St. Augustine

Ok, finally the last of the Florida pictures. I am a total slacker. We drove down to St. Augustine. I think this was one of my favorite things to do. The city was so cool and it was a beautiful day. We started it out with....a morning devotional.

We can't forget the stop at the Harley Davidson store to celebrate "Bike"-tober. This place was huge. We actually couldn't stop, just a drive by.

And we can't get too far without a stop for breakfast and a diet coke in a styrofoam cup. Love it.

Next stop: St. Augustines. I was so excited to practice taking pictures with my camera. My uncle was so great to help me and show me some tips. We had a great time. In St. Augustine, we saw Castillo de San Marcos. It was a castle built by the Spanish to protect ther empire in America. It was built in 1756.

At the mission they had a cannon re-enactment. This was pretty cool.

These are some of my favorite pictures of the mission.

Jen talking to Lisa on the phone. It was as if she was there!

Getting my lesson in photography.

Whatever it takes to get the shot. Photographers--got to love them.

After the misson, we walked around the city. We ate at a fantastic resteraunt and had the best fish tacos. We also stopped at a chocolate shop. That was great. But the Chocolate covered Key Lime Pie was our favorite little gem.

It was such a great trip. I'm so ready to go back. Beautiful city.

Halloween

Ok, I have not finished my Florida pics, but I had to post Halloween. It's always fun to dress up and be someone else for a day.

Right before the assembly. I was kind of nervous. Me, Amy, and Kathy

Amy, Kathy and I all participated in the faculty dance in the assembly. I totally wanted to do it, but didn't want to do it alone--so I recruited. It was pretty fun.

We danced to the monster mash. We had to make up 16 counts of dance steps. Amy and I totally rocked it. Can't wait for next year.

Me and Amy .

JC and me and Wace-- My favorite students.

The front office always goes all out for Halloween. This year their theme was "Under the Sea"

I need my space.

Day 3-Kennedy Space Center. This was awesome. All of a sudden everyone becomes this weird science geek. It's so cool that we send people to space. Wow. Well we started off the day with a Diet Coke. (The first McDonald's we saw)

And here we are at Kennedy Space Center. It was so cool. We rode in a space ship simulator. That was pretty cool The build up was scarier then the actual ride.

We took tour of the area. It stopped in different places and highlighted different parts of the space program. It was so interesting.
One of the places we could see the space shuttle on the launch pad. It was pretty cool.
Next stop: Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach. I was so excited.
We programmed in the address and we were on our way. Thanks to Garmin. Love it. It was on A1A BEACH FRONT AVE Yes this is where you want to sing--Ice, Ice, Baby.




This place was pretty cool. It was huge. This was definitley a highlight of the trip.

Jen and I bought jackets--such a great purchase. Ron Jon's was huge. It had a waterfall in the store.

One of my favorite signs in the store said; "Please don't try on the swimsuits if you are oily, wet, or sandy." It made me laugh. The life of a surfer. How would it be?
