The pool was a recent addition.

We visited Jekyll Island today. It was formerly a private hunting and wintering estate for the rich and famous for people like the Morgan's, the Rockerfellow's Goodyear's and Crane's, to mention a few.
It's heyday would have been the early twentieth century. It is now a state park, there are numerous hotels, 2 or 3 large (18 hole) golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, bike trails and many restaurants. There is also a historical section and museum. We relly enjoyed our visit here.
Brunswick GA is a nice little town, It's downtown is having a hard time with many empty shops.
Tomorrow, we will push on south and plan to be in St. Mary's for the Cruisers get together and pot luck diner on American Thanksgiving day. We should be in Florida the next day.
