Amelia Island

Last weekend our little family took a much needed vacation down to Amelia Island, Florida.  It was so nice to get away and relax on the beach.  The resort was recently bought by Omni so you could tell they were working on updating and improving things.  Regardless of all that, the grounds are absolutely beautiful and I would definitely go back in a minute.  Savannah was still so little last year when we visited the ocean so it was so much fun to take her this year and watch her run around and get excited to go in the water.  She is definitely a water girl.  She LOVES being in the pool and she thought the beach was the coolest thing ever.  She would just stand there watching the waves come up over her feet and she kept waving to the ocean.  I think she got a little confused when we talked about the waves.  We would have loved to stay longer but all good things must come to an end.  If only vacations didn't end with a toddler and a stressful flight back home....ugh.
We took so many great pictures that it's hard to narrow it down to a select few but I've tried my best. Here is a quick run through our time there:

Vacations are GREAT!
