The Beach!

This past weekend, I went to the beach for the first time EVER in all of my life that I can remember. Obviously, since I was born on an island in the Phillipines, I saw it at some point. I just can't remember that. Friday night, Devin and I tried to visit Savannah on our way there, but there was an underground electrical fire that blacked out power to almost all of downtown. So, we got to do a little sight seeing but not much. Then, we met up with Cory, Sarah, Paul, and Mary and traveled out to Tybee Island. That night, I got to see the ocean!!! I was so excited for this that I think everyone else was just about to shut me up for good so I could never talk about it again. Thankfully, we made it to the beach before they had to do that, though.



On Saturday, we spent time on the beach and in the water on and off throughout the day. We had fun with frisbee, sand castle building, and LOTS of swimming. The biggest shock for me was repeatedly getting salt water in my mouth until I got a better grip on keeping my mouth closed and anticipating the waves. It was really gross before that. But, even with that, I loved just spending time in the water as much as I could.






That night, we went to The Crab Shack where they feed you waaaay too much shellfish. Devin, Cory, and Paul ate raw clams, but Sarah and I refused to try them. All of us shared a giant platter of crab legs, shrimp, mussels, crawfish, sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. We didn't even come close to finishing all of the food.



By Sunday, we were all pretty worn out and headed home after checking out in the morning. I have found that I love love LOVE the beach and am already planning my next trip to somewhere even more exotic. Can anyone say Cayman Islands? :]
