Here we go again. Almost three years ago to the week Tim and I were in Charleston with Roxy when the weather didn't seem just right. Once we checked the local forecast we found that Tropical Storm Andrea was headed straight for us. One choice we had was to head north but we would only be traveling with the storm in the same direction. We decided to pickp-up anchor driving home straight through it because we knew staying in Lowcountry would be worse.
Moving forward almost exactly three years (minus a week) here we are in Savannah with Jett. Today while texting a dear friend she mentioned that a Tropical Depression just formed off the coast. Whaaat!? If named it will be Bonnie. Deja vu for sure! Guess we may turn on a TV soon to check local forecasts and make a decision late tomorrow if we need to pull up anchor again.
With all that said we did have a relaxing day today. First up was moving. It would be the shortest move we have made this trip ... Approximately 100 feet! I actually had two reservations for this stop. Originally we were to depart today but in rethinking the holiday I made an additional reservation that would take us through the holiday weekend. Good thing because we like this campground! Otherwise if we didn't we could have returned home today.
After settling from our big move, most of which was done by hand, we had a quick lunch then off to Wormsloe Historic State Site. Located not far from camp is this magnificent piece of property. If the stone arched entrance doesn't grab your attention the next mile and a half of 400 moss-draped oak trees will.
Formerly known as the Wormsloe Plantation the 822 acres now belong to the state. Established in 1737 by Noble Jones. Some ruins remain of the original Tabby House. In 1828 Jones' grandson built a still standing plantation home on the property that is still occupied by their descendants and not open to the public. Just a magnificent and majestic place to come visit.
Our day then ended with getting a pizza to go from the nearby Village Bar and Grill, meeting our camp hosts from Florida and then spending a nice evening in my hammock. Life is good!!!
