By the time we got to Jekyll Island, I had decided the beach wasn’t so bad after all. There are so many interesting things to play with in the sand. My favorite was definitely the reeds.

Dad and I at the beach on Jekyll Island. Even the air here tastes a bit salty.

Hmmm. What's this? Some kind of sand stick? Where did these come from?

Look! There are more over there! And I have sand on my eyebrow!

Let's go get them! I'll have this beach cleaned up in no time! Maybe I should contact BP to see if they need my services in the Gulf?

Hi mom! Check out my stick collection! Better yet, check out my hair. I am stylin'!

What?! We're going home?! Can't you see that I'm ready for another day at the beach? Well, I guess there is always next year...
