Since we couldn't check into the beach house until 4 PM, we decided to drive up to Beaufort, SC and have lunch at the Shrimp Shack after the kids played in the pool. The drive up was nice, a lot of the old 2 lane roads have been replaced with 4 lane roads, so the trip went by very quickly.

Unfortunately, Shrimp Shack was closed (even though their door said Open Daily), so teh trip was for naught. We ate lunch at Johnson Creek Tavern and drove down to look at the light house. It was open, but expensive enough that we skipped it. $2/person to climb the light house, and $1.50/child and $4.50/adult to get into the park. We decided it wasn't worth $30 to climb the light house.. so we drove back to Tybee Island and checked into the house.

It is very cute. Small, but very functional. We went to beach, which is very nice. Lots of white sand and note too crowded. We played for a couple of hours and came back for pizza and bed.
