- Joe & Liz get their bikes ready for the scenic drive to Savannah
Joe & Liz stopped by the Spencer House to for some much needed R&R.
They took Highway 17 from Savannah to St. Marys. This stretch of road, also known as Ocean Highway, makes for beatiful riding. With its great views of the salt marsh, ocean, and many different rivers, it is no wonder that Joe & Liz chose this route on their way to Spencer House.

We sure had a great time at the St. Marys Mardi Gras Festival on Saturday. The event kicked off with a parade and some great floats at 10am.
As you would expect, there was plenty of “festival food” for lunch. However, one of the most popular options was the Chili Cook-Off.
