And yet we still took another trip - St. Augustine

Okay, so just a minute ago I said I would never travel alone with a toddler again. For the record, this trip was with Greg, and it made all the difference.


Okay, this is before we left, but I just have to document that it is possible to eat corn on the cob with only one tooth. So when we're 80 and lose all our teeth, we will be dining on corn on the cob for sure!
We rented a beach house with Greg's old roommate and his family in St. Augustine for the weekend.



FORT MATANZAS
We took a boat ride over to this tiny little fort where a huge massacre happened. We only looked at it when we visited in November because it was really cold, and we had missed the boat ride.
The fort
Julia climbed ladders
And played with canons


And played with gun powder
And learned how to walk on uneven surfaces

Family pic!



CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS

We watched a canon demonstration


Life is always fun with 4 kids in tow



Sophie giving Julia a hug - they are 7 months apart.



EL GALEON

We took a tour of this 16th-century Spanish ship

Training to become a pirate!

BEACH TIME

I have to preface by saying there is absolutely nothing cuter than a baby on a beach. This is only a few of the hundreds of pics I took.

And nothing cuter than Greg jumping waves with his daughter. She was terrified of the water.


But she really liked playing with her sand shovel and bucket

And eating the sand


Digging a moat - she is a very good sandcastle maker for a 14-month-old!


TROLLEY TOUR

1st stop, the old jail. The second cutest thing ever is a baby walking around a jail!
 



On the trolley!

BACK HOME!
We wore her out so much, she came home and practiced her recorder laying down. Bad form, Julia! Good thing your mom's not a music teacher!
