Ordinary Life

In July, we met up with my good childhood friend Jamie,  in St. Augustine.  Jamie and I have been friends since we were in the 6th grade. Over the years we've drifted in and out of contact as life drifted us in various directions. Over the past year, we have been able to reconnect and introduce our children to one another. In a neat twist of events, her Liam and my Rye have become friends, too.  So I guess you could say it was a double play date :) We rode the Ripley's Red Trains and the carousel in  Davenport Park   (Say, do you know the difference between a carousel and a merry-go-round? We do.) And we rode out the rain in the nearby Dunkin Donuts. It was a really great day.  If you ever have an occasion to tour St. Augustine, take it. Learn stuff. It is a fascinating old city. I plan to go again sometime and pay closer attention to the details. And to take pictures. Again. Because the entire roll of our day together was lost to a corrupt SD card. (...

Sometimes we like to hang out in Saint Marys . While we're there, we like to eat chocolate chip pancakes the size of our head.  (Oh, and have some of the pita...it's fresh) Chocolate Chip Pancake pairs well with a chocolate milk, served chilled.  We walk across to the park to watch boats and use up some of that pancake fuel.  Shaky bridges aren't fun... ever.  Would you DRIVE over a bridge built like this?  Asserted Independence  Take a good look at this smile because when we try to leave in 15 minutes, there will be no traces whatsoever.
