Our first stop on the TN8 was Kingsland GA. But the real attraction was the nearby town of St Marys – a town that Ooma and I visited today. This is a beautiful, quiet little town on the banks of the St Marys River and home to the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. Ooma has been here before and wanted to share the riverside park with me. It didn’t disappoint. It is a beautiful and meticulously-maintained spot of greenery, with 2-person swings facing the river and lovely crepe myrtle trees lining the walks. We spent an hour there, just enjoying the view and the quiet.
We also did a fair amount of shopping in the town. We found some lovely gifts and I bought a couple of books at a fine bookstore there. Didn’t need the books, but they aren’t perishable.
St Marys has some very attractive greenery. I found a wonderful lily – Ooma wasn’t sure of the variety – outside a shop in the downtown area.
We also drove a few miles north, to Woodbine GA, as Ooma also had fond memories of this little town. Her memory may have been a bit faulty on this one as we found nothing to do there. We did find one interesting sign on a closed secondhand shop.
Then the skies opened and we headed back to the hotel.
