Fun tour of Fernandina Beach -- I always enjoy exploring with friends (reminds me of when we biked Apalachicola together). We've never been to Fernandina Beach but we'll definitely go next year.

Mr Yulee is quite handsome, and although you are being very attentive, I imagine he also would not have read the manual :-) I too enjoy cemeteries and architecture - so much for the eye and brain to take in. David on the church step with you and Bill.....love that he still gets such delight in being a naughty boy :-)))) I think the small door on the side must go to the "little girls' room" (sorry, I had to). I appreciate that you could tackle both a bakery and a candy store with restraint, but that you know your limits and avoided the bookstore for now. It's lovely that they have maintained/restored many of the historical places while not taking themselves too seriously by adding the pirates and the shrimp - I would like this town.Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-37079749490774314342014-11-25T09:58:40.252-05:002014-11-25T09:58:40.252-05:00What a cool place!

And yes, you will need a good bit of time in the Book store! Nancy and Bill seem like such nice people and I love her blog (although I am a silent reader, I think I've read every post). You are making me get very excited about our trip to Florida.

You forgot to mention that I just printed the guide, but David led the tour...good job ;o)) Of course, I did manage to control the weather so we didn't get wet ;o)) You also forgot to mention that we went in the fudge and ice cream store and came out empty handed also. What an amazing show of restraint we displayed ;o)) Enjoy the rest of your time here and we will catch you later this winter!!<br />Bill and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623061930930874565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-42862926690996146862014-11-25T05:23:19.597-05:002014-11-25T05:23:19.597-05:00What a special place to explore!

At least some of them can throw in interesting history and natural areas as well. Growing up I dreamed of living in an old Victorian. Thank goodness I grew up to know I could never afford to maintain one. And now, after living in a RV so long, I'd surely get lost. It's hard to believe you, or should I say David, bought Nothing at the bakery. Do you think that last pirate is looking for a wench? Fun tour.
