Brunswick, St. Simon Island, St. Marys

Well better late than never.  I should have put these together as they were happening, but we were having way to much fun.  This day we stopped in Brunswick, GA down by the river we found this model ship which reminded us both of Mike's friend Marty who builds model ships.

We then came across this beauty and guess what?  It's for sale.  Hmm what do you think?  Could this be our next new boat.  I think not, WAY TO BIG!  But she was a beauty.

Came across this one below, I swear it was a live aboard by the looks of it.  If you look at the photo closely you will notice that there is the mast of a sunken sail boat laying up against the bow of the boat.  Ooops!

We then made our way over to St. Simon's Island.  It was a beautiful place.

 This little one was watching me as I was photographing the court house building above.

Of course I stopped to photograph the lighthouse. 

Then we came across this pergola at least I guess that is what you would call it.  It had a board and batten roof.

Beautiful shore line and saw this flying over head.

 We then headed out to a local plantation for a walk around the grounds and tour of the building.  This is where the writing of these when it happens comes in handy because I can't remember the name of this place.  I do remember though the live oak trees were simply breathtaking.

See what I mean about the live oaks and all the Spanish Moss.

Yes I took a picture of this chair, only because I have this exact same chair at home but it was painted red.  

This little one was okay with me taking their picture.  

This is where the old rice fields used to be.

Mike stepped into this photo to give you an idea of just how BIG these live oaks are.

Being in the lowlands there are bridges everywhere. 

I snapped these last two on our way back from dinner in downtown St. Marys, GA.  It was a beautiful evening.

Down to Georgia

We are off again for a little adventure this month.  Our first stop was to Little River South Carolina to stop and see our dear friends, Jeff and Sandy Bacon.  They have kindly agreed to watch Miss Millie while we are out on this little adventure.  Millie loves them and I do believe the feeling is mutual.  The Bacon's live on their boat full time.  

She has claimed her place on the couch

Mike and I spent the night at a nearby hotel.  I woke up early this morning, like usual and the fog was pretty thick.  We had to wait a while for it to burn off, but I was able to get a couple of good shots this morning of said fog.

Once the fog cleared we were on our way.  First through Myrtle Beach as we were headed down 17 South.  Must admit we ran across some interesting things on buildings and billboards.  

Mike's comment about this one was "boy I bet it was hard on the builders to do this one.  On our way down Route 17 we stopped in Murrells Inlet.  We walked the pier and I got some great shots of the surrounding area and even a couple of some birds.  And yes birds are not really my "thing" when it comes to photography, but it just seemed as they were posing.

We were going to stop in Charleston and actually drove through part of downtown, but since we had been there several years ago and it seemed that so much construction was happening we decided to skip it.  We did though stop at the Mount Pleasant Pier at the base of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge on our way to Charleston.

After a good drive, which Mike did all of it today we safely arrived in Savanah, GA.  We will rest up here and head out tomorrow for Kings Bay Submarine Base, where we will be staying for a couple of days.  (Military housing is awesome).
