Family Vacation

Categories :

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.
