Sunday April 24, 2022
We woke from a good night’s sleep and headed down to see how
bad the breakfast might be… well it was not very good. We ate a few things and headed across the
parking lot to a McDonalds for a biscuit and some decent coffee.
On the road about 9:30 still heading south. Turned on the book and the miles clipped
by. We ate lunch at a fairly decent BBQ
spot (neither of us recall where it was) right off I-95. The weather was
short sleeves and lots of folks in shorts!
We arrived in St. Mary sometime after 3.
Traffic had not been too bad and road conditions were better than
yesterday with no construction.
Smokin Pig BBQ - location unknown
There was some sort of festival in the middle of downtown
St. Mary’s. Tons of people and all the main streets blocked off…we found our
way around it and arrived at our hotel.
This is Ben’s retro trip so he picked the first place he had stayed way
back in the day – Riverview Hotel – over 100 years old and right on the river
across from where the ferry leaves for Cumberland Island. There are only 18 rooms – all on the second
floor with access to a wonderful porch with views of the river. Rooms are small but with great beds, a comfy
chair, nice bath and everything we need.
Right outside our door is a living area with couches etc. and you can
walk out onto the wonderful porch with rocking chairs.
We spent time reading on the porch, walked around a bit and finally chose to eat dinner here at the hotel. Good choice. Jane had salad and scallops with bacon jam and Ben had salad and fish and chips. Both were excellent and plates were licked clean. We split a piece of carrot cake which was good but not great. We came for the seafood though and it was outstanding. After dinner we walked around a bit – beautiful weather – found where you check in for the Ferry to Cumberland Island. Some more porch sitting and then it was time for a bit of reading and a good night's sleep
Grilled Scallops with Bacon Jam - I might try making this!
