A few years ago, Sean, Jackson, Lucy, and I visited Fenway Park in Boston. I had taken a group of first graders to Turner Field in Atlanta over a decade before. The trip to Fenway made me realize that as much as I loved the tour in Boston, we need to take the family and tour the park in our own backyard.
On a recent trip to Jekyll Island, our family was visiting the wharf. I went up to a ticket window thinking it was for the dolphin tour (which was amazing by the way!). I was at the wrong window, but I began chatting with Whitney, who works with Three Oaks Farm. Due to my mistake, we were able to experience Three Oaks Farm, and our great vacation became one we will never forget!
On a recent visit to Jekyll Island, we had the opportunity to take a dolphin tour. However, what we thought would be a fun excursion while on the island transformed into so much more. Not only did we spot dolphins in the Atlantic, but we also learned so much about the history and eco-system of the region. The island and the surrounding sea work together as a beautiful symphony that draws visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
When searching for the best beaches in America, Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island is at the top of my list. The beauty of the wood on the beach is beyond comparison and it is the perfect place to take the family on a stroll, get engaged, married, or just to have fun in the sun.
Fort Yargo is one of our favorite Georgia State Parks. It is easy to travel to the park with only a 45-minute drive from Atlanta. Fort Yargo has 1,800 acres of fun. Whether you love the water or the woods, you can find relaxation and adventure with both at Fort Yargo. The park has a 260-acre lake with a beach and perfect picnic spots along its banks.
