After spending the day with clients, my husband and I decided to take a walk on the beach on Jekyll Island.

This is the view from the parking lot of our beaches on Memorial Day weekend........(even on holidays, Jekyll is not crowded.)

Man with hooks and children on intertubes.....a possible recipe for disaster.......(but we did not witness any disasters)......

Even the pets on the beach were having fun.......(Pets are allowed on the beach after 5:00 each day)...My golden retrievers love it when we take them.....

sand dollars

We found a lucky dollar....

 

not sure

My husband and I are still questioning what this is......any suggestions?

Living where you can manage a full day of work and still be able to spend an evening doing all of this and then having dinner together really helps me balance work and family.  Each of us should look around and see what we can do close to home with our families and plan mini vacations each week.....

Gorgeous beach. I believe that the picture you were questioning is coral.  Your husband takes very nice pictues.  Was the fishing good?

Leolinda,

The fisherman on the beach didn't catch anything while we were walking but a lady on the pier caught a baby shark and a whiting on one line.......

Mary,

Thanks.

What happened to your hotel?

 

Don,

Nice to hear from you.....living here works wonders on the mind and soul.....(I can't live in traffic or away from a coast and won't try).....we are going back tonight - maybe by jet ski this time depending on the tides.....forgot to check them yet.....

Julie,

Given the price of gas I believe that "mini-vacations" will become more  prevalent.    Glad you enjoyed the day.

I went again tonight and we rode bikes on the nature trails where you see the deer, baby rabbits, birds, and other animals, then walked on driftwood beach (where everyone take their photos and has wedding ceremonies).  It is WOW.....why not live in a place where you can take a vacation every night after work or all day on your days off (if you will take one).
