Our Anniversary celebrations began Wednesday night, when we left Aiken to head down towards Jekyll Island. We stayed with Trey's dad in Hilton Head Wednesday night and left early Thursday morning for Jekyll. When we got there we decided to check out the Georgia Sea Turtle Center that was right by our hotel. It had a few exhibits about sea turtles that were pretty neat, but the really exciting part was the sea turtle hospital. They had about 20 sea turtle patients that they were caring for; it was so neat to see that! After that, we went in checked into our hotel, cooled off for a bit then headed to the pool. We had lunch at the pool-side bar then relaxed by the pool and swam for a while. When we were all pooled out we headed back up to the room and hung out until dinner. We went back to the restaurant with the fried banana cheesecake, because I couldn't be on Jekyll Island and not have it, that would just be crazy. Friday morning we slept in, got some danishes from the cafe at the hotel for a quick breakfast, packed up and checked out around noon. Before leaving, we had lunch in the main dinning room where Trey had shrimp and grits (his favorite part of the trip).
On our way back, we stop at an outlet mall where I got some boot for this winter (so excited)! and Trey got some much needed new Rainbows! After shopping for a while, we got back on the road, stopping near Hilton Head for dinner with Trey's dad before continuing on to Tate's apartment in Charleston. We stayed with Tate Friday night, and went out on his boat on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, and really cool to see Charleston from the water! Saturday night we headed down to my mom's house in Columbia to visit with her and see my sister before she leaves for Clemson. We left Sunday afternoon to head back to Aiken.
Sunday night Trey and I went out to eat at Travinia, an Italian restaurant in Aiken. When we got home, Trey surprised me with an anniversary cake!
