Jekyll Island

Hi All,

We spent the last two days exploring Jekyll Island, a beautiful and historical island on the Georgia coast.

First stop was the Tidelands Nature Center with this stainless Right Whale.

As we hiked the beach along the south coast, we found this tree with the dirt around its roots completely washed away by the surf

Nearby, many trees were toppled, not surprising since the roots were exposed.

Last stop was the Georgia Sea Turtle Center where they rehabilitate hundreds of sea turtles from as far away as Cape Cod.

This two year old will grow some more prior to release.

Above the gift shop was a replica skeleton of an extinct Giant Sea Turtle, seven feet long, 11,300 pounds!

Tomorrow we start the two day drive for some sightseeing in Washington DC.

Love,
