April 2013 Spring Break in St. Augustine, Florida

I (Sheri, the Mama of this family) had not been to St. Augustine, Florida (basically my 2nd home because I spent most of my family vacations there with my family when I was growing up) in 8 years!  It was time for me to go back and take my hubby and kids with me.

We drove 13 hours from Cincinnati, Ohio...but broke it up into 2 days for William's benefit.  The drive was
beautiful!  Especially through Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina....lots of rolling hills, mountains, dogwoods blooming, and spring leaves on trees.

So, here is evidence of our WONDERFUL trip....

Hunkered down in the car...kids hooked up to their electronic devices! :)

In St. Augustine next to the intercoastal waterway, getting ready to see the Fort and go

The pool was heated and the kids swam a ton...but they really enjoyed the hot tub after boogie boarding
in the cold ocean... :)

Everyone looks so grown up, but William took me by surprise! Where'd all your blond babies go???

I agree with Lisa, I can't believe how grown up everyone looks. It is fun to see so many posts. What a fun vacation!
