Last Day in Georgia

Today was our last day in Georgia. We fly out tomorrow morning. We just got back from the airport because we had to pick up my dad. He ended up having to go up to RI for business, which sucks because the snow last week rescheduled his meetings for this week. Oh well, nothing he can do about it.

So today we decided to rent some kayaks from the clubhouse in my parent's community. We took them out in the marshes in the morning, while the tide was high, and just got to row around the water. It was very peaceful, and the water was very calm.

Around lunchtime, we drve down to Fernandina Beach to go horseback riding on the beach. We brought lunches with us and ate them there before getting on the horses. When we were getting ready to go ride, the ranchers decided to put Mom on the largest horse they had, and Dylan on the smallest. It was so funny to see. We rode along the beach, and it was so cold! It was probably only 65 degrees on the land, but near the water with the breeze and the fog rolling in, it was much colder. The mist and fog was so bad that most of the time we couldn't see through our glasses. Good thing the horses don't have to wear them.

When we got back to St. Marys, we met Emily at Sonic, and had Sonic Blasts. Sonic is SO good! I can't believe that the closest one to RI is in Pennsylvania. Such a tease.

Anyway, we took the kayaks back out after we got back to the community, and ended up going all the way from the community clubhouse to Florida. The way there was great because we were going with the current, but the way back was the exact opposite of that. We were trying to paddle against the current, so it was much more work than earlier, but still well worth it.

The problem this time was that the tide was so low that the boat ramp was covered in mud, and we were slipping everywhere when we were trying to bring the kayaks back up the ramp. So we had to go home and shower quickly and then go pick up Grammie to see her one last time before we left. We ate dinner with her at Mom and Dad's house, and then left to go pick up my dad from the airport.

Tomorrow is going to be a really long day. We have a flight at 7:30 in the morning, and then a 3 hour layover in Philadelphia. I'm looking forward to getting back home, and picking up Everrett from my uncle's clinic.
