Mini Vacation!

The whole family was in need of a getaway with some R&R.   The perfect spot was the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island in Fernandina.   This was a short trip but I will be going back, even though it's only one and a half hours away from home. 

We got the Atlantic Suite in the Ritz.  The Hotel has what they call the Club.  All rooms that are located on the 8th floor have Free access at all times to this.  The Club is open from 7:00 AM through 10:00 PM daily.  The Club is a lounging room with views of the Ocean with a Fireplace.   They serve food five times a day, with all the beverages you want to drink throughout the day as well as all the alcohol you want to drink.  They have a full bar in the kitchen and all you have to do is ask for your drink and the hostes will get it for you.  The food was so good.  I enjoy champagne, so that was my choice of drink during our stay.

OK!  Lets talk about the room.  We stayed in the Atlantic Suite.  It is a one bedroom 1.5 baths with a living room and dining room.   You walk into the foyer. It has the 1/2 bath in it.  The foyer opens up to the living room and dining room.  There is a wall of sliding doors that open up on the balcony with full ocean front views.  The bedroom has it's own balcony with full ocean front views as well.  The Bathroom!  This bathroom has three TV's. One in each of the mirrors and one by the tub.  The Shower has four jets, rain shower head and shower wand that is all computer controlled. 














 Tomorrow I will post about the Food and the grounds.

A Christmas to Remember

It is always a good time at Christmas.  The pots are clanking from me cooking.  My in-laws are here from down south. My Brother and my nephew came over to have dinner.  The house is full of food and family.  What more can you ask for. 

The hype of Christmas starts one days prior to Christmas Eve. I want to have a nice breakfast on Christmas Day so I make my Egg SoufflĂ© and put it in the fridge.  Christmas morning I take it out and put it in the oven for one hour and Wala! A Christmas Breakfast everyone loves.

My In-laws gave us a Prime Rib Dinner from Honey Baked Ham.  I cooked that for our Christmas Eve Dinner and It was amazingly good.

Our Christmas Day Lunch was some homemade Stromboli

For our Christmas Dinner I had Chicken Parmigiana, Egg Plant Parmigiana and Italian Meatballs.   
Christmas Eve, opening stocking gifts!
Christmas Morning!


The Cat not only get a gift from us but from Grandma as well. Spoiled Cat!
