Beachview Club staff member Cindy Smith recently visited the Georgia Sea Turtle Center when her family came to vacation on Jekyll Island. Cindy’s sister Tammy and Tammy’s children, Nicole and Cody, were visiting from Detroit and had the opportunity to take in all Jekyll Island to offer. The entire group was so captivated by our flippered friends at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center that they wrote in to share about their trip:

My sister Tammy, her daughter Nicole and son Cody had such a good time at the Turtle Center during their visit from Detroit..it was the highlight of the vacation. Nicole was amazed when she saw the viewing window where they were actually patching up a sea turtle that had been cut by a boat, after which we observed the team feed this turtle by feeding tube. What great care is given to one of God’s most precious creatures. We also took a picture of Dylan. Nicole and Cody were sad they would miss her release, but I sent them the Islander and newspaper articles and called to let them know what time Good Morning America would air the story.

Thanks so much Cindy and Tammy!
