Tybee Vacation Rentals Concierge and Tybee Information Site

I am a grandparent, and those of you who are also grandparents know that nothing’s too good for our grandchildren. We’ll spend far more than we mean to to get just the right gift, take just the right trip, or do just the right activity for our beloved grandchildren.

Tybee Island, Georgia is the IDEAL grandchildren’s paradise. We have THE BEACH, but we have far more. For example:

–THE BEACH – just renourished, it is clean, beautiful, has waves for mini-surfers (our mayor even surfs), has easy access to restaurants and restrooms, and is generally just wonderful for all ages.

–FT. PULASKI – right at the entrance to Tybee, this fort is fun for all ages. There’s a movie about it, there are cannons and they are fired every weekend, there are gun demonstrations, the kids can climb up on the walls, they can visit the barracks, they can go into the demilune tunnels, they can go over the bridge and see the gators sunning themselves on the moat edges, they can see the old cannonballs in the sides of the walls, they can visit the prison, and the shop has some cool kids stuff for souvenirs.

–THE MARINE SCIENCE CENTER- This wonderful “aquarium” has many varied fish and wildlife found on Tybee. There’s a touch-tank where kids can actually handle marine life. The Center offers wonderful beach discovery walks for all ages, letting the kids “discover” critters found in and around the sand and sea. Continue Reading »

POSITIVELY PINK!!!!
WHAT A HOOT!!!! Another smash success and the guys outdid themselves in their “bra-finery.” Plan on next year’s event.

The Savannah Arts Academy’s Theatre Department under the direction of Andrea Verdis, Theatre Department Chair, presented their fall play, The Katrina Project: Hell and High Water.

The play is an emotional journey into the hearts and souls of Hurricane Katrina survivors and is based on actual interviews, collected stories and found texts. The play follows a diverse group of characters as they reflect on and experience the devastation, heartbreak, anger and ultimately, the hope of thousands affected by this Category 5 storm.

Savannah Arts Academy will be taking the production to the American High School Theatre Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland in August of 2010 which is part of the international Edinburgh Fringe Festival held every year. Savannah Arts Academy is one of 43 high schools from across the country selected for this honor.

Proceeds from the production went to help send the 25 student actors to the prestigious event in Scotland.
