St. George's Island State Park Trip 11/30/2015-12/3/2015

We left on Monday for St. George's Island SP, taking our four year-old grandson Max with us and came home on Thursday.  We had a good time although the mosquitos were really bad at the park.  A lady walking by warned us they were bad even as we were backing the trailer into our campsite!   Unfortunately we didn't take the big screen room (my fault and poor Jeri was eaten alive, although for some reason they didn't bother me much (because she is so much sweeter than me, I guess)), but we did buy every citronella candle we could find and kept them burning outside.  :-)  The park does contract with a private company to spray twice a week to keep down the mosquitoes.

We also had a bit of rain, but this did not dampen our spirits a bit.  One disappointment was that Eddy Teach's Raw Bar was closed and gone out of business.  Max had a great time, too, but was missing Mommy and Jack by the time we headed back home.  He was quite the little trooper on the trip.

This is a very beautiful state park (mosquitoes aside) with nice, clean facilities.

This was our first longer distance pull of the trailer with the new Ford F150 pickup and I felt so much better pulling the trailer with it instead of the old Grand Cherokee we had.  Hardly knew the trailer was back there.

Here are some pictures from the trip.
