It's almost midnight and I'm laying on a bed in Paula Deen's guest room.
I've got my laptop in front of me, my cell phone next to me, and eight pretty pillows behind me. I should also mention the two extremely heavy lids located above my eyeballs- today was a whole lotta fun, but like most of the trip, it was spent shooting lots of photos and visiting lots of friendly folks, so I'll probably keep tonights post short and sweet- just like Tybee!
Today was our last full day on the island, and due to a reservation mix up (my fault), we're spending our last night at Paula Deen's beach house.
Oops!
(Thank you again Diane, and sorry about that Laurie!)
Although Paula isn't here right now, there is a life-sized cardboard cut-out of her in the living room, so it sort of feels like she's hanging out with us.
The whole trip has been such a fun experience, and I am definitely looking forward to coming back to Tybee a.s.a.p!
I'm also looking forward to blogging about all of our adventures when I get back home.
We slept in some incredible houses...
(The kitchen at "Just Beachy")We stayed up way past our bedtime with our favorite author and her fabulous family...
(Mary Kay Andrews)We got a private tour of the inside of a movie set...
(The church from "The Last Song")We took hundreds of photos...
(Master Bedroom at "Breeze Inn")...and I made a forever friend that's just like me...
(Jane Coslick, my TyBFF)I also did a lot of shopping, sunning and cruising around on a bright yellow beach bike- so check back tomorrow night if you'd like to see more photos and read more about our trip to Tybee!

Would it be okay if I live my life vicariously through you??
As soon as you said Paula Deen's Guest room, my first thought was, I wonder what she'll make them for breakfast!! Then I saw she wasn't there. Oh well, just stick the cut out in the kitchen and pretend she did! Can't wait to see pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou've been all around my lowcountry past of my childhood and youth, I miss it so. I am so happy for you that you've had this time.
ReplyDeleteLayla--we loved spending time with you on Tybee. Andy was beside himself that he'd spent time with Kevin--the coolest dude ever! Come back next time when you don't have to work so hard.
ReplyDeleteso many questions...like...was it hard to get an interview with these semi-quasi famous people?
