We met our "traveling friends", Mark and Patty, at St. Augustine for a "relaxing weekend" and to attend an Alan Jackson concert. This is a sunrise as seen from the balcony of our hotel room.
You can't visit St. Augustine without going shopping in the historical district.
Men doing what men do when their wives are shopping.
We decided to take a ghost tour which included the old jail, which is supposed to be haunted.
Our ghost tour took place a night, but this is what the jail looks like during the day.
It's finally dark and time to see some ghosts.
Lynda and Patty waiting for the bus to arrive for our ghost tour.
Our tour guide explains some of the "haunted" places we'll visit.
This is the gallows where hangings took place. The jail is supposed to be the most haunted place in the city.
We went to the St. Augustine amphitheater to watch the Alan Jackson concert.
Chris Young opened the concert and here is playing his current #2 single, 'Gettin' You Home'.
Countdown to Alan Jackson taking the stage.
Alan Jackson on stage and playing one of his many top 10 hits.
He played almost all of his hits by the end of the concert.
On the way out of town, we stopped to visit the St. Augustine lighthouse. It is one of the oldest lighthouses in America.
A view of the lighthouse from the parking lot.
After a tour of the lighthouse keepers house and some history lessons, it was time to enter the lighthouse.
We entered the lighthouse to climb to the top.......
but had second thoughts after looking up!
219 steps later, the view was breath-taking.
This is the roof of the St. Augustine amphitheater from the top of the lighthouse.
This is a fishing pier on the Atlantic Ocean that we walked out on the night before, after the concert.
Downtown St. Augustine as seen from the air.
St. Augustine's fort from the top of the lighthouse.
A bay-side cross at a Catholic mission.
Lynda and I at the top of the lighthouse, getting ready to descend back down the 219 steps.
The St. Augustine fort from ground level. One of the oldest establishments in America.
We visited the Mission of Nombre de Dios. It is the oldest Catholic mission in the United States.
The bay-side cross from the entrance.
The cross up close.
A view of the bay.
Think I might need a bigger patrol car?
