July 4th Matt ran his third Peachtree Road Race! This year it took him one hour and 7 minutes and he improved his time 2.5 minutes faster than the previous year! Congratulations Matt! I am VERY proud of you!! This year the morning weather was much cooler but Matt said the humidity was horrid. Regardless, he improved his time.
A few weekends ago I went on a girls trip to Jekyll Island, GA! I had such a wonderful time and I look forward to going back to show Matt around the island.The island is a tropical paradise! Lush, greenery, rich history, bike trails and lots of wild animals safely roaming. Drift Wood Beach is beautiful! And, a site to see...
Jekyll is also known for it's efforts in the re-population of the sea turtle and it's turtle rescue/ hospital. We took the tour at the hospital and an hour long walk in search of mama turtles and their nests. I learned so much about the sea turtle! Enough to give me a grand appreciation for everything being done to ensure their survival. Here's a picture of a few operations that were going on while we were on our tour. One turtle had his shell split wide open from a boat propeller and the other had swallowed a fisherman's hook.
