As I mentioned yesterday, Hubby and I went to St Augustine, FL for a long weekend trip. We both had Presidents day off, so it was a nice getaway. The weather was a little warmer than here but not too much! I took a lot of pictures and tried to narrow it down to my favorites but it was hard but here are the top ones. 
Hope you enjoy!
The first day we wandered around Historic Downtown St. Augustine and saw the neatest water wheel:
A break for a latte and pumpkin muffin. I couldn’t resist taking a picture of the heart. Isn’t it adorable?!? But then so is my hubby Of course, I had to get a pic with the latte but I was afraid of spilling it.
Historic St. Augustine
Okay, I saw this Cinderella Carriage and I chased it around the square until I could get a good shot of it. (Good shot meaning without cars. They were doing construction on the bridge, so I apologize for the background.) I really wanted to ride in it. Wouldn’t that be perfect for a romantic night ride? It was really pretty!
There’s an old fort downtown historic St. Augustine, so we went and saw that. It was pretty neat to walk around the outside. I’m standing in the moat area.
The sailboats on the coast while standing at the fort. 
On our last day, we went to the Lighthouse in St. Augustine. We climbed all the way to the top! 219 stairs! There was a lot of neat history there and a nice place to tour.
The stairwell….
Back to downtown St. Augustine, this was in a Courtyard. Isn’t it gorgeous? There were huge fish in the water.
Also in the Courtyard was this piece by Frederick Hart. It caught my eye and I couldn’t leave until I got a picture of it.
Lastly, the Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church was beautiful. I could see the dome around the city and needed to see it up close.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of St. Augustine!

Your image of the church is fantastic, and the one up the stairs at the lighthouse, too. Now I want to go to St. Augustine!

Thank you all! We had a great time! The heart on the latte was one of my favorite things.
It takes little to please me.

What a wonderful trip you had! I love all the photos that you took so we could all have a mini tour. I went to St. Augustine when I graduated from high school…my, that’s been a long time ago. This post brought back a lot of memories.
