We enjoyed our week-long stay at the Navy family campground
in Mayport, Florida, watchin’ the ships roll in, then watch 'em roll away again. The weather was sunny and warm and we had some amazing sunsets.
Last Thursday, our last day in Mayport, we drove about 35-miles along the Atlantic coast down to St. Augustine. We enjoyed dinner there at the Columbia Restaurant in the St. Augustine Historic District. It was our first visit to a location other than the original Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Ybor City.
We enjoyed the sparkling white sangria and the famous 1905 salad, as well as our dinner selections.
We departed Mayport on Friday morning and drove through
straight west through Jacksonville to get to a truck tire shop. We had the
torque checked on our front wheel lug nuts to ensure they were okay.
Then we headed north up I-95, crossed the state line into
Georgia and got off at Exit 1 to head east towards St. Marys, Georgia and Navy
Submarine Base Kings Bay. We had heard a lot from other military campers about
how nice the Kings Bay campground was. The Eagle Hammock RV Park had won Campers
Choice awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011 as the best military campground (Eastern
USA). It is very nice, situated on a small lake, with pristine facilities.
The weather during our 4-night stay has been mixed. We had
some sunshine one day, but rainy the next few days. We did however, spot one
Navy submarine yesterday.
We head out on Tuesday and
drive two-hours north to Savannah where we’ll spend five-days.
