. It began to rain again so we went back and got the truck. We drove around Savannah and then headed back home.
On the way home we were going through Atlanta and decided to go see Stone Mountain. That is Borglum's first carving. It was cool and we walked around the park a little and decided that if you didn't spend every minute of the day at the park on rides you wasted $27. We will go back at some later date maybe when we have grand kids.......
