Only in Jekyll...

Gabby occasionally has to play soccer games in Jekyll Island...which is this tiny little island off the coast of southern Georgia. It can be a pain because it takes about an hour and a half to get there, and her games always seem to be in the early morning...but when it comes down to it, we absolutely love it there...and, I have no problem turning one soccer game on Saturday morning into an entire weekend...lol.

This weekend was a bit different, Gabby's dad's birthday was on Friday so we couldn't leave early (and technically I was supposed to be in NYC, so wasn't planning on being here for the game), so we got up early Saturday morning, loaded up the car with coolers and dogs (who got to go to daycare for the day) and headed to JI for a 9:30 game.

And because God loves me, and my trip to NYC had to be postponed....he made sure I had something to look forward to when I got there....this weekend just happened to be the 6th annual Shrimp & Grits festival. Praise Jesus. And let me tell you....it was awesome. And it totally made up for a miserable, freezing cold soccer game! I convinced some of the other parents to head over to the festival with us for lunch and we had sooo much fun!

And as you can tell...the girls had no problem getting into the action either. hahaha.

It was really fun to show everyone all of our favorite little shops, and to shop at all the booths set up for the festival.

But I can tell you right now...the highlight of my day was going to The Commisary. It is the best little shop on JI and has all the best sauces, salsas, dressings, etc. that are made just for them. We got their awesome Peach salsa, but this one is my favorite...and I will go to JI just to get it!!!! :)

 

 I love it so much I bought two. :)
