Amelia Island

Ben, Emery and I spent last week at Amelia Island Plantation with his family. Technically, this is a work trip for Ben, his dad and his brother. Aside from a few meetings, most of the trip is an excuse for us to all be together and have a blast! This trip was very easy....short plane rides and built-in babysitters (Grandma and Grandpa Slagel). I definitely want to get back to Amelia Island soon....what a great spot for a family vacation. All of the restaurants and resorts are extremely kid-friendly.
Dinner at the Ritz Carlton. Austin got to tour the kitchen and was given a chef's hat. Very cool.

The kids' menu at Salt (Ritz restaurant) is delicious. Emery had chicken with pasta in alfredo sauce and Austin had filet mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies. "Petite Gourmet"

Thank goodness we had bikes and golf carts to get around the island. The ride from the airport in Jacksonville to the resort was seriously crammed.

Emery and Austin thought the outdoor shower was way cool. Next time I'll just bring her baby shampoo and her jammies with me to the beach and get her ready for bed al fresco.

Looking for shells

Found one!

Emery made a beeline for the water. The child is fearless!

Halloween party. Don't ask us what we are because we have no idea. Ben bought our costumes in the hotel gift shop the day of the party. Jerry, Korey, me and Ben.

The end!
