St. George Island, Florida
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Because of a job interview in Tallahassee, FL, Larry and I decided to use the weekend prior to the interview to visit the surrounding area. We'd been to Florida lots of times, but never to Tallahassee or the Panhandle.We left early Saturday morning. It rained all the way down to Florida. I had packed a picnic lunch from Zoe's--chicken salad, pimento cheese, fruit, and cookies. We ate this in the car while driving. Our only stops were for gas and to buy new windshield wipes at Advance Auto.We arrived at St. George Inn around 5 PM or so. The Inn is an old house. I had reserved the Windjammer "Suite"--it was actually a regular room, with a King bed. It was like staying at a relative's house, only you had to pay. The bed creaked and was uncomfortable; the toilet ran if you didn't jiggle the handle; the TV was very small and was up on a stand on the wall. But it was OK for one night.We took a walk on the beach before sunset--it had been raining but it only sprinkled a little while we walked. The beach reminded me a little of The Outer Banks--houses only, no condos or high-rises. The beach itself is quite beautiful--white sand.Dinner was at the Blue Parrot--a restaurant (maybe the only one open?) on St. George Island. We ate outside on the porch overlooking the ocean. I had Fried Oysters, which were very good; Larry had grouper & scallops--skimpy portions.
