"Believe It Or Not" ~ St. Augustine, Fl.

Believe it!

More on our trip!! :)






This place was a lot of fun so I must include a little of it...

Here we are just about to enter...



Once inside, we saw some really amazing things ~ and met some quite unusual folks!

Here are a few of them!


















































This was beautiful!



Revisiting this town brought back a lot of good memories for Charles and me.

We were here with the kids ...when my son was about 12 and the girls 3 and 4 years younger! This was a perfect age for kids to enjoy this town...especially the Old Fort and Old Jail - AND this 'Believe It Or Not' museum! These memories added to our pleasure in seeing it all again!

~~~

Later we exchanged our gifts at our motel before going out for dinner- and had a toast to each other! I made a toast to another 48 years together! :)

Charles gave me this beautiful gold bracelet ...I gave him some things for his new patio project! :) Hey - he loved those strings of lights I gave him...and also the bird feeder! :)



























~~~

We got someone to take a picture of the 2 of us together at the restaurant!



Unfortunately we were disappointed in the restaurant we picked! :( The food was not that great! (hard to know in a place you are unfamiliar with)


Well ~ Charles has promised me dinner at my very favorite restaurant tomorrow night for my birthday!

Red Lobster!!

Yes!!

  1. I love eating at Red Lobster too.

    Your post makes me want to visit St. Augustine again. I'm sure that so much has changed since I was there last. My kids were all pretty young then, probably ten and under.

    You look so short standing next to the tallest man, WOW!

  2. Sandy,

    LOL-I'm short standing next to ANYONE!

    I'm just 5 ft....I use to be a little bit taller! :) Oh well-I wouldn't mind so much being short if I could get my wt to match my ht. a little better! :)

  3. Sadly Junie, It is a part of getting older. You seem to sink into the ground as the years race on. But don't feel bad it happens to all of us.

  4. There's a Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Niagara Falls that we've gone to and I so enjoyed it, it's amazing the stuff in there!! We sat in the tallest man's chair and we looked like babies in it! lol

    Loved seeing all the pictures and that's a great shot of the two of you. I'm so glad you had this trip to celebrate your anniversary:-) xoxo
