We just got back from Jekyll Island last week and we had the most wonderful time. I have to say that the reason I loved it is because the Georgia coast is all about conservation. They have kept the barrier islands as natural as possible. There is a bike path that we rode nearly the entire distance - almost 20 miles in two days. My tush was very sore, but the riding was fun. To see more images visit my Flickr site, but here is one of my favorites.
One thing that isn't in my pictures is the Love Bugs. They were swarming while we were at the coast. Only in the afternoon and not on the beach...but still. I had never encountered them before. It did open the door to have some "birds and bees and lovebug" discussions with my 9-year old. She has determined that the act of sex is disgusting and isn't anywhere on her agenda. I hope she feels the same when she is 16!
I miss blogging. School has absolutely got me busy. I have to think much harder than I did 30 years ago! I am enjoying it, however, and I hope to teach when I am finished. That is quite a ways off, though, so for now I just think about tiny time frames - this semester, this week, this minute. It keeps me from going MORE insane! The most important thing is to maintain that sense of humor!
