There are so many places to visit in the Southeast and what better way to enjoy the summer than with a weekend trip as near as your own backyard. This past weekend LB and I had the opportunity to visit Jekyll Island, Georgia. 
LB and I headed north on Saturday afternoon and reached the island around 5:30. As per usual on the weekends, having skipped lunch, we were ready for dinner.
We enjoyed dinner at
Tortuga Jacks is the land of the beach taco and was our dinner destination of choice.
While enjoying the outdoor seating area, overlooking the ocean
LB and I savored our usual fajitas
and the music of Backbeat Blvd
With the exception of a few bothersome insects buzzing about, the evening was lovely and we had a nice time.

Our adventure continued on Sunday afternoon when we visited the new shopping area on Main Street.
Jekyll Island Beach Village
One of the most unique shops we’ve ever come across was the Jekyll Market, a gourmet grocery store. We almost passed it by, thinking it was only a restaurant. 
The sign says “Eat Drink Shop” and that is exactly why you can spend a couple of hours exploring this store. In the Jekyll Market, you can find an assortment of things including…
Especially relevant is not the Farmhouse Peachshine, but the Feta Stuffed Olives, .
We love these at my house!
Another shop that we spent time in was Tonya’s
It is no secret that I love to discover new boutiques. Tonya’s is part boutique and part gift shop. In the front of the store there were so many pretty little chachkies and personal items. Especially intriguing were the Kate Spade accessories
and this cute little plaque
I restrained myself and did Not purchase this for Gina, as I didn’t know if she would like pink.
Once again, we had a lovely weekend
Stay tuned for our next adventure!
