Why I love Jekyll Island...

Beach laws can be so annoying. Especially when it comes to bringing along my 12-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, Wishbone. As a firm believer that dogs are a part of the family, I try to bring her along on as many family outings as possible. In case you were interested, here are some of the beach laws in South GA....

Tybee Island--> No dogs, anytime. Fines and community service apply.
St. Simons --> No dogs between Memorial day and labor day at anytime. In the off season, no dogs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

However, the folks at Jekyll Island understand that dogs should be allowed to enjoy the prime time of day any season. So here is Wishbone... enjoying the beach at 3 o'clock on Labor Day!!!




Even though it took 'til she was 12 1/2, this will not be her last beach vacation. She loved it too much... wading in the water and chasing sea gulls (chasing them down the beach towards two very annoyed sunbathers). She was even thrilled just to catch some rays on her towel while Zach and I went for a swim! However, it almost ended in disaster when we went for a walk on the beach and came back to a high tide, soaked towels, soaked clothes, and a wet iphone!

Side note: This weekend I also found some good news for those like me who are mourning the loss of PR's bbq... There is a bbq place on the way to Tybee that could even give PR's a run for their money. It's called Wiley's and their pulled pork and Brunswick stew are to die for. I also recommend their sweet potato casserole and an Arnold Palmer made with their homemade lemonade! We will definitely be heading back soon.
