I like Ann Hart's blog: SouthernMamas.com. She always has the scoop on things to do in Savannah for families, and other relevant content for moms. For example: Skidaway Island outdoor activities listed for this week.
Thanks, Anne, we're overdue for a trip to a state park - great listing!
City kids need their nature-time scheduled in, this feels weird to me, the same way playdates felt like an awkward way to socialize - I always imagined troops of children playing together as the healthiest environment - but we have no kid neighbors, no cousins, and all our friends live in different areas of town. So we have to schedule free time for running around and playing pretend. And we have to schedule in trees and dirt.
Luckily Savannah is tucked between a lot of wild environments. The beach landscape is a festival for the senses no matter how many times you experience it. And the marshy forests that bridge the barrier islands are dramatic and fertile. Skidway Island State Park has a trail we love to trek for our dose of moss-draped palms, muddy crab homes and a cycle of blooming brush.
It's too hot for the newborn to attend. And I've got her milk. But since our springy, muscle-growing five year old is soon going to spend his days in a kindergarden classroom, it's the perfect time for a wilderness visit with dad.
