Our first stop on the TN8 was Kingsland GA. But the real attraction was the nearby town of St Marys<\/a> – 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<\/a>. 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<\/a> trees lining the walks. We spent an hour there, just enjoying the view and the quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the skies opened and we headed back to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
