One of my favorite things

At least once a year my family visits the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia. It's a truly magical place where wounded sea turtles are brought for a second chance at life. On-site they have an interactive museum, a puppet theatre, and a turtle hospital. Anna Katherine has a special love for these creatures, and will spend hours in the hospital looking at the turtles and watching the vets at work. She's already signed up to volunteer for a week during the summer - about three years from now. :)

CNN discovered the good works of the Sea Turtle Center recently; take a look:

We met Pumpkin just before Christmas; it's good to see she's still doing well. If you're ever on the Georgia coast, stop by and see them - you'll be glad you did.
