So lets see, Friday we left St. Petersburg and drove across the state to St. Augustine, one of the oldest cities in the US. We took a tram tour of the city, and saw most of the sights. Of course everything had a separate fee to get in, so we just stayed on the tram around the city. We also managed to find a bakery that sold Starbucks, so we enjoyed a frappacinno on their patio and people watched.  I left my camera in the car so we didn't get any photos of the city.

 

When we got back to our hotel, we took a stroll out to check out the Atlantic Ocean.  It was quite a walk from the beginning of the beach to the water, approx 300 yards.  You can see from these photos that even when you reach the water's edge, it takes more walking to get in water up to your knees.  We put our toes into the Atlantic and it was quite chilly. 

 

That evening we had dinner at a local pizza restaurant.  It appeared to be family owned and run and the waitress was grandma.  Grandma was obviously from the north east and was quite entertaining.  The pizza was pretty good also.  Later that evening we watched a storm over the ocean with lots of lightning.  The storm never made in on land so we didn't get any rain.

 

Saturday we spent the day driving back to Huntsville, a trip of about 530 miles.  We drove thru two brief rain storms that lasted about 10 minutes each.  That evening we met Brian and his family at the Macaroni Grill for dinner.  Mmmm!!!  Spaghetti!!!  LOL
