Labor Day Vacation

Posted on 09/04/2013 by RCGG

Over the Labor Day weekend, Mr. RCGG and I went to St. Simon’s Island, and Jekyll Island. There was an antique show on Saturday and Sunday on St. Simon’s Island that we went to and found some pretty good deals.

We stayed on Jekyll Island and went to the beach every day! Saturday night we were coming back from the beach and a deer ran right in front of us and then just as we were getting to the cross walk to go back to our hotel there was one standing about five feet from us! It was a little scary. Then as soon as we got to our hotel there was one eating some grass about twenty feet from us. (We were staying in a hotel that had rooms open to the outside and we were on the second floor.) 
On Sunday, we stopped by the St. Simon’s Lighthouse! We went inside and browsed the gift shop because I don’t really like heights to much.

On Sunday we stopped by Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island! The tide was so high that you couldn’t get to the beach. There are rocks along the beach and the water was coming up over them.

This is the Wanderer memorial. It was a slave ship that brought slaves to the US from Africa.

South Dunes Picnic Area. This was where we had our wedding reception.

We did a little beach hopping on Sunday afternoon and early evening. The waves were so high that they were knocking me over. It was a lot of fun though!

I am working on another post about the historic district of Jekyll Island because I thought it needed it’s own post. It will be up soon!
