It's December so we are once again in Amelia Island.
We checked in here....our group has been coming here every December for so many years that the bellmen remember us and call us by name...they all remember Annie and she loves it! Wonderful folks here at this beautiful place!
Amelia Island is on the Atlantic Ocean...east of Jacksonville.
I'll be spending time here....drinking something warm!
The beach was deserted late yesterday...it's chilly and grey...perfect weather for a stroll.
The beach is so wide it takes a while to reach the water using the wooden walkways.
Amelia Island is one of our favorite spots...and this is one of our favorite hotels. It is decked out in all it's Christmas finery and looks so beautiful!
I'll be snapping some pics and sharing them with you later.
Annie and I will be hitting our favorite spots today...a couple of great antique shops are on the top of our list.
