Tomorrow is Florida

It is November 8 and we are still in shorts and t-shirts! We were walking through a palm tree forest today. We are in Jekyll Island today, that is in Georgia. Only 1 more day til Florida!
Today we passed 2 wild alligators in a pond beside the sidewalk we were walking on. We also saw some kind of land crab today. I am excited for Florida to get to the beaches. We went to a turtle hospital today. There were some hurt turtles in there. I saw one that was about 3 feet long. Not all the turtles there were hurt, some on them we there because they were babies. I saw about 15 tiny little ones. They were there because on her way to the spot to nest, their Mom got hit by a car. So they found the Mom, and took the eggs into a warm area and kind of adopted them.
We also found 4 horseshoe crab molts on a beach. We found some moon shells today. They were even perfect ones. We also found lots and lots of sea quills. Daddy says "we have hit paradise".
It even smells like the tropics.
I am having a great time,
Jessica
