And the visits over

I feel like my family came and went so quickly, even though they were here for a full 7 days.  I think everyone was ready to get back home to normal life again though.  Their last night here we went out to a nice dinner at Mezza Luna.  BUT,  before we left we had to do family photos as requested by mom and dad.

Group shot?

These were great to get because Justin set up the camera on a timer.  In this try I guess Justin is looking at John? And with another try…

Yup, John’s eyes are shut.  Unfortunately, we didn’t notice that right away so this is the best one we got.  We also got one of Jess, John, Justin and I.

And at dinner we had the waiter take a picture of all of us, with all of our eyes open.

Kinda blurry, but it’ll have to work.

St. Augustine

St. Augustine, FL is beautiful.  Seriously, go there if you get the chance.  I have been with my family a few times and we loved it so much we went again this visit.

Here I am, tour guide for the day.  Not really, I do not know why I am walking backwards.

There are so many cool historic buildings and unique little shops to check out.  I think it is impossible to see it all in a day.

Yup, here I am awkwardly alone on a bench.  This one of the little alleyways with the shops everywhere.

Jess, John and dad shopping, I really wish I knew what they are looking at.  Looks like something pretty fascinating.

and… we got some frozen yogurt.

We also stopped in this cool little bar where there was live music.

This guy was outstanding, he played some Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, and even Prince.  Yes, Prince!  We hung out there for a while.

Here are Jess and John, really into it apparently.

Next we had lunch/dinner at an Irish restaurant right on the water, sorry I forget what it was called.

Nice view right?

Oh you want to ride in a horse carriage? In St. Augustine you can. I can’t help but feel bad for the horses though, poor babies.

Dad and I.

Oh and I also managed to find a dog and take a picture with him.

I love me some dogs.
