For Easter weekend we went to Amelia Island to visit Eli and Amelia. We got there Thursday night and went out to dinner down by the beach. Friday Amelia and Eli were both off work so we packed a picnic and went out on the boat. Eli caught a 27 pound Black drum, Pete caught a 50 inch Red Fish, Amelia caught a 36 inch Red Fish, Grace caught lots of pictures and a tan. Saturday we rode our bikes out to Fort Clinch and then into town for lunch. Saturday night we had a fish fry and watched a movie. Sunday we went to sunrise service and then to church where Amelia and Grace worked in the nursery. Sunday afternoon we went to the beach and then relaxed at the house. It was a wonderful trip!
These were two of the mammoth fish caught on this trip. Amazingly, the boys landed these two fish at almost the exact same time.

Amelia's large red fish. Notice the boat behind them. This was a guided trip and they had the unfortunate luck to be right next to us as we landed three huge fish and they were unable to catch anything more than small whitings. We were sure that guide was getting an earful from his unhappy, fishless customers.
