Will my 9 and 6 year old be super bored? Will i be super bored? Thinking about flying down for a long weekend in early August.
Probably but on the brightside...your kids might be able to see a tropical storm up close.
Go to Hilton Head, and day trip to Savannah for a few hours.Will my 9 and 6 year old be super bored? Will i be super bored? Thinking about flying down for a long weekend in early August.
Thursday afternoon/evening - pool, walk, dinner. Friday - sight see, pool. Saturday - beach (Tybee Island). Sunday morning fly home. Can take Allegiant (yuck) direct for like $90 round trip.
Actually Allegiant is very good at what they do. They are great for nonstop flights between secondary markets/airports. The planes (A319/320s) are clean. I haven't had any major issues.Thursday afternoon/evening - pool, walk, dinner. Friday - sight see, pool. Saturday - beach (Tybee Island). Sunday morning fly home.

Tybee doesn’t impress me. Now Hilton Head...my kids loved vacationing there. They still pine to go backMan, love Savannah but really don’t care for the quick trip out to Tybee.

Best Kid-Friendly Things to Do in Hilton Head, South Carolina | Atlanta Parent MagazineWhat's the problem with Tybee? What's the allure of Hilton Head? Legit asking. Hilton Head will run the cost of this up exponentially, though I could do a night there using a free night certificate from Marriott. Then pay the other two (which will be like $800 min).
We have a "beach trip" to Ocean City (Tuttle's suggestion) planned for the end of August. This is just a quick getaway. I dig the Southern Gothic stuff and kind of see this trip as New Orleans light.
Edit: Actually, the Marriotts on Hilton Head won't accept points that weekend so no certificate redemption available.
Edit 2: Could I day trip to Hilton Head instead of Tybee?
Wouldn't touch it from June until September.
You get used to it. I was born and raised in NY. First year in Atlanta I was dying from April-Sept.Yeah we walked around Charleston last July, and I kept thinking to myself "this would be the most perfect place on Earth... if I could breathe."
I’m wearing cardigans
AccurateI could definitely picture you posting in the OT board while wearing this shirt.

Hope you found a place in HH to stay. It’s prime season there right nowSo here is the plan at this point (which i've modified based on some suggestions here).
Fly down Thursday and do touristy stuff in Savannah that afternoon/evening. Find a way to get to Hilton Head on Friday and Saturday. Fly home Sunday morning.
That's not a lot of time, but the tickets are $90 round trip, so we can always go back again if we dig it. I know the boys will dig Hilton Head (they'd probably dig Tybee too). Frankly, they'd be cool with Onondaga Lake if there were a few little waves and some sandy area. They just love the ocean.

A significant UBER bill between Savannah and HH. Might want to consider a rental, which will also make getting around HH a bit easier.We're booked two nights @ the Marriott. Used a rewards certificate and some points to cover the stay because Marriott was being stingy with redemption options. Going to pack real light and just uber it up there from the airport. The last day, we'll uber it back down to Savannah and spend the afternoon evening. Thinking of staying at the Andaz.
Any food recommendations for Hilton Head or Savannah? Remember, I'll be there with a 9 and 6 year old so a place like The Olde Pink House isnt really an option. In Savannah, I've read about some diner that serves great grill cheese, and The Pirate House. Both seem like decent options.
