The Wedemeyer Family

You should have seen the guy in the yellow shirt jump when his younger brother (son?) in the green shirt got a bite on his line. He went crazy. Too bad he couldn’t hold onto the fish. Look close near his hands and you can see it slipping out. It bounced on the pier and dropped back into the water (about a 10m drop).

The view from on the pier, looking down the beach. It was a little cold, but the kids were still having a great time.

Sarah and Sandy goofing off on the beach. If you plant your feet in the sand, the water will eventually erode the sand under you. You slowly sink in until your feet are buried. Or, you can take Sarah’s approach and just dig in straight away.

A perfect setup. I wrote my initials in the sand and then waited, camera in hand, for the surf to dare erase it. I swear, this picture looks straight off of a greeting card.

A lone picture of the cameraman, doing his best to look cool. Now I know how my father feels. Thousands of pictures and I’m in 1 or 2 of them when I beg someone to take my picture.

Two young lovers enjoying some time on the beach. Savannah and Tybee Island will always be special to us because that’s where we spent our honeymoon.

This is my favorite picture of the trip. I’m still trying to come up with a caption. Please post comments and help me come up with something funny.

“The devil came down to Georgia; he was looking for a soul to steal…” He sure looks like Charlie Daniels to me. I don’t see a golden fiddle, so I assume he lost that one and is therefore souless…

Local officials really took the Pirate Festival very seriously. Honestly, though, I was very tempted to plunder and loot their costumes. I am lucky enough to work at a place where wearing such clothing would actually gain me some respect.

Keith Richards. No doubt about it. Look here kids, see what sex, drugs, and rock and roll will do to you. Stay in school.

Local wenches. We actually asked one for dining advice. Big mistake. Cheap booze and cigarette smoke do not a fine dinner make…

A couple young pirates in training. Maybe one day we too can get drunk at local gatherings with fellow townies.

These are some pictures of Sarah and her fellow Emory presenters, Zeb and Jay. Zeb has the suit and Jay is the one with the devil horns.

Savannah is very bicycle friendly. The streets are flat and wide, and there are plenty of bike racks. SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) students seem to depend heavily on their bicycles to get around. Or, if you don’t want to pedal, you can rent a scooter-mobile (the little 2-seater seen above), although it’s pretty expensive. I think it’s only meant for tourists.

We ate at a small dive that sold sushi and teriyaki stuff. The prices were tiny, but the portions were huge. A nice, cheap restaurant is always a good find.

A couple pictures of us goofing off next to the river. Merchants were getting set up for Octoberfest. We actually bought one of the little copper lizard thingies. Sandy got me one for my birthday. Hopefully, we’ll put it out on the porch somewhere to scare people.
