Here are a few pictures from our wonderful family beach vacation thus far. Now that my shoulders have quit screaming for mercy we’re going to hit Vilano Beach. We had one Chevy Chase vacation moment Saturday when we were caught in a thunderstorm while sitting on the back seat of an open sightseeing train in St. Augustine and we all got soaked to the bone. It was one of those moments you knew you’d laugh about later, but you’ wish you could fast forward to that point.

Couldn’t help but visit your blog again. I was born and raised in Florida, and was lucky enough to first visit Marineland and St. Augustine in the late 60’s with my parents. I absolutely love these areas. Great photos. I know you had a great time visiting. Hope people can visit my blogs on these places for more history and photos. All the best.
