Eggscellent B&B Breakfast and Amelia River Cruise {Amelia Island, FL}

Welcome to our new blog friends from Vitamix! I’m currently blogging about my recent vacation to Florida, but I have some new recipes coming soon! In the meantime, here we go…just a couple posts left!

Though we wanted to spend the majority of our time relaxing, we wanted to do a couple touristy things while we were in Amelia Island. The boar tour was high on our list (in addition to the bus tour and carriage ride).

{This is one of my favorite photos from the trip, and I snapped it on our boat tour. I love the way the old buildings contrast with the new boats and how with the masts reach into the bright blue sky}

But first, we started the day with another delicious and filling breakfast at our B&B, Hoyt House. Hellooooo, sticky bun!

I ordered what became my usual – the fried eggs with potatoes (this time with shredded potatoes and Canadian bacon).

Hubby opted for the breakfast sandwich.

We headed through downtown to the pier where the boat tours depart. We thought we were running late, but we just made it on time. We took the 10:30am Cumberland Island tour with Amelia River Cruises.

See the pink birds? They’re not flamingos. They’re Roseate spoonbills, and apparently they aren’t often here on the island, so it was cool we got to see them.

Dolphin sighting! We saw a few on our trip.

{Our historian and presenter – she shared lots of interesting facts and stories on our trip}

{Our captain – had a lot of info to share, too!}

90’s kids, do you recognize this house? It’s Pippi Longstocking’s house! I was a big fan of her as a kid. I even dressed up as Pippi for Halloween one year!

The white line in the water is where different bodies of water meet.

One of the best parts of the boat tour – pets are allowed!

{The famous wild horses}

Bailey loved the boat tour.

Do you see what I see on this boat? It’s a mini garden. Very smart!

Bailey made friends with a little girl on the boat and showed off some tricks. What a ham!

I took a lot more photos, but there are only so many that fit well in a blog post. I tried to share the best ones! We had a great time on the boat tour and definitely recommend it if you’re ever visiting in Amelia Island. You’ll learn a lot, see some great scenery, and enjoy the fresh air as you cruise down the water.

There was a restaurant right where our boat returned, so we went ahead and ate there – Brett’s Waterway Café.

We wanted to enjoy some views of the water a bit longer.

Hubby got the soup and salad.

I ordered the grilled salmon, which came with green beans and a rice pilaf. I wanted something light (but not a salad), and this hit the spot. I ordered the sauce on the side and ended up not really needing it. The fish was flavorful enough on its own.

And with lunch done, we headed back through downtown on the way to the B&B.
