weather change

So...yesterday I said we'd taken our first and last Gulf beach walk of 2015.    Good thing I was specific, because instead of driving north for hours on a crowded interstate, we took another walk along the beach.

here comes the weather....
but its nice and warm right now

This time it was a beach on the Atlantic Ocean, not the Gulf of Mexico.    Our plans to leave Fernandina Beach this morning changed abruptly when we turned the tv on and saw the slowly approaching squall line.  It was embedded with tornadoes and we are under a "watch"  here until 6 p.m. tonight.    That, and the fact that I-95 was directly in its path and would probably be jammed with everyone heading back north after their holidays,  made our decision very easy.     Stay here in our nice Residence Inn suite with a lovely greenway right next door,  guava pastries and plenty of good restaurants, wide beach in easy walking distance (dog friendly at that!) and Downton Abbey season opener on tv?    Yep, we made the right decision.  

Tomorrow we'll head north....

I gotta gets me one of these Marriott beds mom...
