St Augustine, Florida

We are on the road for Buck's work this week.  He surprised me with a couple of days of vacation before he has to be in Miami for work.  We drove to St. Augustine yesterday and pretty much went directly to bed when we got here.  Today we moved to a different hotel (on the beach) 
These are called pancake puppies at Denny's
pretty good!! 
Buck enjoyed his grits and eggs.
 
We did a little shopping at the outlet malls then went sightseeing.  All from the comfort of our truck, of course, wouldn't want to actually STOP and look around.

This is the beach outside our hotel.  The sand is quite hard. 
Buck says they use to race cars in Daytona on the beaches!!! 
Who knew?? 
Trust me ~ this is a historic spot in St. Augustine
(It's a fort)

This is the beach near the public pier.  We walked out to the end
AND witnessed a man pulling in a hammerhead shark!!! 
We also spotted some dolphins.  It was a good day! 
We walked out on the beach and Buck even got his feet wet.  
We are having a good trip ~ not looking forward to work on Tuesday.

We had lunch at the Kingfish Grill
I had steak, Buck has shrimp (and alligator bites)
Not sure if I was praying I wouldn't have to eat one
or just enjoying the view.
 
For the record: I did eat one gator bite
taste like chicken!

Good night sweet readers
