Jekyll Island is again living up to our expectations but this trip has been even more fun since we have been sharing it with Jackie and Nick and Sandy and Richard. Sandy had no idea that Jackie and I had planned for her to be here a couple of days at the same time. They were on their way home from Florida so stopping at Jekyll works. It was pouring rain when Sandy and Richard arrived here around 3 in the afternoon on Saturday. Jackie and Nick had arrived the day before.
We were hoping to have Sandy outside and then Jackie was going to do a walk by wearing a hat and sunglasses. Then Nick's turn. But the rain interfered so the Harvey's came by around 4 pretending to be friends from Michigan dropping in for happy hour. Jackie did a good job with her "Michigan" accent, calling hello from the door. Sandy's face was priceless when we invited them in and she realized who was there. It was an excellent happy hour and dinner despite the downpour outside. Dinner for 6 in here is a bit cramped but we were so pumped it didn't matter.
The six of us spent the next 2 days golfing, biking and touring the Island. We had dinner at Lattitude 31, a great restaurant on the wharf. It was great to have some Kincardine-ites to share this great spot. Jackie and Nick left early Monday morning and the rest of the week is a blur.
After Tuesday the sun and warmth came full blast so Sandy and Richard got a touch of summer and hopefully it follows them home so it will be there when we get back! We golfed again and had a beach day in between biking, touring and just visiting. The dolphins were around and we saw lots of gators, interesting birds and all the other great sights of Jekyll. It was so nice to have family around. Now, the Sundance no longer has the "bomb-went-off" look but it also feels a bit lonely. I am glad it is Master's weekend...a good excuse to sit and do nothing! Of course we have to get a morning bike ride in but that has become a habit. Here on Jekyll the biking is phenomenal... miles of wide trails and of course beach biking. That is an experience I can't get enough of!

Hi Sheila,
Sounds like things are great in Jekyll! Wish I was there! I could really use some sun and fun right now. I'll keep this short to see how this works. This blogging is new to me so hopefully this will get posted. We had a fabulous weekend in Niagara Falls - I really do like it there but definitely wouldn't go in the summer. Do you have a date when you will be coming home?
