Amelia Island















My husband is ready to retire. He wants to head south;
where the grass is green year round, and the golf courses never close.
We plan on putting our house on the market in a few weeks.
We have been downsizing loads of STUFF,
giving everything a good cleaning, and a fresh coat of paint.
A few years back we visited a lovely little island in north-east Florida; Amelia Island.
If the house sells, there is a strong chance we will be moving there.




















On the island there is a little city called Fernandina Beach.
It is a great little historical city that has flown under 8 different flags.










It has a wonderful little downtown area, with lots of restaurants and shops.















It has great marinas, with an amazing shrimp industry...YUM!














I am hoping to find a cute little historical house to call home....



































There are festivals, farmers markets, 16 miles of beaches,
and highly ranked schools.

There are miles of nature trails...
