Jekyll Island Getaway

We were all able to take off and go to Jekyll Island for the weekend. Hooray! It was a great escape. Marianne kept saying that she didn't remember going to Jekyll Island, then we figured out that she was still in diapers last time we were there, so it was a good excuse to go again.













We brought Ashley and the dogs along with us. We stayed at the Oceanside Inn. They are amazing because they really are pet friendly...any size dog is welcome...none of those 10 pound limits and such.






It was Charlie's 1st beach trip. He LOVED it!!!!
(Gracie did not share in his excitement for the beach). Charlie chased the waves, swam, dove into the waves and even swam out to ride some of the waves back in to shore....and then did it over again....until I had to drag him out of the water.

Mickie, Tim, and Logan arrived a couple of hours behind us.

While at Jekyll Island, we spent a few hours at the Sea Turtle Center. It was really cool! They have educational stuff about the Sea Turtles and they also have a Sea Turtle Hospital and Rehabilitation Center.

Amy is the smaller turtle. She is in the education part of the center. Erika is in the rehabilitation center. Hopefully, she will get to go back out into the ocean later.

Since we arrived early on Friday and the hotel wasn't full, they upgraded mine and Marianne, and Ashley's room to a suite for the same price....very cool! So we had lots of room for everyone to visit together.

Mickie, Tim, and Logan had their own room.

I took the dogs for a walk on the beach before sunrise on Saturday. Charlie wanted to know why I was torturing him and not letting him go swimming. Gracie was wanting to know why I was punishing her by putting her down in this awful sand for some ridiculous picture. It was beautiful!

Mickie and Tim got to stay until Monday, but we had to come home on Sunday. It was a GREAT!!
