Sun in Savannah

Last Friday we made our way to Savannah, Georgia. We stayed on Tybee Island which is right on the coast. This photo on the beach is about 3 blocks from our campground (which by the way has pine trees AND palm trees)!!!
We arrived mid afternoon so we had time to go out on a Dolphin Tour!!! We took a charter boat out to an area where the big tankers go by. Dolphins like to swim in front and alongside these huge boats (we watched this from the beach in Charleston). We saw 4 or 5 dolphins around our boat, swimming and jumping around. They were much harder to photograph than the whales as they are much quicker! We were all very excited
to see them, but Rianna was just beside herself!!! It was a very cool experience!!
We spent the next afternoon walking around the downtown historical district of Savannah. Tons of beautiful houses, squares, and gardens. We stopped in Northern Florida the next night on the way to Disneyland.
The MacGregor's have decided that we really like Florida!!!! We finally have been having nice weather and it is sooooo beautiful here.

We are currently staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground. We have had difficulty getting internet access so the blog entries might get a little behind, but we are all fine. We are here until next Wednesday. The campground is fully booked for the Thanksgiving weekend, so we have to try to get another place to stay down the line. There 1200 campsites in this park, and they are all supposed to be full! After being in nearly empty campgrounds for weeks, this is a bit of a change for us.

  3. looks like the coast is cold - tough Canadians in shorts - your probably the only ones on the beach. You can always park at Walmart for a couple of days (at least you'll be close to shopping for black Friday).
