En route out of town to Georgia,we found not one but two outlet shopping malls - so a bit of retail therapy for me in the Merrill sandal store, but nothing for Ted that he could not live without.
On advice from a colleague, we stopped for 2 days over the border in Georgia at Brunswick. The first day we visited St. Simons Island, a beautiful island community where we found the tony Coastal Kitchen restaurant overlooking a marina for a fancy dinner.
The second day we visit Jekyll island, the famed private island of the rich and famous magnates of the day - JP Moragn, Rockafeller, etc. Lunch of freshest seafood (she-cab soup, shrimp, mussels, crayfish) at another marina restaurant overlooking the bay where dolphins and manatees romp. then catch sunset at another outdoor marine restaurant with happy hour $4 cocktails to whet the appetite. HH is big around these parts, but we haven't found much time to take advantage of it.
Walking the long sandy beach and dunes, we read about the turtles who come here to lay their eggs every year. It's beauitfully preserved for walking and biking around this area.
Georgia's Golden Isle coast was a surprise to us, and we really enjoyed every minute of our 2 days there, to avoid the doubling cost of hotels in Charleston and Savannah on weekends.
