AMELIA ISLAND

Last week we wemnt to Amelia Island to meet Bren, Jana and Coleen for a couple of days. Amelia Island is at the most northeast end of Florida, between Jacksonville and Georgia. Jana was attending a conference sponsered by the Mayo Clinic. They were there for a full week. We went up Wednesday and came home on Friday. We stayed in the Ritz Carlton hotel. It is located right on the Atlantic Ocean and has all the amenities. From the time you drop your car off at the valet parking until the time you leave there is always someone there to help you if you need it. The weather was great with no storms but the sun was hot. We spent most of our time either at the ocean or at the pool. It was fun being back in the ocean. It has been a long time. The water was pretty calm on both days with waves not big enough to ride but you did a lot of jumping. The pool was very large but it was crowded on both days. Little Coleen really enjoyed the water. She wasn't afraid at all. The hotel is a very large place and you had to do lot of walking to get anywhere. It really got to my legs and hip after the two days. It is the only place I have ever been that didn't have prices on the menus. I think that is because if you saw the prices, you would lose your appetite.
