Around Noon Jason and Leslie picked us up at the hotel and drove us to St. Augustine -- one of our favorite places in Florida. On the drive there we saw many billboards advertising The Alligator Farm. I had visited it years ago and kept reassuring Jason that we did not need to stop there again! He thought it was quite humerous when this was where I was seated at the restaurant.
I didn't even realize it until David showed me this picture. Then, of course, he made Leslie and me pose like we were shocked we were going to be eaten by an alligator!
We had a delicious lunch at The Floridian restaurant which is a farm to table restaurant and we all loved our lunches.
After lunch we strolled around old town St. Augustine looking in the shops and people watching. When we got too hot we ducked into the Prohibition Kitchen for a cocktail. It is a very popular restaurant/bar and it provided the cool atmosphere we were seeking. Leslie saw out the window that the sky was bcoming very dark and the wind had picked up and we knew a storm was on the way. We ran to the car and drove back to Jacksonville.
It was time for Leslie and Jason to feed and walk their dogs so we went to their house. I didn't get a picture of cute Sugar but here is a picture of Princess.
After visiting and listening to music for awhile we took Uber to the Whiteway Deli & Tavern for dinner. Surprisingly, it is the oldest restaurant in Jacksonville. The restaurant is composed of, I think, three separate rooms and we had one room all to ourselves. It was just a great time with friends whom we love!
Back in our hotel room we were treated to quite the display of fireworks!
I didn't get great photographs but the show was fantastic. Here are a couple pictures of the Jacksonville skyline.
Until tomorrow, good night.
