Today was our first day to spend with Gram on St Simons Island off the coast of Georgia (the island next to Jeckyl Island).
We started our day with trying to find a car wash, because our shiny black car was literally gray with all the dirt, sand and salt it was pulled through from CT. Well, our misadventures started right there because when we found one, I talked Steve into the deluxe car wash for $10 because it was sooooooo dirty, we fed the money into the machine and...nothing! Steve went to try to find someone and the entire little plaza was deserted! None of the businesses were still IN business! Now mind you, our campground office sent us there!
We had to swallow that ten bucks! We proceeded over this very big bridge over to St Simons and found Gram's condo. It's really cute, the only thing wrong with it is there is a 15-30 minute drive to get to any beach depending on traffic. This was going to be our nicest day for the beach, so that's where we headed.
It was cloudy at first but then they parted to a nice sunny day. (I even have a pink nose and cheeks!). Steve took some photos of the beach and of a giant container ship that looks deceivingly close to the shore. Then lunch at a place right off the beach, and shopping in some of the little shops right there adjacent to the restaurant! A fun day!
On the way back to our campground, we found another car wash and finally got the deed done!

Well so glad you made it to Georgia. Too bad about the car wash. But looks like you had a fun day. The pictures you posted are beautiful. Doesn't look like too many people on the beach though. Was it warm or chilly? Glad you are having a good time. This morning here it is 19. Supposed to get some snow this weekend. They are not saying how much though. Could be just a dusting or more. Will check in on your blog every few days and see how you are doing. Take care and safe journeys. Bea & Harry
Hi Bea! No the beach wasn't crowded at all! It was probably in the 60's but sunny enough that I got a sunburn on my face! Should have used the sunscreen I had in our beach bag!
