Outdoor Eating, who doesn’t love that? We have some amazing spots here in Fernandina, I was actually surprised by how many we have when I started doing research on this topic! One of the best things about living in Florida is our weather and the long warm months. I can’t think of anything better than sitting on a beautiful outdoor patio, warm winds, good friends!
