The first evening we stayed at a nice hotel on the beach. The kids were thrilled to jump in the waves and run on the beach. They love the beach and it's fun to watch them thrilled when we are there.
We got Ritas for a snack after our beach adventure. Andrew slightly ruined my custard moment by telling me it tasted like butter. Oh well. I really don't need to consume all of those extra calories.
The next morning we went to the Alligator Farm. It's a zoo with mostly alligators but also other animals. We got to feed alligators which was a new experience for us. Gabriel was asking for a panda bear the entire morning. On the way out, he spotted one in the gift shop. Who would have known that there would be one there?
We found a very cool restaurant on the water with unique seating. We had a tiki type seating area to ourselves overlooking the water. It was such a peaceful setting, especially if we hadn't had three young children with us.
We stayed at a small cabin at a KOA in St. Augustine. We've decided that unless we are next to a bathroom, even cabin camping isn't for us at this stage in the game. There are too many safety issues with our children to truely relax when we do it by ourselves.
We walked around St. Augustine and saw the fort. When we lived in Daytona, pre-children, I would imagine the day I would bring my kids to the fort. This was a surreal moment because that image came true. What an amazing life I have ... I can't believe we've created three little individuals who we get to protect and teach about the world.
We came home Sunday morning and spent the evening with new friends who live in Celebration. I was anxious about Gabriel's behavior at a new home but so excited to be included in a family get together. I hope we make more memories with our new friends.
