A drive around quaint Saint Simon Island followed by a great crab dinner.
An evening walk on the beach on St. Simon Island
Shirley Durant and her sweet baby Jonathon
OK, we found it...the ultimate place to stop and stay for about 10 years, or maybe even 20! That would be the charming, St. Simon Island, on the southern Georgia coast. I'm sure we'd pick up a southern accent in no time at all but it would be worth it to get to hang out here longer. The streets were lined with huge trees covered in Spanish Moss, sprawling houses sit back deep in the yard, every road led to wide open beaches, and the wonderful southern hospitality permeated the air. Trying the delectable soft shelled crabs, fried oysters and boiled rock shrimp at the local Crab Trap wasn't too bad either! You know when you pick up one of the island real estate magazines you are hooked. But as you may have guessed, we have since moved on down the road and are enjoying the lovely countryside of South and North Carolina. In Columbia, S.C. we were blessed to visit with Shirley Durant (Fawcett) and got to meet the newest family addition, Jonathon. Shirley is doing a beautiful job of transitioning from life as a missionary in the Ukraine to full-time mom and wife to her husband, Lide. Connecting with old friends and making new ones along the way has truly been the highlight of the trip.
