St Augustine: 11-17-07

Kelton and Daddy went on top of the fort to see the cannon get shot off by men dressed as Spanish Soilders of the time, Kelton called them pirates.

Coming out of the fort onto the draw bridge while Daddy went with Grandpa to quickly purchase a small cannon for the boys. Just waitin'.....

Chase was trying to sleep, but got woken up by sitting in the sun here...oh well. The boys on the second draw bridge into the fort. This was the 10th built in the same spot, but in the 1500's, took over 20 yrs to build and it was built from the shells, sand and concerte. It was so spongey that cannon's would bounce off it's walls. This was pretty cool.

Mommy and Marie on the streets of St. Augustine watching the lighting ceremony and just talking, what they do best! We sure miss you!

The "love tree", legend says that you kiss under it, and your love will last forever, there was a palm tree in the middle of an oak tree. One tour guide even "gaurenteed" the love would last, we thought that was funny. Interesting though- this oak just grew right around the palm.
