While awaiting the trolley, my family and I decided to head into the Visitor Center to cool off…read more When we entered, I was surprised at how spacious it was inside! The ceilings were extremely high, there was art all around us and because it was empty, it seemed even bigger. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a man in the front shop and he let us know that he was there for any questions we had. Since we were just killing time, we decided to just stroll around the building. There was a booth selling drinks and snacks, a nice touch for visitors popping in on their way to tour the city. We decided to head further up the stairs and stumbled into a spot that had tour brochures for so many local Southern cities and some sweet ladies behind the counter to help guide visitors. I ended up walking to the gift shop and began chatting with another sweet woman behind the counter. I was in awe of the most beautiful handcrafted miniature version of the Forsyth fountain and we talked about it for 10 or 15 minutes. It was truly one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen in a minute, obviously delicately crafted with so much love and intention. The woman at the counter told me stories of customers who have purchased the piece for special reasons, such as a mother who flew in to buy it as a surprise cake topper for her son's wedding as he proposed to his fiance at the fountain. How beautiful! Although we weren't there very long, I really enjoyed our visit!

The Jekyll Island Welcome Center is located on the left side right before you get to the toll booths for the island. Inside the welcome center you will find some information on the island, clean restrooms, a friendly staff, and a gift shop. I will say the gift shop is very expensive, but that's not what I stop there for. We usually chat with the staff to see if anything is happening on the island during our week stay and if there is anything new opened up that we need to try; they are always really nice. In addition there is also an observation tower out back which is also nice; offering scenic views of the surround marshes and wildlife.

The Florida welcome center is a little more fun because they give out a free small cup of orange or grapefruit juice or both! The super friendly lady at the counter was more than happy to give Pro tip: guzzle down the grapefruit juice then chase with the orange juice for a sweet ending. Stop in for a bathroom break or to pick up some brochures about things to do and see in whatever area of Florida you are visiting. The Florida Welcome Center is a great stop for a break in the drive. It's a quick off and on ramp right off 95.

Highly recommend a Day trip to Cumberland Island, what a…read morebeautiful and magical place! The trip is awesome, you need to book the ferry in advance and there is a 15 dollars fee to enter the park, which you have to pay when picking up your ferry tickets, so be aware of if. The ferry ride was pleasant and not too long, about 40 mins, you need to pack and bring all your necessities with you to the island, so be mindful of your needs and prepare in advance. Once on the island there are multiple trails and the wild horses are everywhere in the Dungeness area. The beach is absolutely amazing, but note that in the summer time is not recommend to hike from Dungeness to Seacamp beach using the beach side itself, due to heat. Rather you should hike using the main road, which gives you plenty of viewing opportunities with the horses. Park rangers do a wonderful job stopping by and checking on visitors, offering rides and helpful direction, kudos to them. It's a wonderful day trip, plan accordingly and enjoy!
