Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

We hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day!

Even though COVID killed yet another parade as it took down the Savannah’s Saint Patrick’s Day party, we were able to experience a some festive things.

Savannah still turned their fountains green!

Tybee Island decorated their houses. They had just started the day before we visited, so we only saw a few, but it was still really neat.

Drive Through Nativity

Although we certainly do not miss the Ohio winters, there is something about snow and lights that get you in the holiday spirit. There are not a lot of Christmas lights or decorations up at the campground yet, just our lights and two other RVs. It certainly doesn’t feel like Christmas time yet, even with our River Walk experience.

After searching online, we found a few Covid safe events. Our first event was a free one at a local church, a live drive through Nativity.

It was only held one weekend and had quite the line to get in. The church had its own app which had a music track. If you didn’t have the app, they also offered a CD for you to borrow for the car. They had their own radio station playing a live broadcast as well.

The story began with the three wise men and their three camels. These were the only animals we saw, the rest of the “live” was from the people. The town setting of Bethlehem was really neat (although I only saw 1 person wearing a mask in the scene). At the end there was even an actual baby for Jesus! The scenes, props, and costumes were quite elaborate.
