St. Augustine, FL

Welcome to the Oldest City in the US, St. Augustine, FL. Actually Pensacola, FL is the oldest city but St. Augustine was the 1st developed city. We road the trolley in hopes to see everything in a day- which in my opinion was plenty.


Oldest Store


Here is where people could purchase groceries, medicines, clothing, tools, and the latest invention!


Lillicans staying warm by the furnace!


The free candy was the highlight of my day! Yum


This was the modern vacuum of the early 1900's.


Kitchen pantry- only if all our goods could fit in such a small space

County Jail


Back then the sheriff and his family lived on the back side of the jail. Crazy!!! How did they ever SLEEP! -With 1, possibly 2 eyes open!

Supposedly the jail is one of the most haunted places in the US. You won't find me buying a ticket after sundown! I was getting nervous when Sam went back in to retrieve our stroller, which took longer than expected. Of course Lilly and I did NOT run back in but yelled at him to come out from outside. Luckily he was in one piece when he came out.

The Gallows


Yikes!

Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse


It was a leaning tower of cheesa! The thick chain looked like it was assisting to keep it upright.
"Little pig, little pig let me in."
"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin."

The Fort


The fort was used in the many different wars over the years.




"Ready, set, GO!"
Lillicakes excited to stretch her legs. "GO! GO!" she says. She even drops her arm like it's a race. bhahahaha Silly girl.
