getaway town

our getaway town is

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL
we spent our anniversary weekend here recently

the oldest catholic church in america sits in town center,

lovely to walk with old bells ringing

the earliest history of florida and america surround you

the whole pirate and treasure theme are real here

we enjoy "old towne"

a favorite sidewalk cafe is CELLAR 6

white sangria, gourmet tapas style menu,

view of aviles st with its trippy hippie college kids

park pirates and horse and carriage

make for excellent people watching

being in the restuarant creation business

we love handsome, well designed places

this place is gorgeous inside too with live music at night

strolling old town is just relaxing

this doorstep has photo opt all over it !

love the architectural and unexpected

i love these blues

and the old gardens growing with reckless abandon

what is your getaway town ??

my florida life

hi all :))

has it really been 15 days since i last posted ?

been beachy & busy since arriving home

as much as i love the rugged beauty and inspiring contrasts

of Iceland

i love coming home to flip flop wearing weather

beach days

and the casual ease of

my florida life
celebrated my daughters 30th birthday beachside

she wasnt thrilled about this milestone day

so we did shots as we ck'd the beach shops
it helped :))

had us some friki tiki time

and i found something for my birthday wish list :))
