Good morning!
Just a quick Frugal update for vacation ideas. This week has been our Spring Break and we spent the week together as a family to slow down, catch our breath and enjoy each other.
Our plans included a great campout at Little Talbot Island State Park. A smaller sized state park for camping, but the spaces were secluded and well set up. Bathhouses were extra clean. The campground had a kayak launch into the salt marshes and a beach with access 24 x7. At one point on Friday night, it was the Frugal beach as we were the only ones there!

Amelia Island and Fort Clinch is nearby. Fort George is to the south and is a cultural gem with exhibits dedicated to the life of the Timicuan Indians.
The Jacksonville Zoo is about 20 miles away. The Frugals were last there over 15 years ago and a lot of work has been done to the zoo and the changes are simply amazing, Congratulations Jacksonville Zoo!

The rest of the week has been spent painting and redecorating (in a frugal manner) our bedroom. You cannot appreciate the changes until you do your own bedroom, but the price is well worth it. For less than $100 you can paint the ceiling, walls and trim, rearrange the furniture, put on a new bedset and the room changes from a Master Bedroom to an Owner's Retreat in a days work.
The rest of the week will include deep sea fishing, perhaps a movie and some needed time in the yard. We have had a full week, but a very productive and family focused week at that!
Thanks for checking in!
