St. Augustine or Bust!

Our annual trip to St. Augustine, FL to Sam's folks went well. We successfully drove through the night, leaving MD at 6pm and arriving at their house at 9:30am the next day. The boys did well - more or less. Nathan starting vomiting about 5hrs into the drive and continued to until we got there and Nicholas required a stop to be held every 1 1/2 hrs. But truly it did go well. The drive home was even better with only 3 stops.

While there we did the Orland0 thing - Walt Disney Magic Kingdom (all of us) and SeaWorld (Carol, myself, Ben and Nathan only) The boys didn't enjoy the beach as much as we thought they would. All but Nicholas were scared of the water. While Ben did love the 'biggest sandbox ever' the pool back at the complex was a bigger hit.

Nicholas' first time in the ocean:

Disney World was so crazy that I didn't even take a picture till we were leaving. Nicholas really did well with the chaos and heat (it was so hot) but finally gave up on the tram ride back to our van. Luckily he had Pluto to watch over him.

He finally woke up on the drive home and realized he had Pluto to watch over him:



The week ended with a night out in St. Augustine with Gramps (sadly Mammy had to work). Nathan lived it up with an ice cream at our favorite spot. He REALLY enjoyed his ice cream. People were stopping to watch him and I even saw somebody take a picture with their camera phone.
