Skidaway Island and The University of Georgia's Marine Education Center and Aquarium

When we were in Savannah, Georgia we visited The University of Georgia's Marine Education Center and Aquarium on Skidaway Island.  It was well worth the drive!

The scenery was beautiful with the large living oaks and Spanish moss hanging from their branches.  The coastal pine trees were tall and gallant as we drove down the road to the center.  It was a bit confusing to locate the correct building to enter the aquarium, but we found it!

Inside there were tanks filled with marine life.  Little Man darted here and there looking at the different fish and invertebrates.

We went outside and walked the nature trail.  It was nicely kept and the landscaping was picture perfect.  The view of the waterway was very relaxing.

We made our way to the pier and looked for alligators, turtles, and fish.  We spotted a racoon at the water's edge washing his dinner of crab.  This of course delighted all the children on the pier.

As we finished the walk on the nature trail, we found a few old cabins that provided the history of the area.

If we are ever back in the area, we will visit again.
