                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 16, 2024

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate two 
Georgia resorts--the Barnsley Resort and Jekyll Island Club--for being 
named a top 10 resort in the United States by USA Today.
  The Barnsley Resort in Adairsville, Georgia placed No. 9 on the list, 
an English-inspired village community spanning over 3,000 acres.
  The longstanding Jekyll Island Club placed No. 2 on the list, 
showcasing Southern hospitality and charm since its doors opened in 
1888. Here, residents frequently enjoy the beautiful scenery and rich 
history of Georgia's coast.
  These two resorts were chosen by a panel of experts and then voted on 
by USA Today readers. To qualify for the top 10 resort list, these 
resorts must offer the complete vacation experience, encompassing all 
that a vacation destination may offer to its guests on one site.
  I am proud to celebrate this accomplishment for both the Barnsley 
Resort and the Jekyll Island Club and share this excitement with our 
great state of Georgia.
