St. Augustine with Max

Max and I went down to spend some time in St. Augustine. We wanted to check out all the Christmas lights and the Castillo de San Marcos. 


The lovely sunset from our hotel.


For dinner we were recommended to try the Ice Plant, an industrial building from 1927 that has been converted to a restaurant. I got the fall salad and it was incredible! 


Max with his delicious burger and truffle fries.

The Villa Zorayda Museum.

After dinner we went for a walk to see all the Christmas lights. 


The Plaza de la Constitucion.



Walking up to the Castillo de San Marcos.



The beautiful coat of arms on a cannon.


The Latin phrase “VIOLATI FVLMINA REGIS” which translates to “Thunderbolts from the Offended King”. 















Walking around the perimeter of the fort.

Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche and The Great Cross

One of my mother’s favorite places in St. Augustine is the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche. It is a beautifully picturesque place of worship with a large cross just a short walk away.
