The Tide Rolls In

When I begin to describe Tybee for the first time to someone who’s never been here, one of the first questions asked is, “Can you drive there or do you have to take a boat or ferry?” Then I go on to explain the two bridges with a six mile causeway that connects us to […]

Be Happy Wen…How I Started This Blog

Sitting around the concrete slab of a bar at Hucapoos, over a year ago, my girlfriends and I were having an in depth discussion on life and what brings happiness to each of us. One friend said they had a relative that would always say “I’ll be happy when…fill in the blank” when I get […]

“Fall” in Love with Tybee

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 […]

4:29am

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 […]
