Lately Gaines has been working on restoring an old boat that had been at his family's coast house in Valona, and he found a great deal on a motor on Craigslist. His coast house is about ninety miles north of Jacksonville, where the motor was, so we used that as an excuse to spend the weekend in Valona the first weekend in March. We got up Saturday morning, grabbed our breakfast essentials (Starbucks and Chick-fil-a, obviously!), and then headed to Jacksonville. On our way back we decided to make a pit stop at Amelia Island for lunch. The weather was just perfect, so we enjoyed lunch outside on the patio at Sandy Bottoms and then walked around on the beach before heading back.
After a cold winter, the nice weather and amazing views were just what we needed. :)
