Jekyll Island
Last week, my friend Lily McClellan invited me to join her for a short mid-week trip to Jekyll Island. Her family has been staying there every summer for the last 30-odd years, and it sounded like such a charming place I couldn’t say no!
Jekyll Island is about 4.5 hours from Atlanta and well worth the drive. We stayed just a few days, but I hadn’t realized how stressed I had been until I actually got there and relaxed for a bit. We took a boat tour to see the dolphins, visited the Jekyll Island Club Hotel (where Lily was married last year), flew kites on the beach, bicycled around the island, and drank mint juleps. I can see why her family does this every year!
I purposely did not take my camera gear with me, but I did manage to sneak a few shots with my husband’s little point and shoot. These are a few of my faves…

Love your pictures of Jekyll Island. I’ll have to give that place another try
My husband went there years ago and were eaten alive by horseflies on the beach!
