82:365 - Rocks and gators

Today we left the tourism of Daytona beach and headed north on AIA towards the oldest city in the United States: St. Augustine. Zoe has been studying US history this spring and St. Augustine was the perfect city to visit! It was a drizzly, cool day but we stopped along the drive to spend time discovering the unique cocquina formations along the east coast. The tidal pools and neon green moss were a great distraction for kids and adults. Beckett and Rodger took turn being crabs in the crevasses and Zoe took a turn at being the photographer. With the storms still rolling through, we made it to St. Augustine and headed straight for the Alligator Farm. The sheer number of alligators was insane and the size of some of the larger ones was a bit unnerving. I couldn't imagine running across one in a swamp! The kids were in reptile heaven! Dinner tonight was at Salt Water Cowboy's: this tiny house-turned-restaurant on the water. Of course we all had to try the fried alligator!
