DAY 8, TOUR IN A GOLF CART, HAPPILY

Day 8, Tour In a Golf Cart, Happily

It's the only way to tour Tybee!  We cruised the streets, those inland and those bordering the island's edge, in our rented golf cart.  As we saw by signs on the slatted walls, written words on door frames, and the rare sea creature cutouts, these were blissful residents enjoying sand, salty sea and sun.

Enjoying the slow ride and open breeze, we deliberately searched the beach colored homes of pastel blue, deep purple, and sea green for their placards...
Sandy Feet Retreat
The Get A'Weigh
Made In The Shade
The Beach Bum

Spencer cheerily tried out a few word combinations himself.  He dreams of his own home on Tybee someday...
Bays Bay,
Surfin' U.S.Bays,
Paradise Bays, and his very favorite,
Beached Bays.

We also searched River Street for places to eat.  Huey's had a good down-home, hearty breakfast.
The Cotton Exchange had seafood scampi and chowder. 
Spanky's pleases the kids with chicken fingers and pizza.  
But River House got our vote for fantastic Southern specialties, especially their desserts.


At the River House, Mary noted, "Scallops, a $13 entree and we go at it with plastic forks!"  You can thank coronavirus hype for that one.  Plasticware was handed out to reduce the spread of covid.

The waitress returned serving our Southern Pecan pies and Creme Brûlée pudding, "How's everybody doing here?"  Spencer answered with a frown turned laugh, "Horrible! I want more..."

We had tips for our waitress, LOL: 
John, "Don't take any wooden nickels."
Pamela, "Don't mistake that for a Skittle!"
Mary, "Charlie in the third."
Calvin, "Don't eat the candy in the bed."
Spencer "Don't sleep next to a duck!"

But the all time favorite is "Don't eat the pink stuff in the wall, it's not cotton candy."

When Spencer pulled out his money to pay his bill, John caught a glimpse of the green and immediately cautioned, "You did a good job printing that one.  It almost looks real."

Back at the motel, in our 5 person mini suite, while we were sitting to chill, and reclining on the pull out hide-abed, and clicking on the boob tube, Spencer asked Calvin, "Which t.v. shows are good?"

When it comes to questionable television programming we have a three strike rule for violence and obscenities, mostly enforced by moi.  So, Calvin's response was no surprise.

"The ones' where mom says, "Shut it off!" ROFL

One of us proclaimed, "I'm still on vacation time."
Another said, "I'm on Tybee time."

Speaking of time, Mary was going home early via Allegiant Air.  We had to take her to the airport that afternoon.  To lift our spirits John joked, "Wait'll 5 p.m., you'll see her tail fly!"

Remember, flying's not the way to visit the island, you must tour in a golf cart.  You never know, you might spy a beachcomber's house cheerily proclaiming its "The Happily Ever After" and then where would you be?  Why, you'd be on Tybee!  Happily!
