Paul, Puja & Janet at Smith College.
Mom seems to enjoy campfires. Even though we didn't bring campfire stuff with us, when she sees an opportunity, she gathers up dry wood and starts one.
The Muscovy Duck (mules) were around our campground, so Mom decided to have some fun feeding them.
Mom just added the stickers for Alabama and Missisippi and is pretty tickled to be moving again.
Liz Willis, performing "One." Beautiful.
It rained all night and was much colder when we got up today - but that didn't discourage Mom from doing some beach combing (I think she's holding up a shell, not sure though)
This was used as a school from 1912 to 1936 for grades 1 through 8.
This was just down the shallow hill about 30 feet from the RV site.
We met Beverly while waiting for the Gorrie Museum to open. She wrote these two books and is the historian for the county.
When we stopped for lunch, we found out that Terns are very good at in flight refueling!
When we get to a nich beach, I take off my shoes and check out the water. Mom tries building sand castles.
The sand was so white, I had trouble seeing with all the glare, so tried the hat so see if it would help (it did a little)
Vince went out of his way to make sure Mom was able to enjoy her trolley ride through St. Augustine.
The Spanish put these earthen jugs under the roof downspouts to capture rain. They were partially buried to help keep the water cool.
Mom & I both had a small glass of mineral water from the spring just for fun.
Somebody left off some Peafowl at the center and they've done very well there. There are machines that dispense food (for a quarter) so you can feed the birds
This is along the Matanzas river
Mom was actually quite good at some of the pioneer games of skill. This one is called Jacob' Ladder.
A lot of general stores had a statue of an indian out front during the 1800's. Mom is trying to look just like the Indian here, she's not upsted - just miming.
This device twists as you move the horizontal handle up and down. The point, spinning on the wood base, created heat which could catch dry grass on fire.
The fort walls were originally covered with white plaster. Only small amounts are still left, visible in the background.
Several of the casemates in the fort have been converted to Museum rooms, including this one.
I decided to walk over to the beach tonight, just for fun. Mom decided to join me even though it was pretty late for her.
Ruth is just turning 80 and has adopted a motto, "80 in 08". Mom just turned 80 last June, so they both hit it off real well.
