Fort matanzas


One Saturday in April we went down with our friends the Baxters to Fort Matanzas, it is just a little south of St. Augustine and was built to guard the river. It is just the tiniest little fort and while it was functioning it only had like 8-12 men at it. The best part about it all though is its...FREE!! You get to take this little boat over then walk around the fort. After that we headed over to the beach, which you can drive onto. However- I would not recommend it since the sand is like sugar and we watched  plenty of cars get stuck and this poor guy with a truck kept trying to help tow people out and they would just get stuck again!

 Miley's friend Brooklyn! She seriously loves her and whenever we drive into the complex the baxters are in she starts repeating Book bi book bi- I am still so suprised she can recognize roads and buildings. ( she also knows Jt's work and when we get on the street going into his work she starts shouting Dada!)
