Savannah, Tybee Island & Jekyll Island



Spring Break with a couple of kids was an easy educational & fun trip to the Savannah Georgia area!  The Turtle Talk class as the Tybee Island Marine Center & beach was exceptional!  Our history tours told the good & bad rich culture of America.  Savannah Stat University's campus was inviting & we sat in a Marine Biology class.  Watch out for the biting sand gnats at Driftwood Beach in Jekyll Island!  Overall great experience & I look forward to the student presentations! #savannahga #tybeeisland #SSU #noaateacheratsea #noaa #savannahghosttours #driftwoodbeach #Jekyllisland #marinelife
