Day 7 - Back To The Shack And Heading Home

Briana was really craving crab being so close to the water, so back to the Crab Shack we went. Unfortunately, it's about 30 minutes in the opposite direction from home, so that added on time to our trip. But we had our girl back with us, so crab it was.

 

It was a gorgeous morning. It made it super difficult for us to want to check out of the hotel and leave Savannah. 

 

Very tough...

 

 

 

It was time to say goodbye (I wish Bri could have spent some more time at the hotel)...

 

 The drive once again was really nice...

We were a bit early getting to Tybee (the restaurant doesn't open until noon), so we passed this little hut on the way there. We laughed at the name of the business for like 5 minutes (just like 8 year old boys), and of course we stopped to get some hot nuts...

 

I have to say the hot boiled peanuts were delish.

It was finally shack time (take 2)...

This was the view from our table this time...

Us...

We didn't order shrimp this time and got snow AND king crab. I wish I had gotten a better pic of the king crab - it was HUGE. So delish...

You will notice Briana admiring one of the kitties walking around the restaurant. Full disclosure, Doug noticed some cat yak near our table. Not sure if that kitty was the culprit. Bri and I didn't notice it at first (thank goodness) and he didn't tell us because he didn't want to gross us out. Which it totally would have (and we would have moved tables). But, B and I did eventually notice it after lunch. I guess that is the risk you take eating at an outside restaurant with cats walking around. I deal with my own cat yaking at home and I really don't want to deal with it on vacation - but it is what it is.

We have eaten at the Crab Shack numerous times and have never experienced that issue before, but there's always a first time. So if you eat there, watch your step. Ugh.

After a very nice lunch (besides the cat issue), it was time to head out.

The first three hours of the drive was super smooth. Shocking for the weekend before July 4th. We did hit all sorts of weather - sun, clouds and rain - all in a 5 hour drive...

 

And then we hit south of Atlanta - it straight up sucked. Traffic was horrible. Stop and go. Stop and go. We ended up finally getting off of the highway closer to home and went back roads. It just wasn't worth trying to stick it out.

We were so happy to finally get home and see Mei Mei. 

Despite some personal stuff going on in our lives, we had the most amazing trip. If Bri picks SCAD to go to for college, I wouldn't be mad about it. I'd miss her so much, but I'd get to go to Savannah a whole lot to visit.

Thanks SCAD for giving Briana a wonderful experience...

Who knows - maybe we will be back next year?

Thanks for reading all about our Savannah adventure!!!
