The past few months have been a bit Crazy Town. Not only for us but for a lot of people I’m sure. We took some time off over the 4th of July weekend and let me tell you! It was needed!
Our favorite vacation destination is Jekyll Island GA. We love the peaceful and calming atmosphere. We started going in 2010 and immediately feel in love. So much so that we were married on the beach of JI in July of 2012!
The island’s historic district is full of millionaire history. It was the winter home to many of our country’s early millionaires. The Rockefellers, Morgans, and Vanderbilts are just some of the families that stayed here. At one point 1/6 of the world’s wealth were member of the Jekyll Island Club, the beautiful resort hotel on the island.
The Federal Reserve was founded in a secret meeting in the Club Hotel in 1910 under the rouse of a duck hunt. The first transcontinental phone call in 1915 connected a club member from Jekyll Island to Alexander Graham Bell in San Francisco.
