Saint Augustine
Sus joined Jenny and a bus load of students for a history field trip to Saint Augustine. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time visiting some of the historic sites and museums.

A trip to Saint Augustine is not complete without a visit to Castillo de San Marcos. We even saw a cannon-firing demonstration. (If you like forts, we also recommend a short drive south to Fort Matanzas, which also protected Saint Augustine.) In this photo are Klare, … Continue reading Saint Augustine

Sus had been here before when she was a student at ASU. Pinnacle Peak Patio … Continue reading Mike and Sus in Arizona
Jenny Makes Second Campus Visit
Yes, our youngest is checking out colleges. Last year, we visited Flagler College. Today, we visited University of Florida. We will be going to visit Florida State in about six weeks. I took this photo of Jenny in The Swamp (UF’s stadium) with my little camera on my phone. After the tour, we met Josh and Ben who was visiting from Tallahassee. They took us to a very unique pizza place, Satchel’s. If you go to the restaurant’s web site, you will see the old VW van out front. Two tables are set up inside the van for dining.
