St. Augustine

Last weekend Joe and I got to visit the oldest city in the United States... St. Augustine. It is only a little over an hour away. We had a great time seeing all of the old buildings and all the history that the city has.

We spent alot of time in the historical district going in all the little shops there.
Joe and I bought these new hats at the Panama Hat Company... what do you think?




Aren't you glad I didn't choose this one (pic below)!!! It just wasn't me! :~)

There are so many restaurants and little bakeries and ice cream shops and chocolate shops... Yum!

We went to the national monument 'Castillo de San Marcos' which was built over 300 years ago by the Spanish.

We went on a self guided tour... it was WARM so we didn't stay too long but here are some pics we took.






It is a very beautiful city... Joe and I can't wait to go again. You can easily spend a few days there. We will be going back at night next time to do a ghost tour of the famous St. Augustine Lighthouse... The same one that the Ghost Hunters did an episode about on TV...
