Saturday was National Fajita Day and the plan was to have Mama and my kids over for fajitas. Schedules could not be coordinated to make this happen so LB decided it was time to take a trip. Saturday afternoon we set out for a destination favorite…
St. Simon’s Island
After checking into the Hampton Inn it was time to find a Mexican Restaurant.
After all, a celebration was in order…
for National Fajita Day!
La Plancha
was the place!
And the fajitas were anything but typical.
The Spanish to English translation of la plancha means ‘the iron’. The adjective (in Spanish cookery) means grilled on a metal plate (source).
Dinner was not bad, but Not Served on a Seasoned Cast Iron Pan, and slightly lacking in flavor.
And where was the guacamole?
Hopefully that review wasn’t too rough. On a positive note, the decor is lovely.
Next stop
Ziggy Mahoney’s
Once upon a time, Ziggy’s was a nightclub that an older man hosted as a means to snuggle up to college girls and take selfies. These days it has become a hot spot for seniors displaying dazzling dance moves. 
And suddenly I’m feeling a little more comfortable.
Imagine that!
Before heading back to Jacksonville the next morning, I thought it would be a good idea to shop for a birthday gift for my sister.
The shops at St. Simon’s Island were closed 
which was a good thing as White House Black Market is more temptation than I am able to withstand.
Jekyll Island
proved to be the place to shop for a birthday gift.
Tonya’s is the name of the boutique where I lingered. I was able to find a sweet little gift for my sister
and
something that I wouldn’t mind having myself.
A purple (eggplant) Hobo handbag 
Yes, LB… this would make a lovely Christmas gift!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
