Day Trip to Jekyll

While the guys stayed home to watch football, the kids and I took Nana on a tour of Jekyll Island.  Our first stop was the Sea Turtle Center.  We were able to see some of the turtles receiving care and we even had one of the workers talk to us for about ten minutes about some of the patients and other common issues they see at the center.  It was very interesting, and Barb especially seemed to enjoy it.



 After leaving the Sea Turtle Center, we drove around the historic district and had lunch in the grand dining room at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.
 Of course no trip to Jekyll would be complete without a stop at  Driftwood Beach.  It was so foggy on this side of the island that we could hardly see anything.  I was disappointed because I really wanted Barb to see how neat the beach was.  I figured that pictures wouldn't turn out well due to the fog, so I only took a few.  As it turns out, the fog made the pictures look eerie and interesting.  I wish I had taken more.
The kids were insistent that we let them go down to the beach.  So, this was our last stop.  I knew what was going to happen, and sure enough one of the kids (Owen) came back soaked.
