Weekend in St. Augustine

Hey everyone,
I just got back from a weekend vacation to St. Augustine. How long has it been since you've been there?!? I haven't been there since I was a little kid, so it was fun to see the sights over again. Friday night we went to a comedy club and saw a pretty good show, but I don't have any pictures. The following pictures are from Saturday and Sunday, and I'll leave some captions.


Saturday morning we saw City Hall and the Lightner Museum. Pretty nice courtyard.


Next up was St. George Street in the old town, we did some shopping and general sightseeing.


Then we went to the beach to the north, toward Jacksonville. It was extremely shelly.

After the beach we had dinner at Harry's, and here's a picture of Christina with, if you didn't notice, a much svelter version of me. (I'm down 15 pounds so far)





Later that night we went on the "Ghosts and Gravestones" tour, which was surprisingly entertaining. The actors were all really good, and the stories they told were interesting because they were all historically accurate. This is a pic of the gallows behind the old jail.



Sunday morning we went to the Castillo De San Marcos, aka "the fort". This was where I made absolutely sure my scalp and forehead were burnt. The first picture was taken inside the powder magazine, where they kept all the gunpowder. it's pretty tight in there because they built the walls to be extremely thick to guard enemy fire from causing an accidental explosion.

To finish off the trip we went to St. Augustine's beach, which was much nicer than the first beach. I thought the 3 foot drop in the sand at the water was pretty interesting. The people in the picture are right at the cliff.




Well I think I have sufficiently slowed Jae's site down to a crawl with all these pictures, so I think I'm good to stop here. No one has really posted much in a while, so what has everyone else been up to?
PS to Nick: Sorry I missed the football draft, this post explains why. I am pretty happy with the team the computers picked for me, I think I still have a pretty good chance!
