After the museum, we walked across the street to Centennial Park and watched Xander play in the olympic rings. He got so soaked, he had to drive back to my parents’ with just a diaper on.
On Memorial Day, my parents threw a big party for my sister who just finished medical school. Alas, I have no pictures from the evening. But it was very, very fun.
The next day, we got back in the car to spend some family time in Savannah and Tybee Island. Here are some photos from our days at the beach…
We also did some touristy things, including a walk along River Street which proved to be too much for Xander and resulted in a long afternoon nap.
