After 5 years of returning to Florida Family as temp help, I finally decided that October 30th would be my final day with them. It was time to enter into full time retirement. When my work shift was over, Bob and I went on a little celebration trip. We went to lunch at the Rib and Seafood restaurant in Westminster. It was a place we had seen on other road trips, and we said we would try it sometime, so we did. It was not exactly what we had in mind for a celebration dinner...you ordered at the counter and the food was brought to you...but it was good home cooking. After that, we drove into Georgia and stopped at the Stephens Recreation Area along the Tugaloo River.
The Tugaloo flows between South Carolina and Georgia for about 45 miles, and ends in Lake Hartwell. It was named for the Cherokee town of Tugaloo, believed to mean "a place at the forks of a stream" .
The leaves haven't peaked yet, but are still pretty
This bridge is actually in two parts and is known as the Broken Bridge. It used to be connected and known as the Old Tugaloo Bridge on Rte 123 which connected South Carolina and Georgia. Now it is used as a fishing pier.
A wonderful way to celebrate retirement!
