Scott and I decided to have a weekend getaway to St. Augustine, Florida for our "babymoon" and our goodbye to living by the beach. I'm gonna miss being so close to the water. Scott has lived in Florida for 13 years, so it's harder for him to say goodbye. After the winter they've had in KY we are both sure to miss the perfect Florida weather. We will have to go back to visit with Cooper! The babymoon was so relaxing and a nice break from dealing with the move. We went to the beach and enjoyed touring the historic downtown St. Augustine. It's hard to believe how different our vacations will be in the future!
We arrived on Friday evening April 4. It was only a 2 hour drive from Orlando.
First stop after checking in: the beach!
We went to dinner that night downtown and toured around. It is such a neat place with so many restaurants and historic sites to see. (32 weeks pregnant)
We spent Saturday at the beach. That night Scott decided we HAD to go on one of their ghost tours. It actually ended up being pretty fun and Scott claims he captured a ghost on camera.
one stop on the tour was the original jail house
I nominated Scott to volunteer to go into this cage with our tour guide
and here is the "ghost" it is the white streak going through the noose. The guide claims that these "orbs" that appear in photos are the ghosts making their appearance known. Scott proudly was showing it off to the guide.
Finally on Sunday we toured the original Lighthouse before heading back home. We even climbed the 14 flights of stairs to the top to the lighthouse. I had to take a few breaks but I made it! It was worth it once we saw the view.
