St Simons Island

Okay--so the tour guide reminded me that St Simons was Charles' area not John's. Nonetheless, I was excited to take a picture of the Wesley Oak outside Christ Church. St. Simons was absolutely beautiful. We only had 24 hours there, but we went on a walking ghost tour (I've decided Ghost Tours are the very best way to learn the history and the character of a place. They have the best storytellers!) and a trolley tour; we did a bit of shopping; and had a couple of wonderful meals. I can't wait to visit again.

We are now relaxing on the back porch of "our" house on Tybee Island. The whole family is here and we are spending our first day getting groceries and getting settled. I'm happy to say I've already read two books and have started on my third--my idea of a great vacation!

Stalking John Wesley

Well, as many of you know the kids have accused me of "stalking John Wesley." So tomorrow we are heading to St. Simons Island to visit yet another John Wesley sight. If all goes well, we'll make it to St Simons in time to go on the ghost walk and then on Saturday morning, we'll visit all the Wesley sights before heading to our rental house on Tybee Island. There we will meet up with my father, my brother, his wife and two boys and my sister, her husband and two boys.
