Mayport, Fl 4/21/2012

Hi, I'm back.  Thursday our grand-daughter Morgan had a district track meet in Jacksonville, so we did the 40 minute drive over for that and Shari with Matthew, Mckayden and Maddie did the 2.5 hour drive to see the race.

 Oh well, it is always worth it to see the kids run. 

We didn't really have time to do much else, back home to make baked spaghetti for the pot luck dinner.  That was a lot of fun.  Good food and a lot of interesting people.  We did have to go for a walk after dinner, not like we ate too much or anything. 

Yesterday we got moving fairly early.  Headed over to the Mayport Ferry.  It is a 5 min. ride over to Ft. George Island.  We toured the Kingsley Plantation

 and then headed up towords Amelia Island in search of a restaurant for lunch.  We ate on the patio of the Marche Burette Market/Deli, nice place.  There were a few shops here so we walked around them for a while and then we drove north along the Fernandina Beach area.  They actually had a lot of public access areas, so we stopped and walked to the Beach.  Crossing the Board walk we ran across a turtle comming out of his hole. 

From there we headed into the Fernandina Historic District and walked around there for a while.  A lot of neat old buildings and lots of shops for me to visit.  We were there until after 4:00 and then headed back to camp.  Was a nice day for touring, not real hot and as always a nice breeze off the ocean.
