The wedding is quickly approaching! Hopefully everyone has been able to book hotel rooms. The hotel block at both hotels will be released on May 23 so please make sure you go ahead and book your rooms.
I also want to remind folks that our wedding will be a casual affair. For your comfort, we are banning pantyhose, ties, and jackets.
If you are looking for things to do while you are in the St. Simons area check out the list below. All of them are less than 2 hours away. St. Augustine is furthest of all the trips. Chris and I have visited all of these spots, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.
St. Simons Island
(Trolley Tour info)
There is plenty to do on St. Simons Island. The link above takes you to the trolley tour which is a great way to get an island overview. You can sun your buns on East Beach (the best place to swim and lay out). You can tour Bloody Marsh, the site where the British took on the Spanish in order to protect their colony.
Savannah, GA
Savannah is only 45 minutes north of St. Simons. Take a trolley tour, walk the squares in the historic district, stroll along the Savannah River, and catch a bite to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady and Sons.
Cumberland Island, GA
Cumberland Island is a fantastic trip if you have a day to spare. It is about 30 minutes from St. Simons, but only accesible by ferry. Chris and I camped here for 2 nights in Feb. It was amazing. There are wild horses on the island, along with armadillos and the biggest 'possums you'll ever see! You will need to make ferry reservations to get on to the island. Pack a picnic lunch, take the ranger-guided walking tour, bring your swimsuits, and chill out for the day.
St. Augustine, FL
St. Augustine is also about 1 1/2 hours away from St. Simons. It is a great place to visit for the day. Walk through the historic streets and forts or take a trolley ride and see the oldest house and the oldest wooden schoolhouse in the country.
Visit Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth and drink from the springs! It is just outside of historic St. Augustine.
The Okefenokee Swamp

The Okefenokee Swamp is about 1 1/2 hours away from St. Simons. There is a great boat tour that tells you all about the swamp. Gators are everywhere!
