Georgia's Coast

I just returned from a day trip, with one of my co-workers, to Jekyll Island and St. Simons Islands. Having seen them all, I can now officially make my decision about which of Georgia's islands I like the best. Trouble is: I think it's a tie. St. Simons is great. It's a wonderfully laid back beach community, with great little shops and lots of charm. Hilton Head is a wonderful place too. Hilton Head is bigger and has more to do, and it seems to draw a more sophisticated crowd than any of the others. It also has more sophisticated shops and restaurants. I do know that I was not really impressed with Jekyll. It is a great beach, but it was just smaller and not as pretty as St. Simons.

With all of that said, I was glad that we got to witness 4 sea turtles being released back into their natural habitat after rehabilitation at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. We then headed up to St Simons Island, and saw the lighthouse, which was also fun. I just love visiting lighthouses! We didn't climb this one, because we were just tired from the heat.

It was such a humid day that we couldn't stand to remain outside. After being out for a total of 3-4 hours, we were beat! Today may have been the most humid day since I've been here. I guess I'm being prepared to return to NOLA!

Speaking of going home: I get home in 9 days! I am anxious to get back home for a short time, to my house and to spend time with YOU: my family & friends! See ya soon!
