Jekyll Island 2011



For about the past 30 years or so, my family has been vacationing on a small island off the coast of Georgia called Jekyll Island. Though we don't make it every year, this year we did along with all but TWO family members (Mallory & Marc - we missed you). Here are the stats (stolen from my sister's blog):

Destination: Jekyll Island, GA (one of the Sea Islands)
Attendees: 43 family and friends
Countries represented: United States, Mexico, Japan
Generations: 4
Duration: 1 week
Alcohol Consumed: unknown
Fun Had: immeasurable

For the most part, we spent the week just playing on the beach and in the swimming pools. Stella was definitely in heaven the entire time. Give that girl a shovel, some sand, and a bucket and she's entertained for hours! Playing in the waves with Keagan and looking for buried treasure were definitely highlights of the trip! Enjoy these photos! Until next time.....

Striking a pose with their fishing nets!

Kohen loved the sand and was such a happy boy all week!

Keagan was one cool surfer dude!

Papaw with the kiddos! Alan managed to get Keagan in this photo!

Silly faces!! These two played so well together!

Stella and Tessie


The kids had so much fun chasing Papaw on the beach!


Look at that cool treasure map! Going on a treasure hunt, going on a treasure hunt!

Wow!! Those pirates left a pretty cool chest filled with all sorts of goodies!!


Proud grandparents and happy kids with their treasures!


Stella & Keagan had movie night every night!!


She didn't win a single race on the beach - but she definitely had fun crossing the finish line!

She wasn't in the mood for a picture, but this is the only family one we have on the beach!


Resting up and fueling up!

The following photos were taken at the north end of the island. Alan took a bike ride up there and got some amazing shots!
