Hello Georgia!

Brunswick, GA  March 20 - 23, 2013

We made the short drive from Jacksonville to Brunswick, Georgia looking forward to seeing St Simon Island and seeing our old friends Greg and MaryKay Crouch and our new friends Bob and Elaine Sliwkowski.  We arrived at our new home the Golden Isles RV Park anxiously anticipating our next parking challenge.  The park entrance curved around a parking lot filled with cars for the people eating at the lunch buffet served in the on-site restaurant.  In an effort to get around the corner of the office/restaurant building, but not take up the entire entrance to the RV park I cut the corner a little close to a big yellow concrete post.  When I asked Peg to get out to make sure I wasn't going to hit the post she informs me that I have avoided the post but have managed to hit the flag that is sticking out from the building above the post.  UGH.  The flag pole was bent, but Peg managed to pull it out of its stand so that I could continue forward.  Luckily the owner of the park was very nice about it and said people have hit much worse things including the back of the building!

That evening we drove out to St Simons Island where Elaine and Bob spend their winters and Greg and MaryKay had flown in for a visit.  They stay in a beautiful condo overlooking the beach.  We even saw dolphins swimming by while sitting on their sofa.  We enjoyed a lovey happy hour watching the waves and then drove to a local crab restaurant for dinner.  The food, stories and company couldn't have been better.  Thanks Greg!

Good Friends Good Food

We came back the next day with the dogs as Elaine and Bob are dog lovers and they graciously offered to dog sit while we took a bike ride around the island with the Crouches.  Did I mention how great they are?  We took the dogs for a long run on the beach.  They love the ocean more than Peg does which is really saying something.  Elaine made us a beautiful lunch and then we headed out on our bikes for an explore.  Greg was our faithful leader riding along with his phone GPS directing us around the island.  It is a great little island with lots of fancy homes and beautiful golf courses.  Luckily the kids were good for Elaine and Zoe manipulated her way onto the sofa.  Elaine and Bob then finished the perfect day with a delicious prime rib dinner.  A good time was had by all.

We decided to have everyone over to our place on our last evening.  We spent the day doing some much needed cleaning and shopping to prepare.  We had a really nice time entertaining in our little home.  It was a great time and we look forward to our next visit with Elaine and Bob when we get to New Jersey.

Coming soon.... Savannah, GA
