Tybee Island Getaway

I went to Tybee Island, GA with 5 of my girlfriends this weekend. We stayed in a cute cottage about 1 block from the beach. Tropical storm Barry came through on Saturday so we stayed inside! We went down there to scrapbook, so we didn't mind the weather. This picture is of my friend, Missy, and me outside of my new house in SC. She went scrapbooking with me and came all the way from Ohio. We had a wonderful time--I'm just speechless at how happy I was to see my friends from far away!

We moved into our new house here in Summerville in April and we love it. We're the only house in a cul-de-sac with lots of woods behind us. We moved because we wanted to be closer to the main areas of Summerville and also to leave behind some stuff we didn't care for in our other neighborhood!

I'll add some more pictures of our girls' getaway weekend when my friends email them to me!

Tall Ships and Dragons

A couple of weekends ago they had a Tall Ship Festival downtown. I think around 8 ships sailed into the harbor and were docked all weekend. We went to see them and they were so pretty. One of the ships, the Gloria, from Columbia sailed into the harbor with the crew standing on the arms of the masts, some were 100 feet up. After we checked out the ships, Michael discovered the fountain at the park and since we had a change of clothes with us for him, we let him get in. You can see for yourself what fun he had.

You know from previous posts that Michael is now into costumes, thus my name for this post. He's only worn the dragon costume out in public once--to a Mexican restaurant. My aunt, Georgia, gave some new ones to him that her sons have already gone through and this was one of them.
