More history - and shopping! and eating!

 April 23-24, 2025

Wednesday morning Liz and I took a lovely little walk at the John Gilbert Nature Trail. 





Later that morning, the three of us went to the Fort Frederica National Monument, established by James Oglethorpe in 1736 to help protect the British colonies from the Spanish in Florida. The archeological remnants of the fort reminded us of quite a bit of Jamestowne Island!



About 700 soldiers were stationed at the fort with perhaps 1,000 residents outside the fort. 


The fort is on the Frederica River, of course!







Back to eating, we picked up barbecue for lunch at Southern Soul because everyone said we should and they were right!


Beach in the afternoon followed up dinner at Halyard's - isn't this the perfect vacation!

Thursday was a day for a walk at the marina, shopping in the village, afternoon at the beach, and dinner at the Rooftop at Ocean Lodge.
