I'm typing this blog post while lounging on a couch (with my feet stretched out irreverently on the lounge chair a few feet away) in my vacation suite, only three blocks away from the beach.
That's right. I, Liz Overton, am at the beach. *happy sigh*
My friend Katherine and I traveled 9+ hours to lovely Amelia Island, home of Fernandina Beach, Florida. We arrived too late tonight to head to the beach, but did drive by, stick our feet in and inhale the sea breeze.
I haven't been to the beach in 12 years, despite the fact that I LOVE the ocean. (When I was about 11-12 years old, I was dead-set on being a marine biologist when I grew up. That dream didn't last long, but I still love the ocean and ocean animals.) And I haven't been outside of East Tennessee in years, let alone on a "real" vacation. So I am beside myself with excitement to be here!
I will post more about our road trip adventure down here, including pictures, tomorrow. But for now, we're here safe and sound, ready to hit the beach in the morning!
