Relaxing in Tybee

It's been a nice 3 days.  After the guys left, Connie and I continued our  morning walks to the lighthouse to watch the sunrise. 

Sister-in-law Beth drove out to Tybee to meet us for lunch on Monday - great to see her, always!

This morning we rode  bikes to the beach and then along the wet, packed sand.  It was a good ride.  The water was calm today, with a bit of foam on the shore.


After we recovered from THAT, we did our best girlie suff --- off to Savannah!  First the mall to pick up a few things for Connie's cottage.  Next, to the river front area for some shop brousing and a wonderful lunch. We had lunch at the relatively new Bohemian Hotel.  To start, a toast of prosecco on the roof top bar Rocks on the Roof. 

Check out one of  the chandeliers at the roof top bar - they are all made from local oyster shells! Very tacky and appropriate!




The roof top gives a wonderful view of the Savannah River and her large container ships and ports.




 Next, downstairs to the Rocks on the River restaurant.  Great drinks and food - I recommend both places!!



Of course we had to check out the river front shops. Yes, we picked up a few little things. 

I don't have Smokey with me so a puppy will have to do for this post. This very large pooch was waiting patiently outside of a restaurant for his master.  The big fellow is real - his little buddy is stuffed. 



A post of Savannah wouldn't be complete without a little history.  The gold leaf dome of the city hall, located along the water front, gleams.




Tomorrow is my last day here, sigh.  Another walk/bike ride and maybe a pedicure.  This being lazy and girlie is sure fun!
