This is exciting because it's my first actual "travel" entry! This past weekend I visited Matt in Brunswick & the Golden Isles (Jekyll Island, St. Simon's Island, etc) in Georgia. Since Matt is down in training in this area, it only made sense for me to come visit him. We had a fantastic time in Savannah in February (pre-blog)...and it wasn't like he had to twist my arm for a reason for me to come to warmer temperatures than winter in Mass!
We had some great meals while we were there. Tramici's-an adorable Italian restaurant, Southern Soul BBQ-pulled pork!, Gnat's Landing-beers in mason jars and bar food, and a yummy brunch (with grits, of course!) at Mallery's Cafe. We're foodies-what can I say?
During our time, other than eating (haha), we did a lot of driving around to see the different areas. We went to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center and got to see some cute turtles who are being rehabilitated and learn about them.
We spent a lot of time walking on the grounds of the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, pretty famous back in the day.
We also spent time walking on the beach and even laying out in 60ish degree weather..ah being a New Englander. We had a jacuzzi in our room-not a creepy one, but a really nice one. Of course we couldn't let that go to waste!! :)
On our last day, after packing up and a delish brunch, we went to the waterfront at St. Simon's Island and enjoyed the beautiful weather (75 degrees that day!). We put a blanket out in the park and soaked up the sun and just enjoyed one another's company. We also had some great conversation in a sunny spot with rocking chairs. Long distance and travel really make you appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
All in all, it was a wonderful weekend with great company, great food, great hotel, great weather...and lots of conversation about future travel!
