Celebrating 3 years

While our anniversary isn't till next Tuesday, the 14th, we will actually be moving into our new apartment on that day, so hubby and I decided to celebrate a little early. The past two years we went to B&Bs and really enjoyed them, so we decided to look for one this year. We found The Hoyt House on Amelia Island, and really liked it. The house was built in the 1905 and was converted into a B&B in the early 90's. Amelia Island is a small, beautiful, quaint island in Florida, near Jacksonville, and was great. We were able to walk into town to shop, browse, and eat. We spent one morning at Fort Clinch and hiking on trails in a state park, and the afternoons either relaxing, or walking around in town.

Happy 3 years!

The Hoyt House Bed and Breakfast. Each morning started with homemade sticky buns (to die for), a fresh fruit dish, and then either an egg or a grain dish (pancakes, waffles).

Photo-op at Fort Clinch. The short hair cut was cool in the heat!

The inside of Fort Clinch. It was a union fort during the Civil War.

Dinner Monday night was at a cute courtyard cafe.

Dinner Tuesday night was a really cute French restaurant - Le Clos.

After realizing how much we enjoy these weekend getaways at B&Bs, we've decided to make it a 50 year adventure! Unplanned, we have been to three different B&Bs in three different states- so our new goal is to go to a B&B in every state to celebrate our anniversaries. So far we've been to South Carolina, Georgia, and now Florida. Kinda cool to start thinking about and planning for!

  1. How cute! That sounds like such a good plan to visit a new B&B every year. Happy anniversary!
