The Beach in January?!?





Why not?!? Typically, B works on Sundays (he's PhD student) so he does not get behind. This partciular Sunday, we decided that since his work that day consisted mostly of reading, we would drive to the beach. He could study on the way there, the way back, and while we were there. We opted for Anastasia State Park. Located in the historic St Augustine, it's a short drive to the beach. So, we packed a picnic lunch and all of our best beach amenities and set off for Anastasia. I even packed my yoga mat and did some yoga-ing on the beach. As it was January, the beach was not crowded at all which was quite nice. While we didn't get into the water, we thoroughly enjoyed all the other things this glorious Atlantic beach had to offer. We also took our outdoor love seat that reclines which is a little slice of heaven.


After the sun went down, we headed into historic St Augustine and walked around finishing up with dinner and of course, beer. We curiously self-toured Flagler College as well which was absolutely beautiful. Tons of history in this area including America's oldest city. You can do all the touristy stuff or just get lost in the nature, historic cobblestone streets, and explore the area like the many a European before.
