Eric can't wait to get there. :)
Here we all are at Flagler College in Saint Augustine, the country's oldest inhabited town. It was founded in 1565!
Here is a shot taken as we left Flagler College. The buildings and architecture in the town are beautiful.
We went to the beach a few times, and believe it or not... I didn't burst into flames! Amazing, eh? It only took half a tube of suntan lotion, too. Katie and I going for more of a TAN than a burn...
Eric got some sweet air over this wave on the second beach day! The water was absolutely gorgeous. It was warmer than the temperature controlled pool at our resort. It was a nice surprise after being used to freezing cold water of the Pacific Ocean!
We found a gorgeous "private" beach behind this really nice hotel. There were no signs that said we couldn't be there, so we stayed!
The sky at sunset that day. It was breathtaking.
Eric and Dave played Mrs. Pac Man in our villa quite a bit.
One very warm day, we visited the St. Augustine Alligator Farm.
We fed these guys. There were piles of gators in that tank!
They had a feeding demonstration. At one point, this lady almost got chased down by a massive alligator who wanted a snack.
They had a 19 foot, 2000 lb. alligator named Gomek that was stuffed and put on display after he died. Can you imagine actually being near such a huge creature? Katie can. :p
Dave and Katie with Gomek...
This guy waved goodbye as we left, hehe.
Towards the end of our trip we visited the Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum, which was a blast.
They had some seriously strange things on display. Here is Katie next to a wax figure of an 11 foot man, for instance. I believe he is the world's tallest man to date.
If you've ever read the Bathroom Reader we have in our house, you've read about Mike!
That's about all I have time for. Hopefully I can post tomorrow with some of the pictures I took. Happy Wednesday bloggers!
