Fort Clinch to Anastasia

Spent 2 nights at Fort Clinch State Park,which is on the border of Georgia and Florida,on Amelia Island,just South of Cumberland Island. In fact you can take a ferry from Historic Downtown Ferdanina Beach to Cumberland Island in case you want to see where John John and Carolyn tied the knot.

 The campgrounds themselves are pretty nice, including bathrooms that are way nicer than my bathroom at home: recessed lighting,gleaming subway tile,nice and warm. Of course,my bathroom at home doesn't have 3 blondes with southern accents applying makeup at the mirror. ..OR DOES IT???
 Apparently,there is a Fort there as well as a lighthouse. We didn't investigate,since I find Civil War Wonks to be really annoying, and Mark reacts to Lighthouses the way some people react to clowns.

But the area itself is one of those great not what you think of when you think of Florida places. A great beach, a really nice little downtown.We went to a Saloon there to watch the Pats on Sunday Night. They had a live band which I actually liked. Yikes.

Today we moved on to Anastasia St. Park in St Augustine. This is probably the nicest State Park ever.  Great surf sounds from your bed. Tomorrow we're going driving on the beach,and checking out Old St. Augustine.
