I had a meeting in Savannah last Friday. Hmmmm. Savannah; near the beach; on a Friday afternoon. Perhaps one might want to take one's family on one's business trip and take advantage of the beach-ish proximity to have some fun.
Hence, we up and headed out on Thursday for a last minute beach trip. Two night in Savannah; one night on Hilton Head Island. Sweet!
Highlights included:
Hence, we up and headed out on Thursday for a last minute beach trip. Two night in Savannah; one night on Hilton Head Island. Sweet!
Highlights included:
- wife and kids playing on Tybee Island, learning about coastal animals and such
- a tasty dinner on River Street
- a Dolphin Cruise Saturday morning where we actually saw real, live dolphins cavorting in the ocean (how cool were they?!)
- a beachfront hotel on Hilton Head for one night
- lot's of sandy oceany fun for all
Lowlights included:
- the tiniest "suite" ever invented that barely fit 3, much less 5, in Savannah
- ten million people at the beach and pool in Hilton Head (it's summer; who knew so many people wanted to go to the beach!)
- we forgot the camera, so the only pictures we got were from my Blackberry (quality TBD)
All in all, the highs definitely outweighed the lows.
UPDATE:
Hey, these blackberry pics aren't too bad!

How do we know that those are "actual dolphins" and not someone in a costume? You expect me to believe this just because you wrote it?
But seriously, I remember hanging out in LA a few years back and seeing dolphins up near the beach. It was incredible. And in San Diego a few years back I saw seals or sea lions in the wild. I'm sure that locals take that kind of stuff for granted--just like we take fireflies for granted here in the midwest. Glad your family had such a cool time.
