We've lived near St. Mary's, Georgia for many years and until recently, we never spent any longer than an afternoon there. Since it's so close to Amelia Island, Florida, less than an hour north over the state line, we decided to go to a bed and breakfast. I searched the internet and we found The Goodbread House
http://www.goodbreadhouse.com/mainstreet.html, circa 1870.

| The Goodbread Inn circa 1870 and decorated for July 4th |
I chose this particular inn because each of the rooms has a different movie theme. From
The Rhett & Scarlett Suite,
The Guinevere & Lancelot Suite,
The Gabriel & Evangeline Suite to
The Gable & Lombard Suite,
The Lucy & Ricky Suite and
Bogie & Bacall, you can guess which I chose. Since I'm a
Windie (Gone With The Wind fan), we stayed with Scarlett and Rhett. The room was lovely and spacious and covered with red (scarlet) roses, magnolias and framed pictures of the Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh and music boxes, books, a doll, figurines, etc. The walls were red in the bedroom and the wallpaper in the bath was a soft green and white floral print, reminiscent of Scarlett's green sprig dress in the opening scene of the movie. Our walk in shower was curtained with burgundy drapes. The topper to the decor was a bowl of peaches- Georgia peach/Scarlett- get it? Very cute!

A breakfast of fresh pancakes, whipped cream, stewed peaches and a fanned strawberry made for pretty presentation at the antique table the next morning.

If ever you are in the area, stop by for a look-see or overnight stay. The inn keeper will make you feel most welcolm (my particular spelling of this word for it rhymes with my name Malcolm).
