A friend of mine recommended Jekyll Island to me awhile ago. I filed it away and decided that when our anniversary rolled around, this would be the place we would go. And so we went! It was actually a surprise for Daniel, the destination that is, so it was kind of fun planning everything I wanted to do. (haha). It really was so dreamy. We celebrated our anniversary Saturday night at the Georgian Room on Sea Island. This suuuuper fancy and suuuuuper pricey place. But it was absolutely amazing. We did the chef's tasting menu with a drink pairing and it was incredible. You probably don't care one bit about our pictures with food, but it was a meal I never want to forget. My favorite was the tartare (pictured - the one that looks like a center piece - it was fantastic)
The next day we slept in, hit up church for an hour in Brunswick and then had the most delicious Sunday brunch back at our hotel. It was also incredible.
All that eating can really tucker a person out so we spent the afternoon napping and reading :) Early evening we rented bikes and biked the island. The weather was beautiful, as was the island! We saw several deer along our way. We biked to Driftwood Beach which was this incredible beach on the north end of the island with large dead oak trees growing right up out of the sand in the water! It was beautiful!
Had to snap a pic in the front of the Gatorology sign!
We had a nice dinner right on the water that night. We enjoyed another night of sleeping in and rolled out late morning the next day to head home. It was short but perfect. Thanks to all the grandparents that made this happen for us!
