The trip is complete. The trip was mostly good. Hot as two rats screwing in a wool sock.
The Bohemian was nice, I've stayed there before but just for a night or two, this time for 5 nights was great, the staff was exceptional. We had our dog with us, so everyone remembered our names, our dogs name, treated us great, they really went above and beyond. We had a balcony over river street. Nice view, the roof top bar is very nice and the food in both restaurants is great. As a Platinum Elite member with Marriott, you get a voucher for 2 "Continental" breakfasts in the morning, but the restaurant told me the first day that it was worth $28 in cash. So the first day we got two normal meals, but after that, I just said... "How much bacon can I get for $28" They gave me a huge box of bacon 3 days in a row. Then I got as many muffins as $28 would get me, which was about 15 muffins. They were super cool about it. We met family for breakfast at rented houses, so this aloud us to just bring something over.
Point of fact, if you bring over a box of bacon you are automatically popular with your inlaws, no matter how much of an asshole you actually are.
We went to the Mighty 8th Museum. The Pirates house was a big hit. Fireworks were pretty damn good. Kevin Barry's was downstairs from my hotel, solid as ever. We didn't do a lot of restaurants, we cooked at one of the rented houses two nights, we bought two filets and made crab cakes one night and then did chicken cordon blu another. One night we got 100 pieces of Popeye's fried chicken and went to a public park. There were some youth football teams training there, so we only ate about 50 pieces of chicken and gave them the rest then had the best water balloon fight of all times. We had 500 of those easy fill water balloons and had my wife's family against about 40 little football players ages 8-11. It was awesome. I was creaming mutha****as left and right.
We went to Tybee, and as advertised it was a dumpster fire. There were some good parts though. We had a nice lunch there at this Crab Shack place, the kids loved it, they had live alligators, parrots and a butt load of cats.
Here are some pics.

Upstairs at Kevin's (pouring one for the boys of 1/75)
Me and the gang ready for fireworks action!
Me an the gang after fireworks action, I carried those two (42, and 51lbs) 0.8 miles back to the hotel. Glad I have plenty of experience humping a ruck.
Chicken night in the park.
My son farting in a gators face.
Not a bad view from the room
