After supper we drove around, just looking at what had been happening over there in the past few months. We were interested in the new buildings going up and the old ones that had disappeared, the property just awaiting for new ones.
But the visitors from Chattanooga were much more interested in the natural beauty of the island. From the deer roaming around the historical hotel to the old oak trees at Driftwood Beach, there were many oohs and aahs.
And like the typical tourist, there were pictures on the cell phone:
I think Janet might have missed the snarling log:
The sun was setting on the Jekyll Island Hotel, the landmark of the Island:
And, while the girls were out looking for a bathroom, I found out what the view of the old hotel was through the eyes of a croquet ball, waiting behind a wicket:
But one of the best parts of the evening, was hearing our visitors talk about the island and its many sights, both natural and man-made.
We tend to take all of this for granted, because we have seen it all many times, but it is never exactly the same and good to see it through the eyes of one seeing these spots for the first time.
We live in a great place.
It is good to be grateful and appreciative.
Thank You, God

Doesn't get much better than this...
