Trip to Brunswick 4: St. Simons Island Pier
Before we headed home we had to head to St. Simons Island and check out souveniers at “The Shell Shop” (not the true name, but what the family calls it). It has been a tradition in Frank’s family to go there every time they visit. The kids love it there and find all kinds of cool stuff (like puffer fish hanging from a string – PJ; or shark tooth necklaces – Don).
After The Shell Shop we headed over to the Pier.
The crew looking over the pier. They always do that...there must be cool fish down there or something... :-)
Frank and his favorite light house...
We saw this guy had hooked something big, so we ran over to watch. Luckily I popped the camera over to video mode...check out the video below of him reeling in a hammerhead shark.
He let the kids touch it and then he threw it back in. I guess you can't keep them if they are under a certain size.
