Enjoying St. Augustine!!

Need to catch up on our time here in St. Augustine!

Wednesday was an ovecast day, especially in the morning.  So, Ken and I did some work on our computers.  Then he dropped me off so I could shop at Hobby Lobby (we don't have them in PA and they are such great stores) and a Bells Outlet here in St. Augustine!  I had a good time while he went to the local farmes market and drove through downtown St. Augustine.  He picked me up 2 hours later and then even agreed to take me to Michael's Arts and Crafts.  What a guy!  I was buying beads and wire to keep making some pendants from pieces of shells I collected on the beaches.

After lunch at Willie, we walked 3/4 mile to St. Augustine Beach.  It was difficult to find a place to get access to the beach since they are in the process of refurbishing.  Our evening was relaxed and quiet!

St. Augustine Beach about 3/4 mile from ou campground!

This is the walkway from our CG to the Beach!


Yesterday we spent the morning talking with friends and family back home.  I got to skype with our granddaughters!  Ken had numerous phone calls to our library back home and eventually was able to download library books onto his I-Pad.  He was one happy boy!!!

At 1:00 Coy and Betsy picked us up to go into downtown St. Augustine.  We toured the very interesting Castillo de San Marcos Fort and then walked the downtown area.  Had a light supper at an Italian Restaurant that offered 2 drinks for the price of 1 and a free piece of brick oven pizza during their Happy Hour.  What a deal and the pizza was delicious.  Then they offered a 10" pizza at $5.00 off as an exta.  We ate outside and had a great time!

Here are numerous pictures of the fort -




What a view from up above!



The 4 of us at the Fort. Happy Campers!
Then back to their campsite to enjoy a walk on the beach, the beautiful sunset and some "howling" at the full moon over the ocean. It was a fun day and evening.

The beach is just a "walkway" from Besty and Coy's
campsite!


This is the beach walkway from their CG.
What a gorgeous sunset!

Bryn Mar.  Note the covered "gazebo" type structure.
Lots of the sites have one in this CG.
