Amelia Island to Apalachicola Florida

Last night was our last day on Amelia Island. We had a great time there and for those that are looking for a very quiet, historical town, that is not commercial like so many other beaches, then this is the place to go.
We had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful unusual rainbow last night.


Our last morning sunrise. 
 We drove across Florida to the Pan Handle. First stop was St. Marks Lighthouse.

The lighthouse is also in a Wildlife Refuge



 We were just a little early, but there were hundreds of monarch butterflies here. They migrate here in October and stay until mid November. They were everywhere.

On down the road was Crooked River Lighthouse. Not your usual structure for a lighthouse. We couldn't climb it, because it is only open Saturday and Sundays for climbs.


Tomorrow we are going to a few more lighthouses, but it is suppose to be rainy so pictures probably won't be so good. Then we will be going on across the Panhandle of Florida and then headed home.
