Had fun still touring around Hilton ahead.  What a beautiful place. We are going home in the morning as Bob has meetings and I’m going to Nashville to see my mom and family.  Time for a groom for Piper and I for sure. Be back on May 2.    Here are pics from today.

Of course everyone loves Savannah !  Kim and Ryan came this morning and we ate at my favorite restaurant,The Olde Pink House.  Toured down river street and the beautiful gardens and  the J WMarriott Plant riverside hotel. It was made from an old power plant and was something to see.  Heading today to Hilton Head for 3 days. We have traveled 2,024 miles with around 4,000 to go, 3100 gallons of gas

 Isle of Hope is a small quaint town by Savannah.  The marina had a courtesy car so we got to tour around,  and due errands.  Leaving tomorrow to Savannah which is close by car, one hr on the .ICW.  (intercostal waterway)

Day 92 April 17

Happy Easter to all our friends!  We had our traditional Easter dinner on the boat with Jim and Steph.  Our favorite part of Jekyll Island was the Driftwood beach. We have never seen anything like it. Drove around on the golf cart taking in all the scenery.  We leave for the Isle of Hope tomorrow which is 90 nautical miles.

Day 91 April 16

Last night we had 25 mph winds as we were anchored out by Cumberland Island. The anchor held but Bob was keeping a close eye.   Walked around the island today and loved watching the horses run around. The marshes were beautiful as was the whole island and beaches.

Days 89-90. April 14-15

 We spent some of our Thursday touring Flagler College which used to be a hotel called The Ponce de Leon.  It was truly amazing as it was built in the eighteen hundred in 18 months.  It has 11 huge Tiffany chandeliers which are the only ones in the world. Of course, I had to make one last stop at my martini bar.  Such a fun town.  Left this morning for Cumberland island by way of the ICW.  It was very windy and tide was tricky.  We went 60 miles and have gone a total of 1900 miles. Touring the island in the morning and heading to Jekyll island.

Days 86-88 April 11-13

 We came to St Augustine and it was only about 1 1/2 hrs to get here. Everyone said this would be one of our favorites and it truly is.  We are staying at the city marina where we walk off our boat and everything is there. It is in the beautiful historical area with a lot to see,tour,shop,and of course eat!  We ate at Harry’s, St Augustine fish camp, and others but my favorite stop before and after dinner is the Tiny Martini bar.  So many choices!   Met up with other loopers along the way there. Piper got to explore the beach for the first time, as we took her where there weren’t people.  You know her as she has to meet everyone.  She got to really run and she loved it.  We rented a car one day and drove around the other parts of the city. Going to tour more in the next day before we leave. Fun with our looper friends we have met

Bob,me ,Julie,John,Diane,Bob,and Jim and Steph.

 We were so fortunate to see the rocket launch from the water. I have a great video,and I hope it will let me post it. It is picky about videos. We also had dinner with Bob’s cousin,David and wife Debbie, and Bob’s brother Jim and wife Stephanie again.  Today we traveled to St Augustine and are anchoring out until tomorrow where we will dock for a few days and tour the oldest city in the USA.with Jim and Steph. They are boating some with us on their Floating Home.
