Fun in Fernandina Beach

  Beach is on Amelia Island in Florida and we have been here a couple days now. This has a great beach with great shelling. The temperature here is a little different than what we have been experiencing lately. It was 45 when I woke up this morning for my walk on the beach and the high was 72. And the residents are saying it is unusually warm this year.

This is a nice little town and we have had some fun. Last night we went to dinner at Tony's PizA and Pasta and it just happened to be trivia night. So of course we stayed and participated. it was general trivia and we didn't fare too well.  But we had fun and met some people from Iowa and the Midwest.

Today we took a trolley tour of town. We saw the house that was used for the Pippi Longstocking movie. I love Pippi Longstocking! 

We also saw a house that was ordered from a Sears and Roebuck catalog in the early 20's. It came in pieces with everything you needed for inside and out and a 300 page manual to tell you how to put it all together for about $2000. I had heard of that before but never seen an actual house.

Then we went to play putt putt at Island Falls. Since I always lose, this time I said the winner had to buy ice cream.  Ha, see what I did there?  Of course LW is going to win, he always wins. So he will have to buy.  And he did win, even though I think he tried to throw the game on the last hole.

While on the trolley tour we passed a street sign that I just had to take a picture of....can you see why?  It's even spelled correctly!

Fernandina Beach is definitely a place to come back to in the future.
