Weekend Trip to St. Augustine!

So here are some of the pictures from our trip to St. Augustine, FL. Saint Augustine is the oldest established city in the U.S. Jared and I went there last year on his field trip, but we figured this was a good place to take the family for our first EVER family vacation. Yes, we have gone with Logan to Indiana and Minnesota, but it's not quite the same when you don't have 10 extra people at all times ready and willing to hold Logan. It was quite the experience as we had a lot of fun, but it was also pretty tiring. Here are the pictures from our first day!!

Logan enjoying the ride so far.

Jared chillin...

Jared and Logie sharing a backseat moment together. Jared did very well sharing his backseat with Logan. Always before on road trips, Jared got the whole backseat to himself!

Jared giving his brother a kiss.

Us getting ready to go visit Castillo de San Marcos. Awesome place! http://www.nps.gov/casa/index.htm

The view from the one side of the Fort.

Cannon!

The entrance through the drawbridge.

The French Soldiers getting ready in the courtyard to fire off the cannon.

The soldiers made their way up to the top of the wall to fire the cannon. Jared and Janelle were up there to see the demonstration. Logan and I were outside of the fort trying to keep him from crying. At this point, we figured Logan wouldn't enjoy the big boom!

This is what Logan was doing outside with me! He just wanted to crawl everywhere. Apparently, he didn't enjoy being cooped up in the car for 4 hours that day as well as being held in the stroller right after we made it to St. Augustine.

View of the lighthouse across the river.

Logan was very happy to finally check into our room around 4:30 so that he could do some crawling.

He was also trying to figure out the TV remote.

Did I say Logan was happy to get out of the car??

He couldn't figure out what to check out next.

For dinner, we found this restaurant called Crackers BBQ.

It was a really cool place...it had a bunch of pictures of hunters/fisherman with their prized possessions. It also had some interesting animal skins on the walls.

I think Logan was trying to tell us he was hungry.

Logan is always good at restaurants until we get OUR food!

This was before I ate my 12 oz ribeye steak.

And after dinner, we attempted to put Logan to bed.

Logan was not interested in this part of our plan!

In fact, he took a 30 minute nap and then proceeded to stay up until 11pm!! Notice my cell phone in all of these pictures...he LOVES cell phones and would not put it down the entire night!
