I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Because not everybody has their own personal island…

On a whim we decided to visit a sea island off the coast of Florida – just a short drive from Jen’s house.  We had heard it was gorgeous, and it did not disappoint.  Miss Squiggles fell asleep on the drive to the beach, so she missed out on collecting beautiful shells by the ocean.  Tim stayed with her in the car while the rest of us went exploring.

When she did wake up, she was completely underwhelmed at the significance of being on Amelia Island.

But she loved the outdoor restaurant we visited for lunch, mostly because she got to sit between her cousin and Aunt Jen.

The rest of us enjoyed the palm tress and ocean view.

The fresh seafood was awesome as well, but we snarfed it down before I thought to take any pictures.  Highly recommended: Sliders Grill.

Ok I'm a tiny bit envious. Ok I'm a whole lot envious. What fun you look like you are having, being all warm and beautiful things to look at.

Also, you look beautiful!

Awe...poor Squiggles. That's pretty much how I feel when I have to wake up from naps too.

You really had a great trip! Palm trees and sunny beaches...gorgeous!

Feeling jealous right now! I'm so glad you've had a wonderful trip, though! I need to put Georgia on my trip list!

I'm am currently scouring Google Earth for Camille Island. There's gotta be one somewhere.
