OH NO! THEY DIDN'T?!

So listen to this . . . On February 5th, 1958 there was an incident. An F-86 fighter collided with an B-47 offshore of Tybee Island. In case they crashed and to save the aircrew if the B-47 did crash they jettisoned the 7,600 pound Mark 15 nuclear bomb that was on board. Yup. There have been unsuccessful searches for it. It's still out there . . . somewhere in Wassaw Sound off the shores of Tybee Island. Whaaaat!? 

Today Tim and I went to, you guessed it, Tybee Island. Not to look for a nuclear bomb but to check out a few other things out there. First we made a quick stop at the Tybee Island Lighthouse. Found out they are not dog friendly nor are any of the beaches there. It's a $290 fine if caught on the beach with your dog. We did however find a nice little hidden dog park on Tybee Island right behind the police station. 

One very interesting stop we made out there, that is very dog friendly, is Fort Pulaski. It's designated as a National Monument. Construction began in 1829. Cost $1 million and took 25 million bricks to do it. With walls that are 7 1/2 feet thick and made of solid brick it was believed to be unbreachable. During the Civil War and with new technology the Union army used rifled cannon and compelled the Confederate troops inside Fort Pulaski to surrender. The siege was a landmark experiment in the history of military science and invention.

Fort Pulaski was a very interesting stop. The architectural work and thick mass of the walls is pretty impressive. There is plenty to see and explore. It even has a moat and drawbridge. It's a special place and glad that it is being preserved. 

Just so happens that a place called The Crab Shack was right down the street. A friend had recommended us stop in there while we were in town. Actually she made us promise to stop. So we did. WOW! What a find!!!  Because it's a little off the beaten path you would never know this place exists unless you did a search for top restaurants or unless a trusted friend recommended it. What fun we had! It's very pet friendly. Jett got a lot of attention especially after she ate the bowl that they brought her water in . . . Jett happens!
