We departed the campground around 06:30 and pointed our little caravan south. We got thru the DC traffic without any problems and hit I95 for the long haul. It was a pretty uneventful drive, we took a few breaks along the way and arrived at the Rivers End Campground on Tybee Island around 18:30 and got settled in. We passed through Savannah on the way to Tybee, but wanted to go back for dinner and walk the streets a bit so we did. We parked the Van at the Hilton Garden Hotel, where most of the family was staying and walked to the Savannah Market Place to find a place to eat. We decided to go light stopped a the wings place and got a good seats where we could see/hear the band on the market place. The market place is very similar to what you see in Burlington on Church St, with the exception that the bars are on the street and you can take your adult beverage with you.
After dinner we walked the water front and we impressed with the barges going by, and having visited Savannah the year before did not fall for the guy selling palms made into flowers this time.... :-).
We knew that Randy and Sue were at a rehearsal dinner so did not expect to see them, but they did come to the water front after their engagement. It was good to catch up with them. We were hopeful that Don and Louann would make it in time to have drink, but after a long day of driving we decided we needed some shut eye so headed back to camp, they did arrive in time to meet Randy and Sue.
Tomorrow we hope to tour Tybee a bit and then go to the wedding in the afternoon.
It was a long but fulfilling day. City Market is always fun, the rain drove out the live music but we had finished eating anyway and wanting to go to the wterfront. Drinks with Randy, Sue, JJ and Omar a bonus!
