After a month long sojourn at Tween Creeks, we’re back on the road for a few days. We’ve traveled US-441/US-129 through Athens and Gray to Macon countless times through the years. It’s our method of avoiding Atlanta traffic. But we’ve always taken the bypass around Eatonville. This time we decided to check out Smiths Coastal Grill in downtown Eatonville for dinner. Wow! Â Great food and a comfortable eclectric atmosphere. If we lived nearer we’d haunt this place on a rgular basis. Thanks, Yelp! for leading us here. Now onto Perry where we have hotel reservations tonight.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
