re: Savannah and Tybee Island

Savannah is nothing like New Orleans and Tybee doesn't suck like the other person said. Tybee is fine, especially if you are just looking for beach time with the family. I recommend doing this on North Beach over by the light house. There is also the Marine Science Center there that would be fun for your family as well.

With your kids ages, check out the Jepson Museum. If you do some of the other tours this may be included. They may also like the Railroad museum/ Children's museum as well.

My favorite place to eat downtown is The Pirates House, besides the food there are some fun legends surrounding the place. For breakfast check out Maple St. Biscuit company. Your kids would also love a store called, Planet Fun that has a bunch of toys/comics, etc.

Hope this helps! I'm a local, so if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
