Date Day (Saturday)

We learned a lot at our marriage retreat on how to improve our communication skills and have a stronger marriage. We also learned that we have a pretty good marriage! It was a really good seminar that the Army put on and we were so glad that we went. Saturday after all day in lectures they let us out and "made" us go on a date that we got to plan ourselves. Tom and I decided to first go out for an ice cream cone by the hotel. We then headed over to Tybee Island to see the light house and to spend some time on the beach. After the beach we were hungry so went to a touristy restaurant "The Crab Shack" and had some really good crab legs. After we got back to the hotel, we showered and went out to dinner at a British restaurant and then went back to the Irish Pub since we had such a good time the night before. We ended up staying out until MIDNIGHT! We had so much fun spending time together that we completely lost track of time!


The light house. 178 steps to the top...

... and I climbed the whole thing and was even brave enough to go out on the balcony and take a look at the view!

Tom's first time in the Atlantic Ocean... He thinks? We took a really long walk on the beach after playing in the water for a little bit. The ocean water was so warm it felt like bath water.

The waves looked really neat crashing up against the rocks. I tried to stand on the rocks to get my picture taken but the lifeguard blew his whistle at me... :)
