This year while visiting St. Augustine I talked Michael into taking the kids to "The Fort." I have only been one other time before, and it was many years ago, but I wanted to be able to take our children...I thought they might enjoy it! We did have fun, because it was just the four of us, however, it was probably not the smartest decision I've ever made :)! It was blazing hot and with a 4 year old and 7 year old the complaints kept coming...also from the 32 year old husband! After about 45 minutes we were all toast, so we left and headed to Ripley's Believe It or Not! Ripley's was a lot fun, however, I think my favorite part was when Andrew screamed like a girl because something scared him a bit! That may be mean, but it was hilarious! Not only did he scream he started running the opposite way we were going, I don't think I'll ever forget that. For the most part the kids enjoyed Ripley's!
After Ripley's we headed to the Santa Maria for lunch. We go to the Santa Maria each year, we started doing that when Carrie was just a baby. It's a kid friendly place, plus they get to feed the fish out of a hole where you sit. The food isn't the greatest in the world, but we go for the experience!
All in all it was pretty good day for the Keown bunch! I love my family, and I love spending time with them!
