We moved to Blythe Island in Georgia. Ed isn’t feeling well and I have been letting him rest while I explore the campground. I really love this campground! It has lots of hiking trails and BUNNIES!!! The bunnies greeted us right away and I fed them, so they really like our site.

Ed did not feel good for about 5-6 days, so we just relaxed and enjoyed the downtime. After such a busy Florida stop, we needed the recharge. We had a campfire one night and it was lovely!

When Ed started to feel better, we ventured out to St. Mary’s Dungeness Beach and Fort Clinch. The fort was a really interesting place with lots of artifacts and it was a huge place. The beach was foggy but had lots of sand dollars. We had a really good time.

On Tuesday the 31st, we went to the Golden Isles. We visited the St. Simons Lighthouse, went to Glory Beach and collected more sand dollars and visited a spooky place on Jekyll Island called driftwood beach. We had lunch at a great place called Totuga Jacks….wonderful veggie tacos there!

Our last stop that day was a place we just happened upon. It was the Georgia Sea Turtle Hospital. We were greeted by a volunteer walking a (non-sea) turtle who had been injured on the road. We visited the center and were able to watch the sea turtles being fed. It was a really cool place and fun experience.

We spent many days at the campground, enjoying it’s beauty and tranquility.

We visited St Simons Island and visited the beach. We also hunted the carved trees of St Simons…it was a fun time! The trees are like spirits of the islands. I really enjoyed hunting and finding all of them.

On Saturday the 4th, we rode the Georgia Coastal Railway. Honestly, it was pretty pitiful. I realize we are spoiled, but while the train was in good shape and clean, there were no views, certainly no coastal views and the musician was literally sitting in our personal space. He was a nice guy, but I was not too into the music he played and hated being squeezed into my seat so uncomfortably. Luckily, it was very affordable.
