Alligators and Skippers Fish Camp in Darien Georgia

When we travel to Florida by car we usually try to get as far as Darien, Georgia. There's not much to the place, but we are used to it. But rather than have dinner at Ruby Tuesday due to a lack of choice and proximity, we thought we would explore Skippers Fish Camp on the waterfront. It's only a couple miles away and definitely much more scenic and interesting. And the timing was perfect for a delightful sunset view. The restaurant was okay - we had crab cakes and blackened shrimp - but the little walk along the water was better. A lazy gator was hanging around looking for handouts. The locals said he had recently feasted on a cat. The fishing boats and smell of the water looked so familiar. All of this reminded me of growing up in Florida.  The sights and sounds are so different than the Midwest and DC. My husband always wondered why I was never nostalgic. I think I'm becoming more and more every year.
