Last weekend, we drove to Jekyll Island, also known as "Millionaires Island."
First, we strolled the shell-covered beach. It sounded like popcorn popping when you stepped on it!
GORGEOUS Glory Beach.
It is here, where Denzel Washington, one of my favorite actors, starred in the Civil War movie, Glory!
After the kids froze their toes off in the ocean, they ran and ran and ran some more on the local soccer field.
As if that wasn't enough, Todd spun them round and round and round.
Totally randomly cool. Hannah found a Knobbed Whelk; which is Georgia's State Seashell! What is funny, is she found it on the soccer field! Not the beach! :)
After all that running and spinning, we were all hungry for lunch.
There were about 10 squirrels that wanted us to feed them, too! They would come right up to us as we were sitting at the table.
Then, with full stomachs, we headed to Jekyll Island's 'heart' of the island. It was such a pretty day. We walked upon this MONSTROUS oak tree! So beautiful.
The Jekyll Island Club Hotel was just a dream. I can't imagine what it might cost to stay one night here!?
Being the nosy tourists that we are, we wanted to get a closer look. :) The front porch was so quaint, filled with sun chairs and rocking chairs.
And finally, we watched a Glass Blowing demonstration at Jekyll Glass Blowing Center. She was so good at her craft. Notice, she isn't wearing any gloves!
With each tool, or process, she explained what she was doing, so we could understand the whole project. It is so intricate. I really appreciate the value of these little figurines, now more than before.
She made a Christmas ornament and a dolphin with a santa hat! Just amazing.
It was a great family day.
Blessings,
Steph
