Family Trip to Tybee

Mom, Dad, Aunt Melorie and I went to Tybee to stay with Family in a condo.

My mom offered for me to sleep in a bed but I wanted to sleep on the big pull out couch with my dad. It was bumpy, messed up, broken, stinky and flat if you ask me but it was worth it to get to sleep with my dad. My niece Hope, was hyper, silly and funny the whole trip. Sometimes I got annoyed with her and was thankful when she was serious. 

The weather on parts of the days was windy and rainy and sometimes we even saw lightning but it was nice on other parts of the days so we still got to the beach. I got to use the cool chair my dad made for me to go into the sand.

One of my most favorite and funny parts of the trip was the ride home. My niece and my aunt were playing loud in the back. my mom kept trying to make them be quiet. My dad had taken a short cut and got lost. My mom was going crazy. I thought it was funny and interesting. I laughed ALOT! That delayed us getting home. We got home late.

It wasn't cool but we are back home safe.
