Mornings on the Atlantic Ocean
Shirt Dress || Not Shown: Sandals || Tumbler
It’s the start of the new workweek. While I’m currently sitting at home and getting ready for the day, I’m still feeling recharged after a long weekend’s stay on Amelia Island. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing all the details about our stay. To start things off, I can’t help but brag about our beautiful mornings. Consider it you’re very own Monday pick-me-up from me!
While out of town, we a very simple morning ritual. I highly recommend waking up first thing in the morning and take in an Atlantic Ocean sunrise. Our hotel, the Elizabeth Pointe Lodge, was the perfect location to make all of that happen. Whether it’s having breakfast on the oceanfront patio or taking your coffee to go, both are therapeutic ways to start the new day.
With a coffee in hand, we started on our long strong on Amelia Island Beach. Although I’ve been to the east coast of Florida plenty of times, I’m always so blown away by how different beaches are from the Gulf Coast. With a storm way out in the ocean, the waves were absolutely wild. Brave surfers were out first thing in the morning, something you never see on Saint Pete Beach. The sand was almost a warm caramel color and absolutely stocked with all kinds of shells. There were so many for the picking. I had a wary eye out for shark teeth, but alas no such luck this trip.
No trip to the beach is ever complete with daydreaming over the local real estate. Who doesn’t think about someday owning their very own vacation home on the water? There were just so many to choose from, but this one instantly spoke to me! Located a few houses down from our hotel, this home is in the dreamiest shade of sea green with a front-row view of each sunrise.
The weather during our short stay couldn’t have been better! I was able to wear longer and heavier pieces without sweating through. This shirt dress from Tuckernuck had been calling my name for so long! The embroidered ikat pattern is even prettier in person. Although I didn’t wear them on the sand, my Sarah Flint sandals were on hand.
Love from Florida,
Katie
