St. SImons, Day 2

Today was our second day at St. Simons with Becca and Don, who are wonderful hosts. This morning I was abruptly woken up by Dad, but the banana bread and egg/sausage/cheese sandwich for breakfast certainly made up for it.

In the late morning/ late afternoon, the six of us took a 5 mile hike at Canon's Point, which are the old ruins of an 1800s plantation. Mom, Dad, Becca, and Don had a lot to catch up on, so Foster and I entertained ourselves with the scenery and deep discussions about the meaning of life (I kid, I kid.)

After the hike we went back to the condo and chilled for a bit before we left early for dinner. It was an hour boat ride there, so we all went to the bathroom before we left. All of us that is, except Foster. When we reached the dock, Foster got out of that boat and to the nearest restroom faster than I thought possible if you had to go that bad. But hey, to quote Dad, "if you gotta go, you gotta go."



I have to say, this blog has come in handy. I can take pictures like these "for the blog" without question. It's nice.

The restaurant was basically the definition of a southern fish camp, and the food was really good. Foster made sure to use the restroom before we left this time. The way back was equally as nice of a boat ride, courtesy of Don the captain. 
We kept our eyes out for the many eagles on the marsh-


Here's some other pictures form the boat-
My hair is not red I swear
We timed the dinner and boat ride so that we could see the sunset, which was absolutely beautiful tonight. 



Nice views

Not so nice views
The sunset was so pretty that some of us got a little, excited we might say. Dad was so excited his hat fell overboard and we had to start a rescue mission to retrieve it. 


That's all for today folks!! I would like to thank you if you've made it this far with our vacation, or if this is your first time reading. We'll be heading to another surprise leg of the vacation tomorrow, so be sure to stay tuned! I hope your break is going well.
