a quick trip across the state

After more than 18 months, we finally got back to Jekyll Island this weekend, and we had a great time! We rode our bikes all over the island, and we've even developed a list of places we will regularly visit when we go back. We saw Driftwood Beach again, we went to dinner at Blackbeard's and Latitude 31, and we played mini-golf. We spent more time on the beach than we did on our honeymoon, and we also got up early enough one morning to see the sunrise! (It's the first time in all the time we've known each other that we've managed to see the sunrise together, but we have our loud neighbors to thank for waking us up in time this morning!)

Our legs are tired from the biking that we did--we think it was about 25 miles from Friday to Sunday. We had a lot of wind yesterday, but all three days were beautiful.

Before we came home today, we went north a little ways to St Simon's Island. Jennifer took Keith to Epworth by the Sea, where her family visited several times when Jennifer and Jay were children. While we were there, the prayer tower played a couple of songs while we were sitting only a few feet away from the tower. Later, we went into the "village" on St Simon's and ate at a local cafe. We rode our bikes to the beach, walked out to our own private island (some people call them sandbars), and rode back to the car. We decided to save a visit to the lighthouse for our next trip to St Simon's because we're pretty sure we'll get back there again.
