St. Augustine lighthouse. $9 each to climb to the top and we were like, HA, NO.



This is how I can best describe old Florida - moss-covered, winding-limbed, gigantic oak trees that are perfect for climbing. Add a beach in the background and a crappy 1970's style one story Florida house with a pale pink rock lawn instead of grass and you're set.







LOL TOP MODEL POSE??



Lol my daaaad. <3







These are all from Anastasia State Park, one of the most gorgeous beaches I've ever seen.













The finer-grained sand was being blown by the wind, making it look like the desert does I guess! Kinda cool that I could actually capture it in a picture, I didn't think I would.



Cold front moving in. And the lighthouse waaaay tiny and towards the right.



AND THEN I FLIPPED OUT. CASTILLO DEL SAN MARCOS. ESTED IN 1672 WITH COCQUINA SHELLS. AWESOME.



The moat! And my dad, ha.

















This was originally used as a storage for guns/gunpowder, but because of the humidity it was too damp. They then turned this tiny room into a prison. Bones were dug out 100 years later.



Tiny way in!



The first church!















We ate at this amaaaazing Mexican restaurant that ended the day off perfectly. Love this town, a lot. EVERYONE COME VISIT ME SO I CAN TAKE YOU HERE.

I was watching the weather this morning (AT 4AM) and there was a weather report that was like, DEAR SWEET JESUS IT'S GOING TO BE SO COLD TONIGHT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. IF YOU DON'T WEAR GLOVES AND A HAT YOU WILL GET FROSTBITE. OR HYPOTHERMIA. OR DIE. THE WIND CHILL IS GOING TO MAKE IT INTO THE 20'S, OKAY, THIS IS FLORIDA, YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THIS SHIT. And I was just like, oh God. DO YOU THINK IT COULD SNOW?? I think it could snow. The unfortunate thing is that I have to get up tomorrow morning (AT 4AM AGAIN) and go to work and ughhh, I hear that getting out from under the covers when it's that cold is super unfun. I'm not looking forward to it. :( (BUT SNOW WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.)

Cool pictures. Looks like a Florida version of a fort.

You may not want show when you realize how hard it is to get to work through that stuff.

Ha, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it was! I heart history so much, oh man.

YEAH, that's what everyone keeps telling me, BUT I'M NOT SURE I BELIEVE IT. :D :D :D
