[Grace and Mickey]

Hi friends, So sorry I have not posted more on my TR, been a little busy with work and stuff, alsobeen putting pictures in my photobucket account and working on editing my Photpass pictues, we has 313 photopass pictues and now have over 500 with borders and edits

Monday Sept 7th St Augustine, the beach, Old Town and a little problem

We wake up around 6:30 a.m. and Corri and I decide we take a walk on the beach to take some pictures of the sunrise.
The motel in just across the rode for the beach/ ocean.
We try to take some pictues but the day is a little cloudy, but we did get some nice pictures.
We return to our room and Landen has woken up and we decide to go down to the lobby for the FREE breakfast, nothing special but it was FREE.
After breakfast we get ready to go the beach
We head to beach it about 9;00 a.m. and we are the only one on the beach. We spread our blanket in and area we think is good. and intoduce
Landen toocean water, he's not to sure he like it and keeps runing from the tides, would rather plan with his cars an monster trucks in the sand. After a while we decide to take a walk to collect some seashells, there is a big beach house about a 1/4 of the mile down the shore with big rocks around it and we head that way, it fun walking along the beach and we find lot of pretty shells and I am surprise how strong the tides are ,some come up far on the shore and some could knoke to down, Landen likes finding the holes in the sand where people have place their beach umbrealla and covering them up with sand.
We return to our beach blanket and it is WET guess we didn't pick a good spot though I thought it was far enough from the tides, Our cameras and cell phone where in a plastic bag but the bag was not sealed completlely shut, and is wet to
,WE decide to had back to motel and Landen and Corri go swimmining in the pool there, We have lunch with the food we got at Walmart last night and decide to Go the Outlets and look for the Disney Store that I heard about here on the DIS. O.K. need to stop now as i am babysitting Landen and he wants Gramma to play.
Will try to post some pictures later.

Good afternoon Friends
Sorry to be missing in action for so long, things have been a little crazy around here. Dave is feeling a little better, and going back to see the Dr, on Thursday, I'm watching
Landen this afternoon and he watching Toy Stoy with Poppa, so I'll try to post some now.

LET'S see we left off with Monday afternoon in St Augustine. Fl, Sept 7th

I had wanted to go to Disney outlet store I had read about here on the DIS On our drive into ST Augustine on I-95 we had seen two outlet mall, But I had left the addess of the disney store at home, so we put outlet in GPS and we got one about 10 mintues away We got to parking lot didn't see any sign for a disney store and could see another outlet mall across the highway, Corri put in Disney store ans the GPS said .2 miles so we where at the right one.
It was a nice store, lots of t-shirts, sweatshirts halloween things, toys, But I did not buy anything, And the prices where not bad, But some how I wanted my 1st Disney souviner purchase to be at Walt Disney World, I know silly but that was just my feeling I want to be able to remember where I was when I brought it and the magical feeling you get when you do something at WDW

We decided to drive down the main steet in St Augustine, and it lead us the the OLD town area, we parked and walk in a area of shops, among the old building of St Augustine, we saw the Oldest wooden schoolhouse, Oldest drugstore A Falger college, a mission and other old histical buildings.
But during this time we noticed that my camera was working propetly, remember the wet blanket earlier in the day. We had return to our room after being at the beach, Coori had checked the cammera and the cell phone that was in the bag, her camera would not turn on . mime screen did light up, and the cell phone was fine. Corri had brought her good camera , that is a little big and goes through batteries like water, so we thought we be fine.
But when I started
taking pictures in Old Town the pictures on the screen where on 1/2 there and not clear , like something was eating away at them I did try to take some but finally I cou ld not see any picture on the screen. Corri did take some with her camera, but she would have to change batteries after every 10 pictures or so.

We Got ICE CREAMon our family vacations it has aways been a tradtion to havea special ice treat some time during the trip David always decide when and where, so during our walking tour of old Town, he see a little ice creme shop. and decides it time, we get two bowl to share, I let David pick our because I usually like what he picks better then What I have picked and he switchs with me, it kind of a little family joke between us, Corri had Landen get a bowl to share too, but when he get outside Labden wants he OWN, So Of course Poppa has to get him one and it BLUE BUBBLEGUM. and he LOVES it. This is always a special memory of our trips, we always remember where we got our ice cream on each trip

We did see the musket drill at the old fort. it was intertersting, we where going to tour the fort but it closed at 5;00 and it was 4;45 when we got there.
There are lots of nice things to do in St. Augustine, but most of the histortical things are expensive and we though it would be hard with Landen, I like history and hope that someday we can go see more of these things again.

Well going to make sure that this post, I had typed it a little early and it said I was logged in and lost all my hard work.

Sorry about the camera Grace !!St Augustine sounds interesting !!

 

[lmillercrew]

I'm glad to hear that your DH is making a full recovery and that he is feeling better!!
I TOTALLY get why you wouldn't want to buy a Disney item until you bought one at Disney first.
I used to LOVE bubblegum ice cream when I was a kid. I would save the gum on a napkin and chew it all later. GROSS!! But, how else are you supposed to eat the gum?
Can't wait to hear more and hope you get the chance to get another update in soon.
