Our gang of travelers just finished a week in a very special house in St. Simons Island. As mentioned in a previous blog we have been doing something together every year for over forty years. This time we took up in a historic home that once was a "carriage house" connected to a larger mansion that has been since moved to Daufuskie Island in South Carolina. This turned out to be perfect as it was a short walk to the beach and a short walk to the village. Most of us were content to do very little, so other than some sightseeing and golf for a few we mostly read, played dominoes and had fabulous meals that we (in my case "they") prepared every day except one where we walked to town for dinner.
Not many midwestern people talk about Georgia as a vacation area, but I can say that these barrier islands are very beautiful and comfortable with nice weather and friendly people. St. Simons is just a seventy mile drive from Jacksonville airport or smaller airports even closer. Anyway, Linda and I are very happy to have gotten away for the week and we enjoyed every minute with our friends and each other.
Happy Birthday to my Aunt Betty who just turned 90.

I'm happy you were able to get away with your friends. You look really good!
ReplyDeleteI must say that they all look good. They look like they also ate well. That is normal with this family. Jeff
