Well, the tree isn't, but it is too tall to fit in the main level of this house (we bought it for the tall ceilings in our last house) so I came up with the idea of stringing outdoor lights and putting it

There was a perfect spot next to the dining table to put our dog's extra large crate, and it fit just right.There was a vacuum in the closet, and we used it to try and keep up with our dog's hair.She is a golden retriever, and we thought she was molting!Hair everywhere and we kept bedroom doors closed, but we did our
best to stay
on top of it.She behaved like a pampered princess, and she wasn't crazy about the heat and the humidity.One evening we sat out
on the
porch with her, enjoying the evening in the rocking chairs, and when we came inside the BRB she collapsed
on the floor inside and sighed.She apparently was thankful for the central air conditioning!For that reason, I think we will leave her with one of our daughters the next time we visit and stay with the Mermaids.The BRB is located in a quiet neighborhood which was perfect for us.Even
better, it is located around the corner from AJ's Dockside Restaurant.Good food and perfect outdoor views of the sunset and the marsh from the outside tables.For those dinners when you would like to eat in, there is a grill in the backyard with a
cover, and we used it multiple times.We had an excellent experience with the Mermaids, and we will most definitely stay with the Mermaids when we visit Tybee Island again.
