Today
we spent the entire day on Jekyll Island, a popular vacation and tourist destination. I was very interested to see the Jekyll Island Club, a private club constructed in 1888whosemembers
included the Morgans, Rockefellers and Vanderbuilts, now a luxury boutique resort hotel. We took a quick tour around and were impressed with the originality and condition of both thehoteland the
small historic district of homes and other structures surrounding the hotel.
One of most popular activities on the island is to bike around
the 25 miles of paved biking trails. While Matt is not a big fan of biking but nevertheless was up for exploring a bit of the island by bike. After a 30 minute walk to the bike rental
shop and lunch at the beachside open air restaurant, Tortuga Jacks, it was off on the bikes. We rode for about 8 miles which allowed us to see about half the island including a return stop
at the Jekyll Island Club for a beer and a visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center located in the historic district. For some reason Matt was interested in learning about the sea turtle -
probably because he was interested in doing anything but more biking.
We ubered back to the marina, enjoyed more cocktails on the
flybridge and this time went into the historic section on St. Simons for dinner at Del Sur, intrigued by its Argentinian/Italian menu.
