perfect day. perfect company. perfect food.

lee and her son, doug and i ran away to st. augustine and parts north today.  we figured it would be less crowded than tomorrow.  kidlet was up also up north but further than we were.  she was trying on bride's maid dresses.  another story.

and so, in no particular order, fort matanzas.  i think i'd need more closet space.

they told us a head of time to plug our ears.  since i couldn't hold down the shutter and hold my ears at the time time . . .   problem was, the kaboom was so loud, i jumped and missed the shot anyway.

love a man in uniform.

then we went further north up to st. augustine to eat at the conch hut.  you have to try it if you're in the area.  yeah, who doesn't want to eat fresh fish overlooking a marina on a drop dead gorgeous day?

it was only one beer.  the conch was not holding me up.

but it was fun with these two characters.  check out the double fisted drinker.

and then we finally headed home.  life is rough.

and the sightseeing was pretty good too.  this guy and his friends were following us.

count them.  one.  two. three. four.

this is lee and i.  brave souls.

it was a wonderful day.  wonderful friends.  wonderful food.  oh yeah, i forgot the food.  there were some shrimp tacos, some peel and eat shrimp and some fried oysters.  slurp.
