Beach Vacation

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the beach.  It always seems to fly by so quickly.  

 We arrived on the 4th of July.  This is the first time that we've been in Fernandina for Independence Day.  From the pier we could see the fireworks that people were shooting off all up and down the beach.  It was a non-stop display in both directions. There were even people shooting them off from right next to the pier. These were amazing because they exploded right above us.  We could also see the fireworks from downtown Fernandina, from the Ritz Carlton, and from Jacksonville (in the distance).  The view from the pier was spectacular.

One evening we had cake and ice cream to celebrate all of those with summer birthdays.

 The kids had a great time hanging out together.

 Downtown Fernandina has tons of great restaurants, so we made it a point to visit a few of them.  We had a great week.
