St Augustine, Florida

Sunrise on the Atlantic ocean is amazing!

The sand is filled with millions of small seashells that have been crushed into a fine dust.

This is the beach view from our hotel.

The Castillo de San Marcos, built 1672-1695, served primarily as an outpost of the Spanish Empire, guarding St. Augustine, the first permanent European settlement in the continental United States

The girls in the hotel lobby. They had fun reading and playing games at the game table. Stacey enjoyed chewing on the pawns while Valerie played checkers with us.
