Yesterday Jeff and Andrea invited us to go out on their boat. We met up at their house and drove down to St. Augustine to launch the boat and grab lunch at the Conch House. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!!!
Right when we got on the boat Jeff went to look for the life vests...and quickly realized that they must have flown out of the boat on our drive down to to St. Augustine...we figured we'd look for them on the side of the road on our way back.
Here are a couple photos of the Vilano Beach Pier.
We stopped and ate lunch. The bruschetta at the Conch House was really really good! We were able to sit in a hut over the water. I should have taken a photo because it was really cute!
After lunch we headed up to Ponte Vedra, passing through Guana State park and under the Palm Valley bridge. On the way up there we saw this cool Pirates of the Carribbean inspired boat.
We saw some amazing houses. One that was pretty cute is this pink one.
Once we reached Marsh Landing we turned around and headed back to St. Augustine. After a few miles the boat was making a weird noise and not shifting into higher gears...and so began our 2 hour ride home at 8 MPH! It was very scenic, but we hoped to get off the water before sunset so we could look for the life vests and I know Andrea was missing little Conner! We made it back to the boat ramp just before sunset.
On the ride back to Jeff & Andrea's all 4 of us focused our attention on trying to spot the life vests on the side of the road with no luck. Hopefully next time we go on the boat we 1. won't lose any life vests and 2. won't have any mechanical malfunctions! Other than those two setbacks, we had a great time! Thanks Jeff & Andrea!
Bummer about the boat- didn't they just get it?
