We started running into some rain and by the time we got to Brunswick, GA and checking into the Costal Georgia RV Resort a little after 3 pm, it was raining pretty good. Of course, by the time we got the RV parked and hooked up, the rain stopped but it took us a bit to dry out.
This is a nice RV park with concrete pads, mostly pull-thrus, and close to Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island. This might be a good place to come for an RV Club trip and we'll scout around the area and see what the attractions are.
After the rain during the night, the cold air moved in and I ended up getting the long pants, warm sweaters AND my winter coat back out from the storage under the RV bed. We headed to St. Simons Island and checked out the Fort Frederica Memorial site. We were lucky that they let both of us in under Ed's Golden Age pass since there wasn't much to it. We did play "dress up" in the visitors' center and that was fun. We got to walk the dogs on the beach and then found a lot of shops and restaurants in the village on St. Simons. Most of the restaurants didn't open until 5pm but we did find a little cafe to eat at that was pretty good.
We then drove over the bridge to Jekyll Island and had to pay $6 to get on the island but it's good for 24 hours so we might go back again tomorrow even though that island isn't as commercial as St. Simons.

Saturday we drove back over to Jekyll Island to do some more exploring and used our pass from the previous day that was still good. We went to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center which was pretty interesting; in addition to information on turtles, it's also a hospital and rehabilitation center. We then walked around the historical houses which, even though they're big, they call cottages. This is a great place to take your bike and ride around and you can ride on the bike trail all around the the island.
