Trip Part Three

Although most of our trip was carefully planned, we had three delightful surprises while staying at the Skidaway Island State Park. 

The first came when we learned that our daughter, Cheryl, had bought us a Mother’s Day dinner at the Driftaway Cafe.  Located just a couple miles from our campsite on Skidaway Road, the Driftaway features what they call “Casual Coastal Cuisine.”  The service and the food were excellent – their house salad, mixed greens with a home made balsamic reduction vinaigrette, was enough to make you come back again.

The second surprise came during our trip to Tybee Island.  We went there for the day for more great seafood and a dolphin-watching cruise – the surprise came later.

  After the cruise, we went to Stingray’s

We had been there in 2007, and had the best seafood we had ever tasted.  It was so good in our memories that I was almost afraid to go back, but the food this time was just as good. The surprise came when we learned that we came to Tybee on the day of the Annual Beach Bum Parade.  Residents and visitors line the street with trash cans and pickup trucks full of water, then the people on the floats and the people on the sidewalks shoot each other with an amazing variety of huge water-guns.

We took off early, before the festivities got into full swing, but still managed to get squirted a few times before we got off the island.

The third surprise was a place called Pinpoint, but I think it is worth a post all its own.
