Cakes and Crabs . . .
Jan’s birthday morning started out with Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee, along with the last two of their Pumpkin Munchkins (holes) that we bought last week in Williamsburg, VA.
I had planned to get Jan the new Kindle Paperwhite, but when I went to order it from Amazon last weekend I found they were on a 4 to 6 week wait.
Bummer!
So she got a raincheck. Maybe she’ll get it by Christmas.
Speaking about Amazon, yesterday I ordered a couple of things from them to be delivered Friday under their Amazon Prime Two Day Free Shipping. However the confirmation email said it would be delivered today, after only one day. It turns out that both items were shipped from their Columbia, SC warehouse. about 150 miles up the road.
And the UPS guy brought the package right to our site. Neat!
I’ve still been thinking about our Snap, Crackle, Pop, electrical problem yesterday. One thing occurred to me was that it might be something with the slide since it’s right there under Jan. So, since I’d rather find out we had a problem with the slide today, rather than next week right before we’re supposed to pull out.
But as it turns out, and luckily for us, the slide seems to work fine. So it’s on to something else.
During the day Jan got birthday calls from our daughter Brandi, our son Chris, and Jan’s sister Debbie, so she was a happy camper.
About 4pm Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed down to Tybee Island, GA for Jan’s birthday dinner at The Crab Shack, all well-known local seafood place on the banks of Tybee Creek.
We ate outside on the deck,
looking out over the waters of the creek.
The food was fantastic, even though we had to share with several feline visitors. Strangely, they’re very well behaved. They don’t try to jump up, they don’t fight over the food you drop. They just sit there patiently and stare up at you. A real guilt trip.

Accompanying us to dinner tonight were Peggy and Dave, who are parked a couple of sites down from Nick and Terry. They’ve been full-timing since 2009 and have run into Nick and Terry several times in the past.

If you’re in the Savannah area, The Crab Shack is another must-eat place to visit.
We do the hard work finding these places so you don’t have to.
Getting back to the park a little before 8pm, we went over to Nick and Terry’s rig to find that Terry had baked Jan a birthday cake – a Red Velvet birthday cake.
And it was delicious, so much so we all had two pieces. Jan and I really appreciate Terry going to this trouble. It really means a lot to us.
