Six: Savannah, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia.


I have sand stuck in my ears.

Joey and I rocked the beach today, heading over to Tybee Island. In 20 minutes we went from historic Savannah to the slightly more tropical-looking Tybee, that features summer beach homes painted teal.

We visited the lighthouse, climbing all 17,382 steps to the top. It's a really big lighthouse.

After climbing down, we ducked into some of the historic homes around the lighthouse and I saw the smallest bathtub I've ever seen and a really creepy set of old stairs.
Joey and I would both be yellow little wussies if we'd lived back in the 1830's.

We took off for some lunch at a joint called Sting Ray's that had a ton of outdoor seating. I had some grouper--the "local favorite" on the menu. It wasn't jaw-dropping, but it was still pretty good. The breading was perfectly browned but a little too bland for my taste. The hush puppies were the golden tickets.

"These hush puppies put Long John Silver's to shame," Joey declared, his mouth gaping open in awe.

Post-lunch we lounged on the beach for a while, taking pictures and chilling out.
Now we're back at the hotel, getting ready for dinner and a crazy night of Rock & Roll Bingo.

(Why is it Rock & Roll Bingo? Because they give you a lot of booze with the Bingo card. Time to party like a sub-par middle-aged rock star!)

X's and O's!
