We celebrated Jon's birthday by a trip to Darien Georgia. En route, Jon was surprised with flying lessons in Jacksonville. We stayed at an adorable B and B in Darien - the Darien Waterforn Inn. We had a private dining room for Jon's birthday dinner. We then spent the next day exploring around Darien and fell in love with a litle town called Sunbury. We also had fun exploring the waterfront and wandering on the docks looking at all of the big shrimp boats. We meandered home down the coast and spent time on Jekyll Island which was interesteing, our last stop there was by boat !
Jon had no idea where we were going, or what we were doing for his birthday weekend - first surprise - flying lessons for us both !
Jon getting in ....
Has his David Clark's on, is ready to go
Made it back !
Susan a litle leary - but willing
Getting ready to taxi - I don't think it is a good omen when the instructor is holding on to the dash board - must be a guy thing because Jon does the same thing when I drive the car !
Take off
We both got our wings
Jon's birthday dinner - sat us in a private dining room - our reputaion must have preceeded us

Huge tug - Jon is standing on the left
Tractor tires for fenders - maybe a good idea for Sundance
Shrimping is the main industry of Darien. We could look at boats all day - these shrimping boats were just beautiful and with great names
