Commander Zodiac

 In this case a picture does not do justice and 1000 words will not do either.  The morning we got up early, well early for vacation time :), and drove to South Beach to catch our 2 hour tour on a zodiac boat.  It was AMAZING!
 Our first stop was Daufuskie Island, which is really a huge sand bar the is visible at low tide.  We did some beach combing and found the best stuff.  We collected quite a few whole sand dollars which was a lot of fun.  More fun was all the living things we saw.  We saw sand dollars, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, rays, fish, and the weirdest thing was this strange jelly blog thing that Ethan picked up and then all of a sudden some tentacles wrapped around his fingers.  We don't know what it was but it was coolly strange.  It was so  amazing walking amongst the rays as they swam around.  We had so much fun!

 Next we went out off the coast of Tybee Island, GA and followed a shrimp boat around.  We were not the only ones, we were joined by 20-30 dolphins.  It was super super AMAZING! and so ...well, AMAZING!  (I think Abba got some better pictures so I will have to get them from him later)

Lastly we drove through the marsh and finished our tour.  It was lovely!
