Friday morning around 7:00AM Dave and I packed up the car and headed south. Our destination Amelia Island Plantation. We arrived around 1:00, we stopped for breakfast on the way down and stopped at Target for some goodies. We checked in to our room at the Sea Dunes on the other side of the resort from the main check in. There is one main hotel and a bunch of other hotel/condo complexes. The resort also has a ton of private homes. After check in we went to grab some lunch and then went to the golf cart rental place and got a cart for the rest of the weekend. We went a got our suites on and sat by the pool for a bit. Friday night's dinner was amazing, we ate at the Verandah. It was pricey was totally worth it. I drove the golf cart home after dinner due to Dave's rum and cokes. On our way back we saw a possum. It was about 50 feet in front of us on the side of the road....as we got closer it started to cross the street headed right for us. In a car this would be scary, in a golf cart..different story. So I did what anyone would have done. I screamed. It heard me and took off in the other direction. It was pretty funny.

The next morning we woke up to the ocean, our room was on the 2nd floor with an AMAZING view of the ocean. We got in our golf cart and headed to breakfast at the Amelia Inn. We both go the buffet... and when the bill came dave took one look at it and turns to me and says "yeah, i'm going back for more". It was a VERY expensive meal. I'm recommend going to breakfast off the resort. After breakfast we went to the Spa. I got a wrap and Dave got a massage. It was glorious. We headed to the pool afterwards to sit and hang out. We garbed lunch at the Inn's pool side food stand....$12 for a cheeseburger and it was the worst cheeseburger ever. Dave's hotdog was $8. It was humorous how much everything is on the resort. Very much like Disneyworld. But we were sitting by the pool with a view of the ocean. Doesn't get much better than that.

That night we went off property to an Italian place for dinner. It was nice to see normal prices for stuff. It was an amazing meal. Right in the middle of this little downtown area.

Sunday morning we woke up and packed up our stuff. We went to a smaller place for a quick breakfast and dropped off our golf cart. Dave had a 10:50 tee time on the Ocean Links course. I was the driver, score keeper, and photographer. We played with a cool guy from philly. His name was Hilton. The course was really pretty and I got to drive the cart like it was a game. Almost tossed Dave out a few times.

We left the resort around 4:00 and headed for Charleston. We were going to stop at this place called Down Under Restaurant but it looked like a dump so we didn't even get out of the car. The road it was on was not paved well and I started to feel sick. I threw up about 20 minutes later. Dave pulled over on the side of the highway. After I took a nap I felt much better.

We got back to Charleston around 8PM. It was a great weekend!
