This spring, my daughter and I embarked on our second of what will hopefully become an annual trip.  My daughter, Kat, planned a lovely trip to Tybee Island, Ga.  I flew into Tulsa, OK on a Thursday evening so we could begin our road trip the next afternoon.  We chose to take a road trip because even though flying would have been quicker, we knew we would miss a lot of experiences by flying.  You just can’t duck into that little out-of-the-way shop along the way if you are on an airplane!  We had a wonderful trip with a lot of great experiences.

 

We stayed at the Beachview Bed and Breakfast  in Tybee Island, Ga.   First thing Saturday morning, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of egg rolls (the name absolutely doesn’t do this dish justice), fresh fruit, pastries and freshly brewed coffee.  We carried our food out onto the second floor veranda and enjoyed the delicious gourmet breakfast in the fresh island air.

After our breakfast, we headed to Fort Pulaski for a tour of the historic fort and one of the original lighthouses.  With a cool breeze, we had a wonderful walk through the grounds and out to the lighthouse.

Leaving the fort, we headed to several outdoor markets for shopping.  We found some wonderful, unique items for sale and enjoyed a delicious warm beverage from Tybean Art & Coffee bar.

Sitting outside, at TYBEAN Art and Coffee Bar , we enjoyed an outdoor game of checkers playing with milk jug lids!  Honestly, this little interlude was one of my favorite memories.

We had many more fun and adventuresome activities on the trip, but just taking a minute out of a busy fun-filled trip to play a game of checkers with my daughter, while I sipped a delicious Chai tea, was exactly what I needed on a relaxing Saturday afternoon.
