On occasion, I get together with a few girlfriends from work. Sometimes it's dinner but once or twice a year we try to get away for a girls weekend. It didn't happen 2020 or 2021, for obvious reasons, but we finally got our dates/schedules coordinated this year & went to Amelia Island Resort near Fernandina Beach in NE FL. We stayed in a 2 bedroom Villa which was a very short walk to the Omni resort & all it's amenities.
As usual, we ate, we drank & we talked ... a lot. But basically we just hung out & had fun. Weather was a bit cool but beautiful.
We went to Cucina South for dinner on Friday night. On Saturday morning we had a bite to eat at the Villa then went to Big Talbot Island State Park for a hike along Black Rock Beach. It's a beautiful beach covered in huge fallen oaks (mostly due to erosion) that you have to traverse as you make your way to the end.
After our outing we went back to the Villa for some lunch & after that, some went to the pool & others stayed behind for a nap. We then went to Fernandina & browsed the shops before dinner at Beech Street Grill.
The trip ended on Sunday & we made our way home. Overall, a very lovely time was had by all & it was great to get together again. We're going to try again for later this year, cross your fingers that it happens!

Love this !!! Miss you guys already!
Miss you too. Lunch soon?
What a fun idea! And what a beautiful place! I tend to think of Florida beaches as crowded, but you seem to have chosen the perfect time.
Leigh, The state parks in our area are usually less crowded most all year. They are not like Daytona, Miami, etc. No amenities, more natural. Thanks for stopping by.
