We took a long weekend from friday to monday to enjoy what Historic St. Augustine had to offer.  One of the highlights of the trip was the fort Castillo de San Marcos.  The timing was perfect… as they got ready to shoot off the cannon’s everyone left and went upstairs.. making it a prime opportunity for a photo shoot.

I quickly found out that St. Augustine does not operate on the “good ‘ole boy” system.  On the beaches of Cape San Blas and Mexico Beach its perfectly safe to leave your flip-flops at the end of the boardwalk without any worry that someone would steal them.  This is not the case at Anastasia State Park!  We walked down the long boardwalk where I kicked off my shoes…. not even thinking that someone would actually want somebody elses stinky flip-flops.  I WAS WRONG! After 5 min or so I got a weird feeling in my gut and went back to check on them… and yup, you guessed it… they were gone!

Lesson learned.  You just can’t trust anybody!

This past 4th of July weekend Jessica and I took Ross on his first of many trips to the battleship. Here’s a sneek peek at our trip: U.S.S. Alabama Trip Photos
