St. Augustine on a tuesday

We decided to spend the day in St. Augustine for my 23rd birthday.  (I hadn't been in about six-months.) 
There were a surprising number of changes. 
Fun to see & discover new things. 
-We walked hand-in-hand thru Olde Town. 
-Spooned delicious scoops of blueberry & chocolate gelato into our mouths. 
-Smelled essential oils at Bath Junkie until our heads started to ache. 
-Tested out hammocks. 
-Shared a wrap & acai berry lemonade with rooibos tea at a new cafe, next to our favorite coffee shop- it became a new must-stop location. 
-Browsed a fun vintage boutique, even tried on a wedding dress from the 30s. Barbarba- the shop owner was so fun & knowledgable about "the old days."  I imagined her being an awesome Grammy who delights her grandchildren with glamorous stories of days goneby in her deep raspy voice.  
-We dreamed of dressing up as pirates in a costume shop.
-We sat on the rocky ledge on the bay & just enjoyed the boats & the sunset.

It was such a low-key, relaxed day. That's what i'll remember most about this birthday.


 
I'd never noticed these before Anna pointed one out in Baton Rouge & then we spotted this one in St. Augustine.  So now we make a point to look for them. 
A fun concept: planting the leafy part of the pineapple.
check out these fun popsicle flavors.  no, we didn't try one. should have tho. next time.
isn't he stylish? i love the new shoes he just got.
wooden bricks. sweet.
i think he looks like a vampire here. maybe he's a secret Cullen...
the man thinks he's Usher here.
Taking it all in.
King of the world!
