Doing Our Own Thing

When we went on this trip to St. Augustine, Florida with some of our family it was actually our 32nd wedding anniversary.
We usually go off by ourselves on a trip for our anniversary but this vacation was right on our special day.

So that is why I am starting out with these pictures of us.

My "Sweet honey" is so good to me.
He has taught me a lot in the last 32 years.
His father passed away when "Sweet honey" was only 10 years old and you would think that he would not know how to be a good father and husband since he didn't have an example in his life.

But he is the best husband, father, & grandfather. He is a hard worker and has always been my provider and protector. My Sister in law & I often talk about how blessed we are with these 2 brothers. They are good Godly men.
Happy Anniversary Sweet Honey!
(It was actually on Sept. 1)

Here we are doing our own thing.
I am cutting out a pattern. I will tell you more about that later.
This is my kind of vacation. I love doing whatever you want to.

Here is Mom helping "Trouble" with college homework!
I am not sure that homework is what "Trouble" wanted to do.
But you gotta do what you gotta do, right?


Isn't Mom beautiful?

Speaking of beautiful........."Angel" is doing crafts.

Here Mom is doing her favorite thing....reading!

"Trouble" is multitasking.

This man has got it made!

There were 2 citrus trees in the back yard of the house we stayed in.

One was a lemon tree and one was mandarin oranges.

The trees were small but full.

Me & Mom

They are checking out the beautiful fish pond at this restaurant.

Trouble & Angel

On one of our tours the tour guide told us that Spanish moss was not really Spanish moss.

He told us what its real name was but I can't remember. But I do remember that he told us that the moss has chiggers in it. He told us a story of how someone had a mattress filled with Spanish moss and they were covered with chigger bites. I looked that up when I got home and read that it was a myth. So who knows?

When we weren't on tours or eating out we were back at the house doing our own thing.

This is a game that we played. It was so much fun. I had never heard of it.

As you can tell "Angel" won this time!!!

We had a lot of fun.

St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest city in the United States. You can visit museums, the oldest school house, Flagler College which was the Ponce de leon Hotel. You can see the beautiful brick streets that lead to many historical churches and much more. There is so much history here. It really is an amazing place.
This is the bay right inside the city. It was just beautiful. It was so much fun and great to spend time with family. Mom read books, Trouble did homework and tests, Angel also worked on school work and did crafts. Sweet honey rested and I worked on a sewing project. My favorite thing was that we all did our our own thing. It was a fun and relaxing trip.
