What a fun tour with this group from North Carolina! They took a deeper dive into St. Marys, visiting the Cumberland Island Museum and St. Marys Submarine Museum in addition to taking our Fugitives, Fighters, and Fudge tour.

But the most memorable moments are the unexpected ones: we were invited to go behind the scenes to step into the Goodbread House's stunning bedrooms and then made an impromptu stop at a lemonade stand for a much-needed mid-tour refresher!

One advantage to touring Cumberland in the summer heat? You have the island and its horses almost to yourself!

Our final summer camp is in the books! Thank you to all the children who joined us and to our guide, Deb, for making it an unforgettable week!

Duke, the orphaned "puppy"-turned Cumberland Queen deckhand, joined us for the week, and the kids had a blast bringing him on their adventures!

We look forward to seeing all of you at camp again next year!

About

My name is Molly Verlin, and I love art, travel, exercise (i.e. dancing, kayaking, hiking), and food! Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, I graduated from Davidson College with an Art History degree and immediately moved to Italy to become a tour guide. After receiving my Master’s degree in Renaissance Art in Florence through Syracuse University, I returned to the U.S. permanently. These days (when not unemployed due to the Coronavirus) I guide in Italy with Rick Steves’ Europe a few months of the year and the rest of the year teach Art History and lead tours in Jacksonville and St. Augustine from my new home base in St. Marys, Georgia. Now that the pandemic has stopped me from the international travel I so loved and depended on, I’ve been inspired to appreciate what is in my own backyard. The American South is a stunning region with a rich history that I feel is under-explored. I intend to remedy that with this blog. Thank you for checking it out!
