Yesterday, Wednesday July 14th. Caleb and Dad ran the bike loop that we had been on multiple times before and Mom ran the fishing pier again. I, on the other hand, slept. Once I woke up and they all had made it safely back, we decided to head to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. This is like a little hospital for sea turtles that need the help and a place where people can learn about the life of sea turtles. We wandered around and saw some of the sea turtles being operated on and rehabilitated. While there, we heard that there were going to be 8 turtles released into the ocean off of Jekyll's coast. So we decided that since this might be a once in a life time opportunity, why not go? We sat around the house for about an hour and then got on our bikes to head to the spot on the beach. It was probably about a three mile distance we rode on the beach and it was extremely tough because we were running against a strong wind the whole time. We finally got there and were able to see 4 turtles released. We got back to the house, cooled off and showered and headed to the Driftwood restaurant that is a part of the complex we are staying in. I had shrimp and grits...it was alright, nothing too special. Then we went and played putt putt on the island and I did absolutely horrible. Nobody did awesome but I did...like...very very bad haha. We wanted to see the sunset but it started to rain and storm so we headed back for home.
