Destination: Coastal RV Resort, Brunswick, GA / Jekyll Island
Today we got up and out pretty early, for us. We did go by the dog park, and Carol did get a workout in running around throwing the ball for the dogs. We were rolling by 9:30. For excitement, another Entegra passed us at mm80 on I-75 south. I cranked it up a bit, and stayed on his bumper for 20 miles. I had to had to make a quick pit stop, and stopped in a rest area to take care of business. Back on the road, hammer down, we did catch and pass him before crossing into Georgia.
Our stop tonight is Coastal Georgia RV Resort. This is a kinda plain vanilla nice place. All paved, concrete campsites, bushes between them for privacy. “Close to” first class, but sites are narrow and there’s just not a lot of character. No trailers that still have dirt on them from 1962, and not a window air conditioner to be seen.
We got in early, a bit after 2, and after setting up camp and walking the dogs, we took off for some sight seeing. Jekyll Island was our destination tonight. Oddly, they charge you $8 to get on the island. We’d been there before, it’s kinda quaint and quirky, our kind of place! We walked around Beach Village, did some shopping, bought some stuff in the Life is Good store. I needed to replace my Jekyll Island hat, it’s looking kinda over worn, but struck out. Life is Good had one I liked for $26, but no way I’m paying that for a hat. There’s a campground on the island, we drove around to check it out. Nice in a heavily wooded old fashioned kind of way, but not a chance I’d ever try to get the big bus in there.
For dinner we found The Driftwood Bistro, in the Villas by the Sea Condominiums. Truned out to be a great little place. I had shrimp and grits, Carol had shrimp. Dinner was fantastic, though the portions could have been a little bigger. Carol really enjoyed the Sweet Potato Souffle!
Beautiful view of the sunset coming back over the bridge, made a quick stop at Winn Dixie for the ice cream I forgot, and home to feed the dogs. We’re gonna stay on the coast, see some stuff we’ve never seen. Tomorrow a short 150 mile run to Daytona. Good night all.
