Fort Frederica

I had a lovely weekend cruising around GA seeing the sites.  Hubby's parents came down to spend the weekend with us while they're on the east coast visiting family and preparing for their youngest daughter's wedding.

We spent Saturday driving down the coast to St.Simons island which was quite pretty although very populated with lots of shopping and big houses.  It was a little different then I was expecting and reminded me a lot of Hilton Head Island.  We went to the Fort Frederica National Monument on the island and toured around.  Some pictures from the monument are below.


We also drove to the point which had a lot of big big houses that were quite pretty and as we were driving to the lighthouse we drove right by The Stitchery of St. Simons, a local yarn/needlepoint store so of course I had to stop!  What luck!  They carried a lot of high-end yarns, your colinette, Rowan, Cherry Tree Hill, Noro, etc.  Not a huge selection of lace or sock-weight yarns and although it was all very pretty I didn't end up buying anything. 

We went up to Savannah the next day to have dinner and drive around a bit and all in all it was a nice weekend.  I worked on Print o' the waves and lost track of the number of repeats but counting it I believe I'm at 14....I think I will knit to 24 and call it a day. 

Happy Monday!
