Local Color


The Amelia Island Plantation Resort is tucked away between the Atlantic Ocean and tropical old Florida landscape.


They offer every kind of activity you can imagine...the usual golf and tennis...


...and much more...horseback riding, segways, bikes, kayaking and paddle boarding.


There is a nature center, archery field and a miniature golf course.


In the evening they fire up a bonfire on the beach...complete with s'mores.


Hidden among the palms and palmettos are shops and cafes offering a little bit of everything. They actually offer golf carts to make navigating the place easier. Sixteen shops and nine restaurants are scattered under venerable old pines and mighty live oaks. 

It's an adventure just to explore the place. 


My girl and I...we roll at a slower pace but have lots of fun doing our thing.


This is the chandelier that greets you in the lobby...driftwood and metal...it's wonderful and huge!


I've been having my morning tea watching the sunrise...tea that comes in such a sweet little "bag" and is so tasty!

  1. Good morning Robyn, I'm so glad to read your blog this morning and see your beautiful Annie greeting us with her big smile that melts my heart. She always brings on the biggest smile on my face. Thanks...

    I think that I sould wear one of those hat that says Attitude Adjusted because I was getting frustrated this morning at the farm and found myself not having a nice attitude, lol. Good thing only the animals were around and they don't tell.... lol.

    What a positive lovely way to make a good tea very special. I love how they packaged the tea and added a tea leaf.

    We are having a very wet three days of rainy weather this weekend so I'll have to take a break from my flowers.

    I hope that your weekend is dryer than mine

    Hugs to you and Annie.
