DAY 17: Full Circle

 

Observation of the day

Traveling is awesome, but heading home is the best.

 

Quote of the day

“It’s like riding that giant ferris wheel in Atlanta. You can ride while watching your car getting broken into.” -- a South Carolina tourist responding to his wife when she said the view looked at a parking lot.

 

VM & EM: Today we reluctantly said so long to our bunny friends and headed south by 8:30am. We went from N. Carolina to S. Carolina to Georgia and finally, Florida! Except for some nasty rainstorms, most of the driving was uneventful, boring I-95 driving. By 2:30pm we pulled into our last pit stop of this adventure, the Sea Cottages of Amelia Island (https://seacottagesofamelia.com). 

 

Back to the humidity!

EM scouted out a spot in Fernandina Beach for linner, The Salty Pelican (https://thesaltypelicanamelia.com). We enjoyed the most delicious shrimp. Afterwards, we walked around downtown Fernandina Beach for a bit before heading back to our place.

 

Our last indulgence of the journey was a stop at Dairy Queen. To work it off, we took a 5-mile trek on the beach towards Amelia Island. Needless to say, we are pooped.

 

Working off our ice cream!!!

We have loved every moment of this East Coast Adventure but can’t wait to go home to our family tomorrow -- human, canine and feline!

Don't think we'd mess with this North Carolina farmer.
