During our stay at Jekyll we drove over to St. Simons Island also.
It's about a 20 minute drive at the most, but much different than Jekyll.
It's a bigger island with actual restaurants and shops.
Just more going on over there, so we would drive over there to eat at night
and to explore that island also.
We met this nice lady on the pier that was crab fishing.
Only this method looked way better than the Deadliest Catch version :)
She let the boys bring the cage up a couple of times, and
was so nice in explaining how to do it and telling stories about what all
she had caught.
Here was her catch for the first part of the evening
The boys begged and begged for us to buy them a cage and some bait so that they could
go crabbing also. They were so enthralled with the whole process.
We didn't have any way to cook them and thought the boys would be all about it for a few
minutes and then be done, leaving us with a crab basket and raw chicken bait.
Now that I think about it we could have caught some and just given them to someone.
It really was cheap entertainment. Next time we will do that.
This guy looked like he was the guardian of the pier.
Shopping.
The lighthouse on the island.
Another geocache find.
I had been waiting for shrimp and grits the entire trip.
shrimp and grits-cake. I wasn't too sure about it, but I went ahead and
ordered it and was not disappointed. So so good.
This was at Iguana's if you're ever on the island.
And the best food, hands-down, was at Southern Soul Barbeque.
and we were in the market for some Brunswick stew so we thought we would try this place.
It's actually in a tiny building that looks like it might have been a gas station in its former days.
And the food was so so good. The boys got a Soul Burger (crazy non-BBQ eaters) and
declared it to be the best burger evahhhh.
So I'm assuming all the food choices are excellent.
I would definitely go back and have some more!
