Weekend Getaway!

This weekend we traveled to St. Augustine to stay for the weekend. We knew it was going to be too cold to go to the beach, but we were excited to just get out of town for the weekend. The Pearsons came with us, but Stephen had to go to Jax for the weekend to visit his father so it was a girls' weekend, plus Jacob!

On Friday we arrived around 5:30 and headed straight to one of our favorite restaurants, South Beach Grille. We love this restaurant and it was still light out enough for the girls to see the ocean from our table. On Saturday we headed to the outlets to do some shopping and then went out to the beach so the girls could play in the sand. They had an absolute blast and the weather was great! After naps we headed to another one of our favorite restaurants, Creekside. The girls enjoyed eating at the restaurant and watching 2 raccoons right outside the window by our table! That night we decided to take a carriage ride throughout St. Augustine. Believe it or not, we've never taken the girls on a carriage ride in St. Augustine. We brought our blankets and enjoyed looking at the lights and hearing the history.






Sunday we headed into St. Augustine again for lunch at the Florida Cracker Cafe and visited the Oldest Schoolhouse. The girls liked the little tour and received a diploma at the end. No trip to St. George Street is complete without a trip to Kilwins. Even in the cold weather the girls loved their ice cream and we got Mady's two teachers chocolate, carmel covered apples. I thought it was a cute gift since they're apples for the teachers. Everyone knows when you're a teacher you always get apple-themed gifts! At least this was edible and from Kilwins!



We headed back to the condo around 3 and packed the rest of our stuff. We had a great weekend, the girls were on their absolute best behavior and we finally got out of Oviedo!
