I know it's been a while since I blogged, but we have been away from home for the past week. Last Saturday we took off for Tybee Island (our home away from home). It was the time for our timeshare there. I retrieved the blogs from the computer at the library. My time was limnited and I know I didn't comment on some of the blogs and didn't blog about our activities but I was pressed for time. We had MaryJo and Carolyn with us. I was joking all week that I was driving a car full of Mother-in-laws. The trip down was cloudy and chilly. No real rain, just an occasional sprinkle. Sunday dawned really bright and beautiful. We didn't really do much except a little walking around. We went to River Street on Monday. Carolyn and I wanted to have some shrimp & grits at Huey's. As it turns out there was a tall shil docked on River Street and it was open for tours. The ship was built in 1989 in Brazil. It had been left to decay after a few years. The group called the 11 Nations bought it have done a great job in restoring it. We rally enjoyed it. It was a nice day for all of us.
The rest of the week, each got colder and colder. We stuck pretty close to home, but did the obligatory visit to Chu's and walks on the beach and pier.
All week week wherever we went we were looking for a nice, reasonable restaurant to eat at on Thursday night. We found a new place where we had never been to before. They claimed no entries over $20.00. The sample of dishes in their ad looked really good. We took a trip earlier in the day to look it over. The had a big banner on their outside sign that they had 'Early Bird Specials from $9.99 to $11.99 from 5:00 till 6:30 PM. Usually they don't open till 6:00 PM. That settled it, that was the place for us. The place is called Charly's and is located in a little 3 bedroom house on Cambell Ave. right behind the Post Office. We got there about six O'clock and found it quite charming. They had real cloth table covers and was decorated with art pieces for sale on the walls. The service was good and the food was excellent. I ordered from the reguler menu and ordered Linguine with shrimp and scallops. It was really good. I recomend the place highly.
MaryJo had to come home on Friday to be with Cathleen who was having some tests done in the hospital. I took her into the visitors center in Savannah where I turned her over to two of her grandchildren who were going home from college.
Later on Friday the three of us went to a craft show on Hutchison Island at the trade and convention center. It is the largest craft show in the south.
The trip home was rather unevetful and here I am catching up on theing.
Love.

Sounds like fun. I hope to take Maddy to Tybee before too long. Selfishly, I really want to go my own self!! :) Love ya!
Any trip to Tybee is a good trip!! I'm sorry we didn't get there this past summer. We all love that place so much!! I can't wait to tell Steve about your new restaurant find. He loves to try new and different places. It sounds like the general store / restaurant we went to in Thompson Station. We read about it in the newspaper and decided to try it. The man who owned it was a chef who was educated in Paris. The food was great and we were able to do our grocery shopping at the same time!! LOL....
Anyway, glad you're back home and can't wait to see you guys in a couple of days!!!
Love ya!!
Glad to hear you guys had such a great trip, April has never been to Tybee and I really want to go back. Maybe we can get together there this summer since it sounds like everyone wants to be there!
Life's a beach! Enjoy it!
Glad your weather was OK. Looking forward to seeing everyone from out of town over the holidays...
Tybee, Tybee, Tybee, Oh how I miss that island.
You always find great places to eat! That is a talent. Sounds like so much fun.
