I was so excited to wake up Thursday because I knew we were going to St. Augustine. I LOVE St. Augustine. The people, the history, the water, the sea shells...I just love all of it! It's a place that I have many good memories with my family and friends growing up, so I was super happy that we had an opportunity to go.
Thankfully Louie was still happy staying at Gram's house so we left him there and headed toward the coast! The weather was BEAUTIFUL and the perfect temperature, too. We were so lucky!
Could the sky be any bluer? Not sure!
We grabbed lunch at The Columbia. It's a place that both Stephen and I love. It's only located in Florida though so we don't get much of a chance to dine there when we are in Indiana. Their Cuban and Spanish food is amazing!
That's the Original 1905 Salad...oh my yum!
After lunch we enjoyed walking around downtown and taking pictures of almost anything and everything. We went in and out of old shops and smelled delicious smells as we passed Pizzally's and Kilwin's Chocolate. Too bad our bellies were full from The Columbia!
I have a thing for hats...don't judge.
This is a view I can appreciate. Sailboats on the intercoastal...so right!
True Love <3
No trip to St. Augustine is complete without a stop for Gelatto. I chose Fruits of the Forest and Green Apple while Stephen choose Blueberry and Lemon. All flavors were delicious-as always!
We had to keep an eye on our time in St. Augustine because I had plans that evening with my cousin Mandi who is a blushing bride to be in April 2012. We headed out to David's Bridal with her MOH, Mom and our Grandma to find the perfect bridesmaid dress. Let me tell you...that is no easy task folks!
Heather is Mandi's Maid of Honor while I am her Matron of Honor...can I just say that Matron of Honor makes me sound like I should be old and have gray hair? It's just the way my mind works I guess...
Anyways, we tried on many, many dresses:
some were no's...
some were so-so's...
others were okay...
but this one was a YES!
After we decided this was the one Mandi was on the phone with her other bridesmaids and they all liked it too. Whew! Looks like we have all agreed on the dress for her April 2013 wedding! :)
Trying on all those dresses worked up an appetite for all of us!
We had a lovely dinner at Buca and talked more about the wedding and this exciting time in Mandi's life. It was a great night!
Me, Mandi (cousin-bride), Heather
Check back tomorrow for the last installment of the Vacation Recap series! :)
