The Lighthouse

note: This post is from last Sunday.

Today we went to Tybee Island, Georgia. It is an adorable little island right off of mainland Georgia. The main attraction on tiny Tybee is it's lighthouse. Deservingly named the 'Tybee Island Lighthouse', it had been relocated 3 times and rebuilt twice! Although the view from the top was phenomenal, the climb up there was atrocious! (Auntie Julie, a long time ago you gave me a book about a real girl who had to take care of a lighthouse all alone. Now, I really appreciate how hard that must have been!) Every 8 hours one of the 3 families that tended the lighthouse had to carry whale-oil up to the top.

After the lighthouse, we went to dinner at 'The Crab Shack'. (Suggestion courtesy of Auntie Michelle!) We shared a sampler platter and it was massive! I must admit, the fresh crab leggs were my favorite. At the Crab Shack, they have alligators which you can feed. Unfortunately, they were rather tiny. :( Tomorrow is my birthday!! Yay!!
