We got up somewhat early (8 AM) this morning and headed to the Lighthouse here on Tybee Island. Since we didn't get to go up the one on Hunting Island, SC, we were darn sure to go to this one.

It was made a little differently then Hunting Island, which is made out of metal instead of brick, it is much higher (150' instead of 95'), and it was a spectacular view (I got lots of pictures) and the kids really enjoyed it. They also have the lightkeeper's house restored and several other buildings. Next door was the Tybee Island museum built at Fort Screven which talks alot about the island's history.

We retreated inside for a few hours (a really hot day) and came back out around 3 and went swimming again. The waves were fun and as we were winding down, Bridget caught a jellyfish in her lap. :( SO we rushed home and put her in a bath of hot water (Amber had just sent us an article about using hot water for jellyfish stings as the most effective way to help the pain and swelling). It seems to have worked as 30 minutes later, she was fine with minumal signs of the sting.. still, not a fun experience for her.

Grandma Mary got knocked down twice by bigger waves as well, which she didn't appreciate much.. I suspect that it will be another couple of years before she goes back into the water again. :)

I started to read a Pat Conroy book (Beach Music) which was left here and I am really enjoying it... even being a fast reader, I doubt that I'll be able to finish it by tomorrow night.

Only 2 more nights and one full day left!
