She has been staying with us for the last few weeks while she does her physical therapy rotation here in Tupelo. It's been a delight to have her! I made the Portillo's chocolate cake to celebrate this evening!
Also bonus grandson Sam turned 16 yesterday.
Watch out...he'll be driving in a few days!
We will celebrate his birthday this weekend.
Back to our trip.
After breakfast at the hotel, we took the Red Train tour of St. Augustine.
It was a great tour! St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States. It is full of interesting old houses and churches.
In fact, the oldest house in the United States is here.
We drove past the entrance to the Fountain of Youth, but didn't make a stop.
Drove past this beautiful old oak tree, thought to be over 600 years old. They call it the Old Senator.
We took a shuttle to the St. Augustine Lighthouse.
We stopped for lunch at Mojo's for a little BBQ for lunch.
Good choice!
After lunch, we walked down St. George Street which is the main old street.
Then walked over to the fort.
Bad weather was coming in so we got out of town before it hit. We drove to Lake City, FL and checked into the Country Inn and Suites. A storm did come through and the hotel lost power a couple of times. It passed through quickly though and we were able to drive the short distance to a Steak 'n Shake for dinner.
