The first day we visited Tybee was the last day of our four day exploration trip to Savannah. When I searched my Instagram photos for this post, I found out that it was 219 weeks ago the first time we crossed the Lazaretto bridge. We were scouting for a new place to start over. We […]
Each year, when October rolls around, Tybee transforms into a much different place than it was, only two short months ago. It returns to a quaint, quiet small town that just happens to have a beach. US #80 is no longer a nine mile, two lane parking lot. We can go grocery shopping whenever we […]
It’s 4:29 am. Everyone in my home is asleep. The fall temperatures are cool enough that our windows are open and the air conditioner is off. The only sound I hear is a constant roar in the near distance of the ocean. I assume it is high tide as the sound is much closer than […]
Tybee is an island filled with people that like to have fun. Which means there is usually some kind of party or celebration most any night of the week. Tybee is not just a pretty place to live at the beach. It is a tight knit community of 3,000 people that care about each other […]
There are several events a year that happen on Tybee and they all make me smile. But the one that is the closest to my heart is Surfers For Autism. SFA or Surfers for Autism, is an annual event on Tybee. The Boca Raton, Florida based organization travels to various locations in Florida, Georgia, Puerto […]

It’s labor day weekend. The final hurrah of summer for most of the country. Our island has slowed down in the last week. There was threat of Tropical storm Erika visiting us. Even though her travel plans changed, many tourists diverted their plans too. Cancelling reservations on what turned out to be a fantastic sunny […]
Out of my plastic cup, I sip steaming coffee and I wipe the sleepiness from my eyes. The sky is dark except for one bright planet that is still visible, pinned in the sky over the ocean. I am sitting in my minivan listening to the waves gently roll into the sand. A rhythmic pattern […]
Did you know that for the past three years, we have had a strip club on Tybee? Wait a minute, I must explain, its a bacon strip club. Yeah…I know, like you needed one more reason to fall in love with Tybee. Our good friends Tyler and Brenda started the Tybee Bacon club. They used […]
I was a stay at home mom with five kids. One in private school, one in middle school, one in elementary school, one in preschool and a nursing baby attached at the hip. I was in two car pools. I volunteered at two schools. I made home cooked meals for my family seven days a […]
