Thursday – despite predicated bad weather, my sister Donna and I packed our bags and departed for Sanford. After an easy two-hour trip, we pulled into the parking lot of our rent-a-home for two days. Our suite was squeaky, clean, and pleasing to the eye.
We settled into our room and made plans for dinner. After researching the area restaurants, we settled on the Bay Breeze Seafood. It was a nice restaurant with the typical beach theme. The price was not bad for what I had and the area we were in. Needless to say, this place did not disappoint in food quality.
The next morning, we took advantage of the motel’s continental breakfast and made plans for the day. After breakfast, our first destination was the Ole Gillium Mill Bridge and park. After about a ten minute ride, we arrived at the bridge.
Even though this is a reproduction of the original bridge, it is still pretty awesome.
Across the road from the bridge is the park, which is privately owned but opened to the public most days. Here’s what we saw at this unique mill park.
After leaving the park, we decided to go back to the motel for a brief rest and swim
For lunch, we chose the Rufus Restaurant in Goldston just a short ride away. The restaurant was very small and looked like an old store from the 59’s. It was so small inside that you could barely turn around. There was even with the size a steady stream of people in and out. Needless to say the food proved to be wonderful. Leaving the restaurant we ventured downtown to the visitor’s center. After collecting brochures we decided to follower the mural trail. Even though we did not find them all the ones we did find did not disappoint.
I also shot the depot and house.
We ventured back to our motel after our day of adventure. Today, we depart to visit our sister in a town about an hour away before heading back home.
Thanks for following me on my road trip. Yall come back now here!
