Through the Looking Glass at Sea Island, Georgia.




On an unseasonably warm December day, even in the Golden Isles, 
my friends and I ventured out to The Cloister on Sea Island, Georgia. 
We were ready to enjoy some Holiday Magic! 


There is always a Gingerbread House at the Cloister.


These two were whispering about something at the Beach Club!


After wandering through the Cloister to enjoy the Christmas 
Decorations, we decided to head over to the Beach Club
for lunch. That is where we discovered Alice! 
The Cloister goes all out every Christmas with their decorations.
You can look back at some of the past Christmas decorations 

This year the Beach Club on Sea Island was transformed into a 
Wonderland....Alice in Wonderland that is.
Oh my ears and whiskers, I'm late. I'm late said the White Rabbit!

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” 

Queen of Hearts: I am NOT in the habit of talking to myself.
(aside)
Queen of Hearts: Even though it's the only way I can get a 
decent conversation around here.


These were little vignettes under glass domes.
"Off with your head!"

I got to sit down and have tea with this lovely group!
"Yes, that's it! Said the Hatter with a sigh, it's always tea time."

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee agreed to have a battle
For Tweedle Dum said Tweedle Dee had spoiled his nice new rattle; 

Just then, down flew a monstrous crow, 
As black as a tar barrel
Which frightened both the heroes so, 
They quite forgot their quarrel.

The hallway to the Southern Tides Restaurant and Bar 
were decorate with trees that carried out the Alice
in Wonderland theme. 


As Alice said to the Mad Hatter, "You're mad. Bonkers. Off your head....
But I'll tell you a secret...All of the best people are."

 It was so pretty that day. We decided to dine
 outside by the ocean. 

Thank you for letting me share my time with you! 
Christmas always brings out the child in each of us.
But my time "Through The Looking Glass" brought it out in me!
