Spring Break (Part Two)

The third day of Spring Break Mom and I headed out to Manatee Springs State Park in the morning, then the plan was to meet Maria and the kids after lunch and head out to St. Augustine. We followed the directions to the park and it was strange how a main road ended in the park and a few yards into driving (after we paid our admission) we saw this standing on the side of the road.

It is strange to me how deer are not afraid of anyone in the parks because they are so accustomed to it, but out here in good ole Indiana they run as soon as they see you.

Manatee Springs was really cool for two reasons; first, this was my first time to actually see a spring and second, it was a beautiful day and we needed a few hours to kill.

Definitely pretty cool and glad we saw it, but it yes this was it!

Me looking good with that bruise on my arm. I got it from falling down the stairs at the hotel...I wonder who I get my clumbsiness from?!?

After Manatee Springs, we said good bye to Trenton (don't you love the signs) and were on our was to St. Augustine--the oldest city in the US.

We saw these longhorns along the way. We definitely turned around to take this picture and I'm glad mom didn't get too close because those horns look like they could hurt!

We have ARRIVED! Once we checked in, Maria and the kids went to the pool and Mom and I went and bought trolley passes. Afterwards, we went to the park, ate dinner, and went to bed ready to get up early to explore St. Augustine. Check back soon for those pics and stories!
