St. Augustine- last official "babymoon"



Ponce de Leon, founded St. Augustine and "discovered" the fountain of youth there in 1513. He was only 4'6". Makes me look like a giant!

The Mission de Los Nombres de Los Dios, where the first catholic mass was held in the US. It was Easter Day (the day Ponce de Leon landed) in 1513. The cross was pretty impressive!

Me (and my huge baby bump) in front of the old city gates. Behind me is St. George's Street, which is a really cool pedestrian mall with lots of shops and restaurants.

Phil in front of the Castillo de San Marcos.

This road has been voted one of the most beautiful streets in the US. It's right outside the Fountain of Youth park.

Phil testing out some of the equipment at the old jail.


This is the shrine to our lady of le leche, the virgin mother of the child. It's to serve as inspiration to mothers and mothers-to-be. I thought the timing of us seeing this was pretty appropriate. No good stories about going into labor right inside the doors or anything...

My handsome husband in front of the bay.
