Kings Bay GA

It was a much cooler day at Kings Bay. We slept in which is always nice on cool mornings. Last night there was a great blue heron out front. We hung around here in the morning. At 12:30 Bill drove down to Amelia Island for the Concours d’Elegance. This is a high end classic car show and sales. Bill wanted to look at the cars and meet David Hobbs, a Formula 1 race who now announces races on the Speed Channel. He called a couple of times and was having a pretty good time. He got back here about 4.

While Bill was gone, I chatted with Mandy while I worked on labeling photos. I got those all caught up. Mandy and Cynthia are going to Boston in the morning for the weekend. Saturday night they are going to see the musical Dirty Dancing. At 6 we left to drive back down to Amelia Island to meet Nancy Van Tyle and her friend Candy for dinner. They had found a place called Brett’s Waterway Restaurant and were waiting in the bar for us. It was a really nice restaurant. I had fried green tomatoes, shrimp bisque, and red pepper polenta, all of which were quite good. Nancy and Candy shared some fried green tomatoes and had salads. It was a fun evening chatting. Nancy and Candy met a lifetime ago when both were working in Alaska, so it was fun to hear their stories.
