St. Simons Island Vacation Begins!

After more than a month-here are the pictures!
This was our first clue that we were close (aside from the 8 hours we had driven, 2 more than we planned :-). This is the Sydney Lanier Bridge and was definately one of the largest I have ever driven over.

From the bridge, you could see marshlands in every direction. To a Smut Eye girl, this was very impressive. They were beautiful: tons of winding waterways through seas of grass.

When we crossed the bridge, we were greeted with ancient oaks hanging over every street, creating a thick canopy overhead.

The Avenue of the Oaks was breathtaking. As you can see, it was more like a tunnel of oaks and would have made an awesome family picture, had we taken the time out from all the fun to take one!

We stayed in a blue house back in the neighborhood. Mimi, Papa Bill, and Jason all went with us. We all stayed really busy exploring the island the whole week!
