Family Vacation
Our first wave of guests arrived on September 25. My mother and father arrived about 6:00 on Thursday evening. We had a great ride from Monroe to SSI. They had not seen much of the area in several years and enjoyed seeing all the growth along Hwy 441. I highly recommend their hotel-Saint Simons Inn by the Lighthouse! It is just a block from the village and the pier. The rooms are lovely. The best part was the special they offered of staying 4 nights to receive the 5th night free. The clerk offered this discount which was almost twice as much as the AARP rate they requested.
After a great dinner at Barbara Jean’s–best shrimp on the island in my opinion–we all headed back for a good night’s sleep. Steve and I returned to the boat to wait for Lainey’s arrival. She had a three day weekend so came up for a short visit.
On Friday morning, the cloud cover kept the temperature low. After a ride around the island we stopped at Christ Church and the Wesley Gardens and Memorial.
