At 2:00 in the afternoon, Tommy and I pulled out of our driveway with our new temporary housing unit for yet another adventure out west. She, the trailer, was named Rita in honor of all the Margaritas that will be consumed in and around her. Which I'm sure will be many!
We met up with several friends in St. Augustine, FL. Bobby and Tracey, Brenda and Tony, Tanya and Chris, and the birthday boy - Mike. We stayed at the KOA and had a blast.
We arrived last on Friday, so the gang had already played all day and were ready for dinner. Of course we jumped right in.
Saturday morning we woke up to Bobby cooking breakfast for everyone. Always an awesome meal when Bobby cooks. After breakfast, we all headed down to the beach. It is 3/4 of a mile from where we were staying. The day was clear and sunny, the beach is very clean and we all got burnt. But yes, we all used 50+ sunscreen.
There is a hotel situated on the beach and they offer this huge slip and slide for their guests. If you are a beach goer you can purchase an armband to utilize the slide for the entire day. It looked like alot fun but none of us advantage of it. Too much effort to climb it...hee hee.
Tracey, Tanya and I walked almost 3 miles on the waters edge while the boys played football and consumed all the beer they brought with them. LOL. After the beach, we all jumped in the pool at the campsite, showered and headed downtown.
St. Augustine is the countries oldest city and is full of history. Still standing is the oldest one-room wooden school house in which you can tour. St Augustine also offers self walking tours through Fort Matanzas. Very cool. They have 'ghost' tours in the evening in where you walk through the graveyard and visit several houses where they are haunted from the battles that took place there. St Augustine is very very pretty and is full of things to do.
It was supposed to be the end of the world while we were walking downtown and at 6pm when it didn't happen all the church bells were sounded. We celebrated hard being; the end was coming, and then we celebrated harder when we all survived the Armageddon.
Bobby yet again, cooked another great steak dinner. Fillet Mignon, baked potatoes, etc. was Mike's choice. It was his 40th birthday - and it was alot of fun.
Everyone pulled out Sunday morning and the gang headed southbound for home. We headed west towards Paducah, KY to visit with Tommy's brother and his family.
We will write more then, for now I hope you enjoy the pictures.
