Date night!!!!

Tonight the husband and I decided to play tourist, and take pictures as we walked in St. Augustine. It was a gorgeous night....the weather was very mild and there were hundreds of people out. We couldn't find a parking spot anywhere! We finally came upon one on a side street, fed the meter and were off.

The picture of me on the little bridge is in the middle of a courtyard surrounded by one big building. They pipe in classical music and many weddings and photo shoots are performed there. It is just gorgeous and so relaxing. If I were rich, I'd have something like that built in my home so that I could sit and have my morning coffee....

We went to some shops, browsing and enjoying the sights. We then decided to go to dinner at a restaurant that we both like. It is a cozy little place that has indoor or outdoor seating. It is still a bit nippy to eat out in the evening, so we opted for the dark tavern style dining room. There was big band music playing and the smell of the food was mouth watering! We both had New England clam chowder and shrimp. It was quite good! Afterward, we decided to walk it off, and went for a stroll along the water. We walked down the docks and looked at all the different boats that were in their slips. I tell ya, there was quite a mix. From inflatable boats with little motors, to multi-million dollar yachts. Boats from Jacksonville, South Carolina and Rhode Island. It seems the farther north they came from, the bigger they got! You could hear music coming from some of them, and  you could see inside them as well. All I can say is, wow. They really do look like houses on the water.

After our marine tour we went back downtown and strolled along St. George street, stopping at our favorite candy/icecream shop. I tell you, you can smell that place a half mile before you get there! They were making fresh waffle cones....oh boy did those smell wonderful! We got a turtle sundae, and let me just say....delicious. We decided that was enough for the evening and walked back to the car and had a nice drive home, taking the back roads. We really needed a night alone....

Other than that....not much has been going on today. I gave Betsy a permanant hair color today and although she didn't like it when she first blew it dry, she has decided that she actually does think it looks good....and it does. It's a lot more red than the first color....and it really brightens her face and brings out her gorgeous blue eyes. I had to laugh when she said the color looked nothing like what was on the box....haven't we all been through that?

Wee one is spending the night at a friend's house and won't be home till tomorrow afternoon. I forgot I have to bake Valentine cookies for her class on Monday, so guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?

Man, all that walking has made me tired! I'm off to bed....night all!
