Our 7 hour trip down to St. Augustine was so crazy we stopped like 6 times to use the restroom... no seriously we did.. We stopped at Walmart to buy random crazy food, like cheeze-its all natural smoothies, york peppermints ( the big round ones ), Rice cakes, orange gatoraid, and bananas. And we didn't arrive there until close to 11:30pm. When we arrived my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin Katie welcomed us with warm hospitality. We had a tea party up in our guest room ( yummy red tea ) and talked till we all fell asleep. It was marvelous.On the First day ( Monday ) we woke up and went to explore the beautiful historic Island. We drove over the bridge of lions and parked at the "Ripley's Believe it or not Museum" we thought about going in... but decided not too, although we did have fun going through the little house that was carved completely out of a tree stump, it was pretty cool... I guess. We walked down the pier and through the little shops and town, stopping here and there just because we could. And met Katie for Tea ( she wasn't with us for most of the day, bc she had lab work to do ). This cute little tea shop had the most amazing selection of tea I have ever seen. We came home only after another long walk ( like 3 hours ) sitting on the wall at the fort and walking over the bridge of lions. Aunt Kelli made us tacos, yes they were yummy.
Our Secound day there we woke up super early and went to the beach, Katie couldn't come bc she had some lab work to do... so we hit the beach @ around 7:30 it was so beautiful absolutely no one was out yet and we walked about enjoying the general splendor of God's creation that surrounded us. We had breakfast at the beachcomber ( which was located [ for our convienance of course ] right on the beach ). The day was spent flinging frisbees ( and for Bethany [Jelly Fish], taking long walks, laughing, trying to swim in the FREEZING ocean, racing, reading, and enjoying each others company.
