Lowepro camera backpack review

Would we buy it again?	Yes
Value	High
Ease of use	Easy

For a while now we have been struggling with how to carry all of the kid-o’s stuff and all of the camera gear. It’s a funny thing, before kids we simply would leave the camera out and about or toss it in a simple backpack. That really does not work in the post-kid world, and keeping a nice camera in a bag that does not protect it is not the best idea either.

St Simons Island

Tue, 19 Dec 2017 05:00:00 -0500

For our last major excursion before heading home from our Savannah trip, we ventured out from Jekyll Island and island hopped to St. Simons Island. From the Northernmost point of Jekyll Island, you can just make out the lighthouse with the naked eye, but driving there takes about a half hour. We stopped at two different places. Fort Frederica National Monument and St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum. If you’re looking to check either of those out make a mental note that there are a lot of restaurants near the lighthouse, and not too many near the fort.

Forsyth Park and Downtown Savannah

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 18:00:00 -0500

On our third and final day in Savannah we started at Forsyth Park and wished we had visited it earlier. While going to the ‘park’ seems like something that you can do anywhere, it’s a bit different in Savannah. Aside from the open areas and beautiful scenery, Forsythpark has not one, but two playgrounds. Additionally, there is a indoor eatery with bathrooms nearby - important for those with kids. This naturally became the highlight of that day for the boys, and at the three year old’s request, we returned at the end of the day to the park for a little more playground time. Between the fountain, trees, and playground, this is worth a stop.

Georgia Railroad museum in Savannah

Mon, 20 Nov 2017 07:00:00 -0500

While the Georgia Railroad museum is cool for almost anyone, it’s amazing for little boys. In the weeks preceding our trip we must have watched the YouTube video more times than I’d like to admit at the three year old’s request. It was even comical that when we pulled into Red Gate campground our three year old asked “Where’s the train?”

Steam Engine

Here’s one of the steam engines - when we visited, the steam engines run on Friday and the weekends. This might change, so if steam is your thing - call to check. Otherwise, it’s diesel for you - they are cooler (temperature-wise) if you plan on riding in the cab.

Forts and Lighthouses of Savannah

Mon, 13 Nov 2017 18:50:09 -0500

Ah, forts and things with stairs are both things that our kids love. We love that we can check box that we took our kids to historic sites on vacation, and let’s be realistic Dan loves anything with cannons. For our first day of adventures we decided to go to the Tybee Island island area to see the lighthouse and forts.
