Fall Break this year started out pretty hectic! With a hurricane coming through Florida we lost a day of our cruise so we headed to St. Simons Island Georgia for a couple of days before we started the rest of the trip!
I found this island just by searching for good AirBnB deals and I am so glad I came across it. It was such a neat place and we didn't even get to explore all of it!
Once we arrived we went down to the pier to walk around and then out to dinner at Porch for some fried chicken.
Mom, Tony, and Ben rolled in a couple hours behind us and we all settled into our condo for the night.
Up bright and early on Friday to walk around and Josh and the kids grabbed donuts from Dulce Dough Bakery which they loved.
We walked around the pier area with them and then Josh, Tony, and Dave headed to go golfing on Jekyll Island while the rest of us walked on the beach and hung out. Mom, Ike, and I found out about the tree carvings that were all over the island and we went out in search of as many as we could find.
Mom ran into town while the rest of us left went looking for the beach. This was harder than we anticipated because you couldn't get to the beach from a lot of the access points. The tide was super high and it had flooded from the recent hurricanes. We finally found one and walked along the beach for a bit until Mom picked us up!
It was a touch windy! We decided we needed to treat ourselves to a late afternoon snack and Ike chose to go to Brogen's South and we shared some yummy appetizers.
The golfers finally returned so we left to hit some other points of interest on the island before getting dinner.
There are some beautiful old churches surrounded by the live oaks-absolutely love this look! The first one was Christ Church Episcopal
I had read about a labyrinth on the island-took us forever to figure out where it was but we had a blast once we found it! It was located at Wesley Church and was tucked away in a little reserve area.
For dinner we went to CJ's Italian which was fabulous. We had way too much food but that is to be expected on vacation!
Took an after dinner walk to the pier for some sunset pictures-it was so beautiful!
We really loved this island and I would definitely come back for a longer stay. We were up bright and early to make our cruise down in Port Canaveral the next morning!
