the old city













we went up to st augustine last sunday and had a blast.we toured the castillo de san marcos first and watched a cannonball launch. then we headed to the old jail which the kids really enjoyed...they actually got locked up in a cell..HA! the fountain of youth was next on our list and we tried some water from the spring but i have to tell you i don't feel younger...! maybe it takes a few weeks? we ended our day walking down st. george st. the main tourist shopping area.we didn't get to everything so i guess we need to plan a second excursion!

I really recommend a visit here if your headed to the sunshine state.it's very affordable and most attractions offer free admission for kids under 6. best of all its a history lesson for a week.forget those books and live it.you'll be amazed!
