St. Augustine for the Weekend

Welcome to St. Augustine read the large stone sign on the right side of the road. It was truly welcomed as we had been in the car for 5, no 6 hours. When we arrived at the Hutt house, dinner and our fun aunt and uncle were waiting for us. They really do live in an awesome house really close to the downtown area...take a look at this. Of course I had to include a picture of the famous tree in the yard as well.






After a tasty dinner, we all hopped in the Jeep for an evening tour of the area.






The buildings here are amazing and I was already planning out the photos I will take in the morning with my camera. The tour was complete with a lot of opportunities to watch people, admire old church buildings, listen to the ocean waves crash along the shore, smell the salt (and horses
from the carriage rides), and hear unique stories about the school.
The next morning started with a nice breakfast on the beach....no complaints here. I had an awesome omelet and Steven couldn't even finish all his toast.



After breakfast we headed for town to begin our walking tour. At this point, I will just let the pictures tell the story. You can see the fort, the churches, the houses, and the college downtown. We walked all day and had a great time.






















Before heading back to the house for a nap, we stopped by the boat dock to visit with some of Uncle Danny's friends and they gave us a tour of their boat. It was very relaxing to sit on the boat and chat for a few minutes.



We enjoyed a nice dinner with seafood before heading to bed for the night. Our journey home started on Friday morning complete with a ferry ride and driving on the beach.






Thanks to the Huttos for an awesome weekend. Will we come back another weekend? We both say YES!
