We planned on staying at Skidaway Island right outside of Savannah, GA, but by the time we got there, it was all full. We called around and ended up staying at a KOA right off of I-95.
We got rained out early the next the morning as the tent floor was getting everything wet. The propane tanks for Cindy's camp stove were empty, so we ate sandwiches for dinner. We also neglected to bring a hammer for our tent stakes, so we borrowed one from the nice man from the next tent.
They had a "bird sanctuary" as they set out a pile of bird feed in the morning. In a cage, they were actually raising baby mute swans. These swans are originally from Europe and are an invasive species here in the U.S. as they are competing against the native tundra swan. This place is actually raising an invasive species.We went to a Waffle House for breakfast the next morning. From a nearby Walmart, we bought some propane, a hammer, and some milk. Steve found a tree frog on the floor. I set it free in some nearby trees.

Sorry about skidaway island! We camped one night there, it was nice, but the racoons ate all our food! They came and unzipped, yes, I said they UNZIPPED our soft cooler with their "fingers" and had a party!
I can't wait to see all the pics from the places you guys stayed, and good job on the budget!! I think we did our ten day trip to Florida for $900! (We cheated by staying at my grandma's for two nights)
Sounds like fun. Except the rain part. I'm not very outdoorsy, so I would've been very grumpy that day. You seem to be a trooper though. How nice to get away.
