Guess, this part of our country on the Florida-Georgia border kept changing owners; and every owner had their own flag. Pirates also had lots of fun here during the lawless days. In the week we were here, only saw one flag, no pirates, but did enjoy our time.
Downtown Fernandina Beach boasts the oldest Hotel and oldest Saloon in Florida. We checked out the newer restaurants; with some some great dishes including Shrimp Po'Boys and even Cuban sandwiches (which we were really hungry for after watching the movie Chef, that we rented from RedBox). Eating out is good.
We camped at Fort Clinch State Park where a pre-civil war fortress is less than a mile from the campground. Checked out the Fort, walked the beaches, and watched the sunsets over the bay.
Also biked south down Amelia Island, checking out all of the golf resorts and finishing at the fishing bridge heading toward Little Talbot Island. We started along a nature bike path with occasional alligators, then onto a paved biking path, and finishing at a DQ for a blizzard. Surprise. Along the way, a couple of walkers said, "Hey, the Citrus Team," as we passed them by. Checking out our shirts, we see why!
