Historic St. Augustine!! And the winners are...


Isn't this handsome male stunning???
I had never heard of a white peacock!
We couldn't get enough of him!!
He is helping me annouce that two of you, my
lovely bloggy friends, guessed correctly where BBB
(Becky behind bars) was!!
Castillo De San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida!!
Congratulations Tami and Lady Katherine!!
Both Tami and Lady Katherine will be sent
a special surprise!! Please email your
addresses to holidayinthesun_1@yahoo.com
and I will get them out next week!!

Here is one of his cousins on the roof of a small
shed like building.

Maddy and Kristina at the entrance
to the Fountain of Youth
More on that in St. Augustine the sequel!


This is one of the neat old doors at the fort
Very cool!!


Here is a shot inside the fort. This fort was never
destroyed in battle!!


These are cannon replicas. The history that goes
along with this fort is so interesting. Google it
and enjoy the read!!


The entrance...only one way in and out!
There is a moat perimeter, but it remained mostly
dry.

My niece Kristina doing her time


Maddy desperately wanting her freedom!!


Here is that fetching fellow again at the
Fountain of Youth .
I had never seen a peacock in a tree either!!
Showing off for the girls!!


Let it be said that St. Augustine is also home to
a rather delightful blogger named Mrs. Magpie!
Maybe we'll get to visit her next time we're there.
I hear she is just as wonderful in person!!

PLEASE visit her blog if you haven't!!

She truly is charming, fun and so creative!!
St. Augustine part 2 coming soon!!

Blessings and joy,
Becky
