Brunswick, Georgia

After driving across Florida we settled for the General Conference weekend in Brunswick, Georgia.  
We were intrigued by whatever hangs from the trees.  We found out later that it is Spanish Moss and it is filled with chiggers.  Chiggers are otherwise the same thing as bedbugs.  It's a strange look but very interesting.
This palm tree was in the courtyard of our Air bnb.  Again I am surprised at how firm the fronds are.
The outside entrance of our bnb.  We had the entire upstairs apartment.  
It was cozy.  Nothing too fancy, but nice.
The living/bedroom area was all one.  But then, why would we need them separate?
On Sunday between sessions of conference, we went for a walk.  Here was another tree filled with Spanish moss. 
On Monday morning before we left the area, we went to breakfast at Jekyll beach.  We sat outside as the restaurant was small.  But, it was quite chilly outside and we weren't sitting in the sun.
We walked out onto the beach and the view was just beautiful.  I understand why people live on the ocean.
As we drove around the island we stopped at Driftwood Beach.  We didn't know why it was called that, but once you walk out of the path and see the beach it immediately becomes obvious.
I love the thought of seeing sand and beach as far as the eye can see. 
I took this picture just because it is a house that needs paint in a bad way.  I sent it to Jared and told him I had a project for he and I.  He loves old houses and said he could do wonders with it.  I believe him.
More of driftwood beach.  There were also a lot of rocks on this portion of the beach.  So many shells were attached to the rocks.  Perhaps when the tide come in so do the critters that live in shells?
We stopped for a selfie with the driftwood in the background.
