…are obviously still recovering from our vacation.
I’ll continue next week with photos of Destin, New Orleans and random stories of the trip! Like my shrimp boat stalker…
Then we went on to stay on South Ponte Vedra Beach right out of St. Augustine. You saw some of the photos of the place here.
The place we stayed was fabulous. See the view from the Great Room? Loved that deck!
The nice big kitchen were SuperGuy cooked fish. And more fish. Unless he was outside grilling fish. I guess you get the picture.
We just loved this place. Love the beaches. Loved how deserted it was. Loved that it was a big old long string of houses with no high rises around. Loved, LOVED how flat the beaches were. I walked for miles on them.
We went into St. Augustine to browse around, but I wasn’t into paying $10 a head at each attraction they had. Old Fort, old buildings, etc. The architecture was so interesting though.
They also had a lighthouse. :love: So I got to add to my collection of lighthouse photos.
Barring something unforeseen, I’m pretty sure we’ll head back here next September. Loved it. We’ll probably stay longer than a week, if possible. I miss it. Lots. I think I need to be retired and living on a deserted beach. Just sayin’.
(Oh. My. Gosh! It’s October!! Where did September go??)
We love to explore new places, so we next headed out to St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia. We wanted to see what some of the Georgia islands were like.
We stayed at St. Simons Inn by the Lighthouse. It has individually owned condos but we reserved the room through the Inn. Our room was very nice. The staff was nice. It was clean.
The island was cute with lots of live oaks lining their streets.
The beaches we saw there were kind of ho-hum and marshy. I’m not sure what they were like on the other side of the island. We walked around this area with its shops and restaurants and ended up at the Iguana Restaurant. Twice. Lunch and Dinner. Enjoyed really cold Yuengling Beer. Just sayin’ you might want to try it if you go to St. Simons! It’s in the Pier Village area of the island in walking distance of where we stayed.
There was this little park area by the pier. That night when we were walking around, there was an outdoor wedding reception at the edge of this park area. We took advantage of the music and danced in the park. :love:
They have a cool lighthouse so I was able to get my lighthouse photo fix. :dance:
We had a great time. (notice the trend) but I doubt we’d stay on the island again, but we’d sure swing buy and eat at the Iguana Seafood Restaurant again! We also drove to Jekyll Island (you have to pay to get on the island) and not much is right on the beach, so we marked that island off of places to stay too. We did a lot of that on this trip.
