We went on a family trip to St. Augustine.
We got into St. Augustine Sunday afternoon and checked into our hotel. The twins started jumping as soon as we entered our room. Our hotel was right on the beach, but it was raining!!! So we drove downtown and visited Flagler College. It used to be a 300 room hotel in the mid 1800's and was turned into a college in 1968. It was beautiful.
On Monday we toured downtown St. Augustine alone with Fort Castillo de San Marcos. It was amazing hearing the history of these forts built by the Spanish back in 1672. I liked learning about how they fired their cannons, black-powered guns, and life on a fort.
We then enjoyed going out for pizza and coming back for a late night hot-tub. Or as the kids would say, "hot swimming pool"
On Tuesday it was Sunny!!! We therefore got to go to the beach in the morning. We didn't swim, but we found lots of seashells and rocks. The twins were scared of the larger waves, but it was cute to watch them running around on the sand. We then swam in our pool/hot-tub and enjoyed the sunny morning before we had to check out. On our drive home we went to Fort Matanzas. It was another cute fort constructed in the 1700's.
