St. Augustine

The girls and I took a road trip last weekend to St. Augustine with my wonderful mother-in-law. I can't believe she wanted to brave an entire weekend with my girls, but she did it! I have always wanted to go there, but especially during the holidays since I have heard how beautiful it is. And it truly is! I was not disappointed in the least bit. The whole city is decorated in lights and Christmas decor.  We met up with one of my best friends, Jaimie and her friend, Erin for lunch and hot cocoa. The girls adored seeing them. Later that evening, we took them to Winter Wonderland where they saw Santa, played in a little elf village and we all froze;) Seriously, the weather was crazy. It was as windy as Oklahoma (the fake snow wouldn't even blow away because it was all stuck in a tree from the wind), and icy cold (hehe I say icy and really it was probably 60 degrees out). I did giggle to see the Floridians dressed like they lived in the arctic with snow hats, heavy coats and scarves. I looked at my kids in their little fleeces and they didn't seem to mind the temperatures. But apparently my old bones can't handle the chill in the air because I wanted to steal every winter coat I saw that night. All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Add it to the list of memories I am making with my girls!

Gorgeous Casa Monica (Tom a romantic weekend getaway here would be FAB!)
