Vote, drive, rock, climb, ride, learn, and sleep!

Saturday Aaron and I woke up and realized that for the first time in weeks we had nothing to do. So we decided each one of us would present Abigail with a option and she could choose what we did. Aaron wanted to take a drive down A1A, climb some trees ride a boat over to fort Matanzas. I wanted to go to Gainsville and walk around the botanical gardens. We voted Aaron won and we were off. We had a great dive it was a amazing day! We rocked and giggled as Harris and Abigail chatted in the back. We got there climbed some trees and got all dirty.





Then we were off to ride the boat over to the Historic fort. Abigail loved it and Harris ate, so he was happy as well.




Fort Matanzas



Abigail and I were hiding in this little nook they used to hide and attack invaders.





Then Aaron decided it was not a trip unless he took Abigail to the top of the fort. I was freaking out a little the fort was 3 stories high with no railing. The ladder to get on top was a steep ladder to preserve history it was just like the original the guide said. It was a amazing to watch as 30 people climbed up onto this small, if not tiny fort. I still do not know how they all fit.






On the way home we rocked to some more of daddy's music ( Abigail's request) Then Aaron and I enjoyed some fun chats while the kids napped like champs.
The best part of all was that other than gas and lunch it was all free.
I loved holding hands with Abigail and aaron. Watching Abigail as she rode the boat. Laughing as I watched Aaron climb a tree. Harris being completely unconcerned with anything that was not food. Thanks babe for having a great idea and Abigail for voting daddy's way.

That is funny that we were both in St Augustine on the same day and went to different forts. That fort looked more exciting!
