Vacation Part III- Cruisin' Around

The days we weren't at the beach we ventured out all around St. Augustine. It truly was so nice to be able to wake up when we want, stop by Starbucks everyday, drive around town & just be together doing fun stuff. We stopped by downtown St. Augustine one afternoon- took some pictures, strolled through some old shops, & took pictures of houses I loved (Creepy, I know!)

 

We also went stopped by some "off road hillbilly place", so my husband could fish. It ended up being pretty cool, despite the fact that we had to trek through mud. 

 

Our last stop that we went to was a nice park, I cannot remember the name but it had gorgeous views of the ocean. 

 

Vacation always flies by so fast & I don't want to forget the good, peaceful, alone time that we had over the week. I always cherish time with my husband because I know someday we won't be able to do it much. The good times like this really make me realize what life is all about. 

 

Until next time... I will be dreaming about the beach daily. 

Vacation Part II- Vilano Beach & Anastasia Beach

During our week long vacation (take me back, now!) we my husband fished a lot! In most instances, I would've died from boredom but this time it was very enjoyable. The weather was super chilly, but I loved it! Since it wasn't hot we were actually able to be outside without sweating to death. The beaches were peaceful, with barely any people around. 

We visited Vilano Beach & it was so gorgeous! This beach allows you to drive your car on it, which was nice. The sand at this beach was pure shells, so pretty but oh-so-painful to walk on! It also has huge rocks throughout the water & it is so beautiful the way the waves crash over them. We also saw some more dolphins which made.my.day! 

We also went to Anastasia Beach, which is where the beach condo is located. There is a boardwalk that goes to this beach from the condo or you can drive on it as well. This beach was a little more crowded then the other places we went to during the week. It was still super nice and there were tons of birds, shells, & for some strange reason there were a lot of jelly fish & crabs that came on shore.

 

 

 

 

 

And I forgot to mention, K and I bought our dream New England cape style mansion on the beach while we were there. Ha! In our wildest dreams, right !? ;) 

Vacation Part I- Matanzas Inlet

Last week my husband & I went on vacation. We stayed at a family beach condo in St. Augustine, Florida. We had not been on a vacation since we got married almost five years ago (go ahead & pick your jaw up off the floor), so this was much needed for us. I loved being able to wake up with him & spend all day, every day with him for 7 days straight. 

The weather was pretty chilly but that didn't stop us from venturing out to different places. On our first few days we went to Matanzas Inlet. My husband wanted to fish, so this place was perfect. It was calm & there wasn't a soul in sight, so it was just the two of us.. & a mama dolphin and her baby. 

While K fished, I lounged in a beach chair & snapped a ton of pictures. 

We had such a fun, peaceful time here. And my husband was super excited because he got one fish! We ended up throwing it back in the water & didn't catch another after that. I told him that the fish went back into the water warning all his friends about the human. 

Stay tuned tomorrow for more beautiful pictures...
