Our Last Day in St. Augustine! So Sad!!!

Well, this is it!  Our final full day in Florida for 2012!  Can't believe the 8 weeks are all gone!!!!!  We have had the time of our life!!!

Ken spent a lot of the morning packing up things outside for our return trip tomorrow.  I worked inside doing the same.  Then I packed our lunch and we left at 11:30 to head to Vilano Beach (north of St. Augustine) and to get there we had to go thru downtown St. Augustine.  Ken wanted to do that 1 more time before heading home.  It was another gorgeous day to be on the beach, about 80 with full sunshine and a light breeze.  Perfect!!  We left the beach at 3:15 and got our last view of the harbor, downtown St. Augustine, and the ride over the Bridge of the Lions.  We had to wait 10 minutes while 6 sailboats went under the raised drawbridge.  How picturesque!

After getting some groceries and gas for the trip home, we went back to Willie to continue the packing process.  Also did a load of laundry so I was sure we would both have underwear till we got home!!!!!

Ken disconnected the sewer after supper so we can definitely get an early start in the morning.  Hope to be on our way by 7:30.  We have about 1000 miles so we aren't sure if we will get to Akron PA on Sunday or Monday.  It will depend on the weather and how everything goes.  Traveling 500 miles per day can be pretty tiring and taxing!  We shall see!

Now the whining begins!!

The waves in the Atlantic Ocean here in Florida break
out farther in the water and then come rolling in
so gently, because the beach is so flat!

At many of the beaches you can pay to bring your
car on the beach.  Today was extremely busy on the beach!
Must have to do with Spring Break!


Who is the lady hidden under the black hat????  She
continues to look for shell pieces for jewelry making!
