199 miles via I-95 and US 17 with a lunch break at the Frampton Plantation Museum near the intersection of I-95 and US 17. 256 car miles. Cumulative miles: 601.
The extra miles were due to our sightseeing trip into St Marys.
This was an easy trip to navigate – didn’t even use the GPS. The traffic on I-95 was heavy in spots and there were a few sprinkles, but it was an easy hop overall.
We got a small lunch at McDonald’s when we got onto US 17 and ate it in the parking lot of the nearby Frampton Plantation House and Museum, which was also billed as a “visitor’s center”. We enjoyed the lovely grounds and the clean bathrooms.

Our home for two nights in Kingsland was the Holiday Inn Express. We like this brand. Clean rooms, free breakfast (very good) and a mini fridge and a Keurig coffee maker in every room. Lots of electrical outlets and USB ports, too. All at a reasonable price. Ooma is a Holiday Inn Rewards member so we got a little bag of goodies – 2 candy bars and a bag of Chex Mix – at checkin. Somewhere on this journey we will probably get a free night, too.
