Lots of Posts

There were a lot of posts about our Golden Isles trip.  Make sure you start at the first one and work up.  You will need to go to older posts to see them all.

Lover's Oak

 On Saturday evening, I finally fell asleep in the car.  Mom and Dad let me sleep and drove around Historic Downtown Brunswick.

 They found Lover's Oak.  Legend has it that Indian lovers once met under the enormous limbs of this tree which is nearly a millennium old. 

 Once again, pictures don't do these trees justice.  They are just so massive.

St. Simon's Beach

 We tried out a beach on St. Simon Island.  We got there at low tide, so there was a lot to see on the beach.  There were so many star fish!  Dad and Mom rescued them and threw them back in the water.  We also saw jelly fish and live sand dollars.

 My favorite thing about this beach was flying my kite.

 I ran up and down the beach.

 I also learned how to do tricks and make it dip close to the ground.

When I got tired of running, I just sat down and flew it.

Sea Turtle Center

 On Jekyll Island there is a Sea Turtle Center.  It has medical facilities for injured sea turtles.  All the turtles here are sick or hurt.

 They kept the turtles in big tubs.  One turtle had lost its front flipper.

Jekyll Island Beach

 We spent a lot of time just hanging out on the beach.  We found a spot that we really liked on Jekyll Island.  So these are all the pictures from various days at that spot.

 This was fun until the wave went over my head.

 Run out of the water, run back in.

 I love my name in the sand!

 Dad being silly.

 Lots of picnics.

 Whoa hole!

I took a picture of Mom to remind everyone that she was there too!

Jekyll Island's Driftwood Beach

 On Friday morning we went to Jekyll Island's Driftwood Beach.  This place was Mom's favorite.

 Mom has learned that if she lets me take pictures with her camera, I will pose for more.

 We got there about 8:30 am so the tide was really low. 

 The beach was littered with tons of fun things!  There were a lot of jelly fish, all types of shells. . .

 and Dad found this big shell, but there was a big slimy thing still living in it, so we put it back in the water.

 We even saw three dolphins right off the coast.  They were really close!



St. Simon's Lighthouse

 After we checked into our hotel in Brunswick, we drove to St. Simon Island's Lighthouse.

After much pleading, Dad and I went to the top.  (It was overpriced, so Mom volunteered to stay on the ground and take the picture.) 

The following info is for Grandpa Steve and Dad.  Everyone else can read past:

This is Sidney Lanier Bridge.  It is Georgia's tallest cable-stayed suspension bridge.  It is 7,780 feet long and 486 feet tall.  It contains 95,283 cubic yards of concrete and 14,810,095 pounds of steel.

How does a four-year-old know all that?  I ask a lot of questions.  But what I really do know is that it was great fun driving over to get from our hotel to Jekyll Island!

This was the highlight of St. Simon's for me. The pelican on the fishing pier!

A fisherman was feeding it fish.  I loved watching this and playing with the little girl.
