Easter Weekend in St. Augustine

Korey and Ellen in front of the huge cross at Mission of Nombre De Dios.


Ellen and Tammi in front of the Old City Gates that lead into St. George Street.


Entering Castillo de San Marcos (construction of the fortress began in 1672)

Ellen sitting on one of the many cannons at Castillo de San Marcos (we got yelled at for doing this although there were no signs saying we couldn't)

The cannons being fired at Castillo de San Marcos.

Some tourists were dressed up as pirates and everyone wanted pictures taken with them. Ellen stole the little girl's hat.

This was taken by the St. Augustine lighthouse. We weren't allowed to take Ellen up the stairs in the lighthouse.

We attended church for Easter at Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine. It is the oldest Catholic church in the United States--built in 1793.

I know I'm a bit behind but had some unforeseen circumstances arise. Easter weekend, we went to St. Augustine, FL. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States, founded in 1565. The weather was beautiful (about 70 degrees) and we had a great time. Korey had a 4 day weekend and I had a 3 day weekend so we figured it was time for a road trip. St. Augustine is 300 miles north of where we live. Ellen was so good. She slept almost all the way there and almost all the way home (a 5 hour drive each way).
