Well after a partically rough tax season we finally got away for a much needed break, even if it was just for two days. We went to St. Augustine. It was absolutly wonderful time. I feel that I need to sort the trip into multiple entries. This is because Gabe discovered that it was really fun to take pictures and he took pictures of EVERYTHING. If he was not in the picture it is a good chance that he took it. He kept holding the camera and calling it his precious LOL. I am trying to narrow it down to pictures that I think everyone might like. The kid did not make it easy, he took over 500 pictures and most of them were really good (don't worry I will not show all of them)
To start with I thought I would share pictures from the fort. Hands down it was probably the kids favorite part. Gave actually wants to work there when he grows up. :0)
These top three shots were just random shots from around the fort. It was really beautiful there. We arrived on the first day and could not go on the top because they were having thunderstorm warnings. Our pass (only payed for the adults, kids were free) lasted for a whole week. We could come and go as much as we pleased. So after exploring the inside for a little bit we decided to head back to the hotel and came back the next day. Really glad that we did. We arrived at the opening so no one else was there yet and the kids got to talk with a park ranger a little bit. When the park ranger heard that they were homeschooled he gave them each an activity book about the fort.
This whole section was all about the cannons. The kids loved the cannons. (good thing because the town had cannons all over the place.)
This picture is really neat because you can see where all of the cannon balls have hit the wall over the years. (just click on the picture to make it larger for easier viewing.)
Saying good bye to the Fort. We had to put a limit on it because the kids did really love it and wanted to keep going back. We had to little time there and wanted to see so much more. I will actually put a link for the museum that was right across the road that we went to. It was the Pirate Museum. A very cool museum that I highly recommend. My only problem with the museum is that we were not allowed to take pictures. So sorry no pictures. Check here though if you want to learn more about the museum.
