More Savannah Adventures

Good Monday morning! Sorry for my lack of posts last week. I've been super busy at work closing out 2011, that I haven't had time to be a slacker and blog at work :-) I will briefly share about my weekend. I made a flying trip back up to Savannah on Friday after work. I think it will be my last for awhile. Going two weekends in a row about killed me considering its a good 4+ hour haul up there from Tallahassee and making that trip after working a full day isn't exactly fun. I did however go up there prepared and downloaded an audiobook, so I could at least get my read on while driving, which really helps pass the time. I was just sad I didn't download two books, because I finished up my book in about hour 1 of the drive back to home to Thomasville. Bummer.

We had a fairly low key weekend. David introduced me to the new guy that he hired at work that has become a good friend of his and his lovely girlfriend. So we all four pretty much hung out all weekend together. For dinner on Saturday night, we all headed to this place out on Tybee Island: The Crab Shack!

 I have to say this place is a major tourist trap. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. They had alligators outside and of course the lovely feral cats of Tybee Island roaming around. I have to say that the food was great! So worth the drive out there and with it being January, it wasn't crowded at all, which was a definate plus. Below is the menu:

The four of us decided on the Captain Crab's Sampler for 4, which is basically a low country boil. It. was. fabulous! And a ton of food.

They had our food out in like 2 minutes it seemed after we ordered. And look at all the food they brought out. It was enough food to feed 8 people instead of just 4. They had shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, crayfish, snow crab legs, king crab, and mussels. It was so good. I haven't had crayfish in forever and David and I laughed because Paden and Lauren have never eaten them before so we had to show them how it was done. They told us the last time they had eaten at the Crab Shack and ordered the same sampler, they left the crayfish on the plate because they didn't know how to eat them. Well, thanks to two Blountstown rednecks, now they do!

Well, that's about all I've got for you today. The picture above of dinner was the only picture that I took this weekend. I was a major slacker in that area. Next time I go back to Savannah, I will try and get the camera out more.
