Our second day in St. Augustine dawned with the promise of heat and sun! We set out to explore the Castillo de San Marcos. A national park, it's the oldest masonry fort in North America. It's constructed in the traditional Spanish style, with garitas (guard houses) on each corner.

| "Take a picture of me and the cannon Mommy!" Don't ever pass up my boy saying to actually take his photo! |

After exploring the fort, we were off to lunch at a New Orleans' style restuarant
Of course, soon after we ate, Henry needed his lunch

| Big B took this photo of Brant waiting for Henry and I to finish |
After lunch brought another fun adventure for the O'Day family!
