We just got back from our family's trip to Jekyll Island. This year we took our good friends, the Stanfords, along with us. We were able to rent a four bedroom/three bathroom house so we had lots of room for both families to spread out. It was a lot of fun to travel with our friends! The house was big enough so that everyone had their own "personal" space. We filled our days with beaching, grilling out, napping, riding our "
Red Bug," and exploring the island. What is a Red Bug, you ask? They are electricity-powered mini-cars that are popular on the island. Since everything is so accessible all over Jekyll, it's fun and convenient to jump into your Red Bug and cruise to wherever you need to be. We rode it to the beach in the mornings, to the Clubhouse for ice cream in the afternoons, to the IGA for grocery re-stocks in the evening, and many other errands. One of our favorite things to do was take the Bug out in the late evenings and watch all of the beautiful wildlife on the Island. Deer, rabbits, shore birds, and (yikes!) even snakes! We had a great time in the Bug! I think we will definitely be renting one from now on when we visit.
On our last full day, we took the girls to
Summer Waves Water Park on Jekyll. It is a very small-scale version of White Water, and it was absolutely perfect for the girls. There were enough "thrill" rides for grown-ups and a ton of fun stuff for the girls. I had forgotten how fun a good water slide can be! Here are a few pictures from our journey. Enjoy!
"The sea does not reward those who are
too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.
One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach
- waiting for a gift from the sea."
